Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Skaha II Folder

OM I have one of their fillets. Perfect amount of flex and nice thin blade. Get one.



Goes through them like butter.

Salmon fishing and patience - copy that especially when fishing in my boat I do alright on the fall fish but springers kill me. Woodson I did see on their website that they flex just right, would be great for cleaning up a mess of kokanee!!

Damn y’all. I am in the list

How stiff is that filet?
Would it make a decent boning knife or is it too flexible?

Thanks

Too flexible.

I just emailed to see where I am on the ordering list and it says 23 months?!?! Holy hell!

Damn it glad I got mine, signed up again to get a couple more, didn’t pay attention to lead times.

I got on the list a month ago and am probably longer than that. There was a guy trying to sell one on the big auction site the other day for a ridiculous price. He finally pulled the listing.

I suppose a guy could get on Shiloh's list and the Randall's too.

I got mine last week.

The fit, finish, grind and overall workmanship are the best I've seen. It has the thinnest stock behind the edge of any locking folder I've ever had. It should make a great slicer.

That said, and this is not a knock on the product, I can't stand the flipper. I feel like the flipper is in the way of how I grip it at times. I've always carried thumb stud or hole knives and this is the first flipper I've had. I'm sure most guys wouldn't notice but I'm not crazy about it.

Mine is going to end up in the classifieds because I just can't get used to it. If somebody here in the knife forum is interested, PM me. I'd rather one of you guys get it instead of a classifieds surfer.

maybe a stud could be installed if you liked it enough

I bought dude270's. Exceptional knife.

Judman;
Top of the morning my cyber friend, I hope the weekend was good to you and yours and you're all well.

Thanks for putting up the crisp photos of your Skaha, it looks "about perfect" to me.

When I was still gainfully employed and first learned about them I came within a whisker of ordering one just because.

As a by the way the knife is named for Skaha Lake which used to be known as Dog Lake back in the day. North Arm knives are in Burnaby, BC as you know, but they must have spent some time in our part of BC to choose that name. We've lived almost exactly centered between Vaseux Lake and Skaha Lake for more than 30 years and can walk to either one in less than half an hour, though none of that has anything to do with knives.

It's good to see a father and son outfit doing well too though so I'm glad to read you and other folks are pleased with the quality.

Truly what I should do is sell off a bunch of my excess stuff - axes, knives, saddles, etc. and then more etc. - and put my name on that list.

All the best to you all down south Jud.
