CRKT Minimalist cleaver vs Enso HD 7" Bunka Knife

Through many others, I finally have been using the CRKT minimalist and actually just ordered a SpyderCo LadyBug (supposed to be about 15 g). I don’t think I’ll ever be someone who ditches a knife completely or goes the razor blade route, but I’ve definitely shaved a lot of weight over the years. Small steps down definitely helped, as I don’t think I would’ve even considered such a tiny knife even 3 years ago. Especially for smaller items, I think it helps to gradually cut down instead of just going cold turkey

I have a similar knife be Tojiro and when compared the balance a weight issues are evident.

Opinel, Mora, CRKT minimalist, traditional folders like Case or GEC, Spyderco Salt, hawkbill knife (MKM makes a pretty neat one).

6. Primarily veg, some light protein - planning to get a mid-range German knife for anything dense/where bones are involved

My priorities are towards concealeable fixed blades. I highly prefer belt carry knifes as while i exchange pants and thus pocket sizes and arrangements regulary (office jeans at work, cargos in my free time, bike pants on the bike), my belt always gonna be my belt and on every pant, be it summer, winter, walking or riding my motorbike.

The blade height is 2 inches at the heel. Enzo has been crafting professional Japanese chefs knives since 1932, combining the best advanced technology...

The outer layer of the handle is so thin that it is worn through in multiple spots straight from the seller. It gives the handle of the knife a very shop-worn appearance right out of the box. It makes it look like someone has used the handle portion of the knife for a long time.

I found a rubber bike handle bar grip in a bike shop. Slipped it on. Works better for me. Your expenses may differ

Great knife, except it just falls out of it sheath. And after weeks of this happening it finally fell out and i didnt feel it. So now its gone. Was a good fit and sharp durable, just sheath was no good and now a waste of money because now its gone!

Knife, I think, if you can get these at like $ 99 or so on, sale they're an absolute still. I would pick up all of them if you could they're a good co...

Here lately, I’ve been sitting on the porch in the evenin working on making little feather sticks with it for lighting fire with. I have to say it does indeed work pretty well for that. Maybe I’ll take this little cleaver with me the next time I go deer hunting out in West Texas and see how she holds up in a camping sort of situation. I have to be completely honest here though

I'm sure I can work on them and get them "scary sharp" but the point here is the steel will take and hold a good edge easily once you've dulled it through normal use. And that edge will last a while. Enso knives are top notch. They maybe don't have the wow factor of a knife at 2x the price point but they are good steal put together by real artisans who know their craft
