Scandinavian grind Clint, very nice. And congratulations.

I carry a multi-tool, which is apparently legal in Ireland, which bums me out as I'm moving there. What's that about, Irish forum members?
Weird. But I feel your pain. Here in Oregon we have some of the most liberal knife laws in the States, mainly because major knife manufacturers Benchmade, Kershaw, Leatherman and Gerber are based here. I carry an auto Benchmade knife every day. But I can't take it out of state with me because "switchblades" are illegal in just about every other state.

great gift @Clint_D so this "friend" gave your wife a tool to take you out with?
damn shame :O)
enjoy the married life buddy

It's really an interesting knife, the blade is only ground on one side and feels very nicely weighted. I'm looking forward to getting acquainted.
Nice looking knife. How comfortable is it to hold when you're working with it?
-
Thanks all. It's a beautiful knife, we just got it last night so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. These come as right or left handed so it's very ergonomic and it seems like it's going to be really nice to work with.
@madmonday That was my first thought when we opened the box! I'll have to sleep with one eye open but married life has treated me well so far.

Cause we're all mad! .. and drunk.. all the time.. Who'd trust a mad, drunk, irish man to legally carry a knife.. not me for sure!

It's a traditional Japanese grind, only on one side. It makes sharpening the knife easier as you only sharpen the secondary edge bevel and then strop off the burr. It's left and right side specific as a right hander will cut food right to left, and the slices will fall to the right side without sticking to the blade. Vice versa for a lefty
A Scandi grind has a low primary bevel like your Sikayo but doesn't have a secondary edge bevel
That's a really nice knife, you should get a lot of good use out of it

I know we're a bit behind the times, but I'm sure other countries have similar laws against carrying knives. Tbh, as far as I can see there have been a good number of drink/ drug related stabbings in the last number of years and often enough fatal. So people do carry them. Anyway as a caveat, machine guns are the latest big news.. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/gang-known-as-the-family-behind-5m-cocaine-and-heroin-seized-by-gardai-30986653.html

I'm a pretty typical American in that I don't understand why I can't walk down the street with an RPG as long as I'm not menacing anyone with it.
What the fuck would be the point of open carrying an rpg if you weren't menacing people with it?

Typical Americans- bringing guns into a knife discussion.

thoughts on good knives to fit the beetle busters…. well…. Knife pocket? itching to get a new knife and would love to see what others use that give you that "perfect fit" while being a worthwhile edc with a sharp blade and edge retention.
P.S. I'm sorry if this was covered i browsed through the thread but want about to read every post in the 140+pages.
