My first thought on this picture was "manual powered 1x72" - then I saw the little grinding wheel.
My bad as I was one of the last ones to use the chevron before it went back Kipp. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I recall enjoying this knife a lot. Profile, heat treat, balance f&f all top notch as expected from Kipp. The grind?! Well, first thing that struck me (and surprised me!) was how versatile the knife felt. I expected it to be a one trick pony; instead I felt I could pretty much use it for anything. The release was, as expected, very good. Over all, I’d rate it beige++
What’s it going to take to get a chevron hook mass drop? Name your price and terms - a year wait, no problem; payment in bitcoin, we can make it happen. Ok, maybe not bitcoin but one of the other coins for sure

@ian you should be advocating for this, the massketeers have you lined up for your chevron hook grind if kippington falls thru. You better get that workshop sorted asap@Kippington you should absolutely either take him up on this or not take him up on this!
Schrodinger's suggestion?@Kippington you should absolutely either take him up on this or not take him up on this!
I insist on doing both!@Kippington you should absolutely either take him up on this or not take him up on this!
It think that’s possible. He does the mass drop but on the condition that I am excluded from it. Sounds fair enoughI insist on doing both!
I vote yes. It was an awesome knife to use. I propose 26 226s and 22 262s.
No, that would be both taking him up and not taking him up at the same timeSchrodinger's suggestion?
As a good real world approximation, maybe Kipp could either do or not do the massdrop, but also not tell anyone whether he's doing it or not, and only respond to inquiries about it with cat memes.
Yay! Right-handed people unite! Like the Japanese makers that charge 50% more because "**** you lefty!"Maybe he could or could not do a Massdrop of proper handed knives...
Guess which country has a much smaller number of left handed people...Yay! Right-handed people unite! Like the Japanese makers that charge 50% more because "**** you lefty!"
I'll charge 50% less, but ship half of you a paperweight in knife-box. Probabilities...No, that would be both taking him up and not taking him up at the same time
I designed the chevron (and hook grind) because, as a knife enthusiast, I really love to use things like that in the kitchen. Making them on the other hand - they're a real pain in the backside, and the thought of scaling it up into a massdrop makes me feel sick.What’s it going to take to get a chevron hook mass drop?

I'll take rave girls, thanks.I'm pretty sure he'd rather take payment in scene girls than bitcoin, but you never know.

Steel and construction: Mostly iron.Y'all, it's not really that hard to get @Kippington to to a Massdrop. You just have to phrase it correctly.
