Here's a couple of pics from testing the first prototype we received after the design was complete. It performed very well but needed some slight handle mods. I'll be taking it to the Amazon next week for some final testing. I plan on getting some of the locals to give me their feedback too. Hopefully I can talk Patrick into jumping in the river and killing a crocodile with it so I can process the meat.
I'm digging the sheath. Unlike leather or kydex, it'll flop around as needed when the tool is in hand or when I'm getting in/out of equipment.
While I've been mildly intrigued with the cleaver, this offering has my full attention. I had a small fit the other day about the knives in the kitchen. They suck and nobody takes care of them so I decided to find options that are better in quality and stand out as being more than an average, cheap-ass kitchen knife. The second part I hope will visually remind everyone that they are to be taken care of and not tossed and left in a sink or stuck in the dishwasher. And if someone does manage some stupidity with it..... it's 50 bucks.
Sounds like whoever taught my wife to handle knives taught yours too. Fair warning: The thing could be made of solid gold with diamond encrusted handle and it will still sit wet in the sink under a plate for 2 days if you let it. When it finally is taken out, it'll just be thrown into the dishwasher.
I know. I'm just trying to hold onto a glimmer of hope. but yeah, you're dead on. it must be a girl thing too because my daughter does the same thing.
You beat me to it. I considered buying a nice set of kitchen cutlery, and quickly dismissed the idea. Unfortunately for everyone in my house other than me, the only difference between a $5 knife and a $500 knife is how pissed off I'll get when I find it buried in the sink.
The people need to know the truth, that's all there is to it. If it does by chance rust, which it won't...ever, Mike Perrin will replace the blade and compensate you for the emotional damage that a rusty knife can bring.
