Withdrawn My Kamon for your Nine/Xerxes(WH)/Bazes/Other

[ZeeVee]

Sup KKF,

I don't know that I actually want to part ways with this knife, but it's new and I haven't formed an attachment with it yet, so for the right knife, I think I'd be willing to let it go.

From my experience using Alex’s knives none of them you can really categorize as a true WH. They are all quit stiff and have thicker spines, but they are all very thin bte and even a few mm above the edge. I don’t think that’s a bad thing, in fact I think it is a really good thing, but thought it was worth a mention in case you’ve never used one.

Very true. Both mine are very much this way.
