What do you get when you combine a nasty, rainy Friday afternoon with a Remember Golidad Doppelbock and a mighty fine Ken Honeycutt "Dorado".............

*That* is a nice one...! Love the ergonomics of the blade and handle.

A while back, IIRC, Ken featured a pix of a model 50, I think it was, with green buckeye burl scales. I only have one other blade with buckeye burl and so I contacted him and asked him to do one for me with the green buckeye burl. After I received the knife I inquired in regards to the "Dorado" label versus the model 50 label. He indicated that he'd named that model the "Dorado" as the heel of the handle reminded him of the head of a Dorado fish.

Ya', I can see that.

Anyway, like all Ken's stuff this one is mighty fine in its execution and has a sharp toothy edge. Made short work of the silverskin on the beef tenderloin, not to mention the meat slicing capabilities.

Anywho, a couple more pix of the whole enchilada.......

and what a guy,

I mentioned that with knives this sharp, I usually nick myself sooner or later.

not only did Ken send me a band-aid, but included another for sensitive just in case I might be delicate.

Yup, give a little more than what's expected and you'll always have biz.

Thanx Ken


Best,

Really good looking knife. That's thin blade stock, is it long enough to have a bit of flex? Bet that's a slicing son of a gun.

RE: the group buy. I'm in for 2 if it is the model 21. Either 1/8 S30V tapered tang with beaded black linen and red liners, or 3/32 S30V with say...black/silver shred Carbon Fiber...?

Journeyman, be glad to make you a group of two. Holler at me sometime and we can work out the details.

Wish I had some more of that green buckeye! Nice stuff!

Thanks,

FYI Geedub and Wilbilly, you're knives tested 60 on hardness. Forgot to put it on card.
