Re: DLT Kapara Exclusive!

And 20CV by Spyderco got a bite enhanced by the Kapara geometry.
It is easy to keep it highly sharp for a very long time. No chipping at all too.
Fantastic steel+ heat treatment+geometry on the Kapara.

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread

Of the three: Swayback, Rex45 Chief and C20V Kapara, what do you love for each design ? I think that I've probably talked about all of them somewhere around here at different points. Swayback: Love the profile, the slender long wharncliffe blade gives excellent cutting power and a lot of length. It...

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread

Very nice choices! I love all three as well!! I picked up the Swayback when G&R did their 30% off sale, got it for $200. It is great at any price, but mine is never going anywhere. Lucky you ! I have paid mine $356 !!! (300 euros here in France). Anyway the VAT are now applicable (1st of July 2...

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread

I like the design quite a lot and would love to try it, it just costs far too much for me. Go G10 or FRN so the price drops to ~$120 to $140 or so and I can justify trying it out. Could ask the same for the Nirvana or the Paysan... A FRN Paysan won't be that expensive after all. :-D Part of the cha...

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread

Nice shot Connor ! Been processing some turkey meat this morning for Sunday's lunch. So it was cutting board chore. I kept my Kapara aside and decided to go full Swayback. It went very well even with the absence of belly in contact wth the bench. The tip of the blade was really handy for removing an...

Re: Swayback Lookout Thread

I know the swayback handle is "upside down" to make drawcuts easier, but how does it handle holding it normally? The butt of the handle digs into your hand really badly for any real use. The Ti scales are too heavy to make it a legitimate work knife plus the blade is very thin. There are ...

Loc-tite aside, I really enjoyed working on my Chief. It's very easy to take down and put back together compared to the Manix XL's I worked with last.

PS check out that date stamp :cool: :D
Great pic and the engineering is neat.

Re: DLT Kapara Exclusive!

Same here. Smooth transaction and already shipped to France. I should get it for next week.
This is my Bday treat. I loved my normal Kapara but I needed a more exotic steel on this great design from Alister Philips.
Let see how the Grey flies...
