the Deka is nice! I have one from a friend for testing. The one with me is the "angry sheepsfoot" It can be really useful but I like the version you got much more. It is a small knife but very capable. My friend does not like the frn handle scales either. He ordered some custom micarta scales. I like them. honestly...yes. You are right....and for the money you can expect g10 or micarta... A little tip: if you want to put a small edge angle on the worksharp, remove the thumbstud but watch out! Fo the model I am testing the one part is press fitted in. So be patient. It is a great knife, imo. A great choice to test out magnacut. I have no issues with the crossbar lock studs...or the thumbstuds, the scales, the clip...it might be a bit expensive..but as an edc knife..i really like it use it in good health!
Thank you SJ. It is a great knife and I like the shape but I will get better scales but only for my personal preference. The frn is very light and functional but I think the knife will make me happier once I do a scale swap
That sounds awesome. Make a video about Hogue when you visit again and then just stab your tire and tell the in-laws you had a flat while going for ice cream
Its awesome when companies take pride in their stuff. I dont own a magnacut knife but I hear good stuff. I primarily use D2 knifes and they work for me.. Speak to Reaper Customs to make you some lekker scales for it that arent FRN.
In South Africa all weapons or improvised weapons are considered the same. If you carry a brick or a knife it is all the same. So no restrictions but if you are carrying your knife to a mall it is fine but if you are carrying your knife at night wearing a balaclava then you will have a problem. Hope that helps
Hi J Magnacut is extremely rust resistant. I saw a video by Cedric and Aida the other day and it is nearly impossible for magnacut to rust. So a little blood will not hurt it. Thank you for watching
Very nice knife right there! Be well my friend!
Thank you JB. It is a cool knife and thank you very much for watching. Have a great weekend
Sweet you got some of that sweet steel. 👊🏻
Mmmmh MagnaCut. So far so good.
Looks like a great carry piece! I'm glad you got your hands on that one, buddy!
So am I. So far the Magnacut is great and I am even getting use to the scales

I got one once.. once! I didn’t like the cheap scales and it was smaller than I thought
The scales are very cheap feeling. Thank you for watching Goondocks
Hogue's HQ is less than an hour away from my in-laws. The trick is finding an excuse to skip out while visiting.
That sounds awesome. Make a video about Hogue when you visit again and then just stab your tire and tell the in-laws you had a flat while going for ice cream
@@STUFFWEDO I like the cut of your jib
Nice knife for edc
It is but it is a bit pricey

That sounds like a solid plan. PS D2 is great
What are the laws in South Africa regarding knife carry in public?
Are there any restrictions?
In South Africa all weapons or improvised weapons are considered the same. If you carry a brick or a knife it is all the same. So no restrictions but if you are carrying your knife to a mall it is fine but if you are carrying your knife at night wearing a balaclava then you will have a problem. Hope that helps
Could you test the stainlessness of the blade, perhaps with meat/braai?
Seen some vids that indicate issues with it when processing red meat.

I like it for that task! The bearings stay cleaner and can get washed more readily
When I said bearings I meant washers
I’ve had both blades. I prefer the wharncliffe. 😢
I will give it a go on my next one. Thank you Gary
There's two generations of Deka with different screw configurations. Don't think scale swap will work.
Thank you, I did not think of that. Have a great weekend
These knives are meant to be lite stop crying about the scales
Okay
All the knives in my house together is not worth R2800.00 . . .jirrrr, i must be a cheap-donkey.
No. Everybody loves a budget bargain but sometimes you should spoil yourself. Have a great week
