    Rough Ryders & Ned Floss knives are my two favorite daily's . As a trucker its about price- these two makers wont break the bank and the quality is good.

      Warthogg what does eyebrand mean on boker knives..... the eye brand whatts it mean is it a better knife?

      @Warthogg1  4 года назад +1

      @@jerseyknifeguy6382 "Eye Brand" is from the knife maker Carl Schlieper which was liquidated in bankruptcy in 1993. Production of the brand was resumed by Freidrich Olbertz in Solingen Germany which I think just closed their doors a few years ago.
      I think Boker picked up the name & makes them now.
      It's a historically high quality brand.

    Awe man! I love it! I have a video coming out in a few weeks on that Blue sunfish. I love the way the main blade sticks out a little further than all those other sunfish knives that RR made before it, I would call that a whaler type blade, and I love that warncliff secondary blade. Thanks for the preview partner!

    • @Warthogg1
      @Warthogg1  4 года назад

      Thanks My Friend!
      The blade is reminiscent of the "whaler" sunfish patterns that GEC made a few years back. Glad you enjoyed the video.

    Beautiful knife. The "R" on the bolster doesn't look too bad on this knife. Maybe because the bolster is so large, the "R" fits better and isn't all crammed like it is on smaller bolsters. All in all it's a great looking knife! Thanks for showing it.

    • @Warthogg1
      @Warthogg1  4 года назад

      Yeah EDC,
      It does look alot better on this bigger bolster..looks so crowded on the smaller bolsters. By tomorrow, I'll love it!😂 Seems once you have a knife for 72hrs, you get a better idea about how you're gonna feel about things...love it or hate it.

    I would guess that main blade is aimed at the one of the original uses for an Elephant Toe, rope cutting. I love when a knife maker pulls something new out of the box.
    You have a nice line up there for not much money.
    I just bought a Chinese made slip joint in a similar design to the Andre De Villiers Mini Butcher, it has a tapered grip and a stonking great blade like a Wharnie on steroids and the fit and finish is as good as I have ever seen, I have never seen a knife quite like it but I love it, the only bad thing is it bit me while I was fiddling with it and watching a video at the same time.

      The blue flecks you see in the carbon fibre are like metallic thread, everything is highly polished, including every edge, the liners and bolsters are one piece with the CF inset, one of the sharpest knives out of the box that I have ever bought, I am honestly impressed with it.

      @@Warthogg1 What I like about it, is although it has similar styling, it is not a clone or trying to be. The knife has no marking on it at all, the edge is razor sharp and the action is great, it has no half stop but does have a pause at the halfway point. I honestly don't know what the steel is but it works and I like it.

      Thanks Stone,
      I'm reading in the comments that the blade is similar to that of a sailors knife. So batoning rope would be it's primary use I guess. Yes, Normally it runs around $33. Thanks to subscriber James, I nabbed it for $18 at Chicago Knife Works.

    Hey partner I have a lot of sunfishes and elephant toenails, but your blue one is a rhino I think. The different between a sunfish and toenail is that both bolsters are same width in sunfish and one is bigger than the other, small one on short blade side.
