Predator WSK knife evaluation [with DAMAG-INC]

[Tradekraft]

The idea behind this knife, in a survival sense, is that the heavy end is used for chopping wood and bone. The long swooping curve of the tip gives you more cutting surface for skinning and the short section above the handle is a sharper blade for detailed work. Of course it could be used as a "combat" knife, but that wasn't what Tom Brown was going after.

[Etienne938]

It looks just like Tom Brown's Tracker knife, manufactured by TOPS knives. In fact, it's almost exactly the same. I don't know a lot about knives myself, but it seems like one is a ripoff of the other. Enlighten me here, please.

@Etienne938 it's basically a copycat model. I was offered the knife in exchange for a video demo of me playing with it to endorse it for the company.

Good show!

i hate it when people say a knife is not a combat knife. ANY knife can be used for combat. ANY knife can be used for survival.

you Go, Daniel bro!

It might not be a bad knife if the hatchet portion was bevel ground or convex ground but a hollow grind on an edge meant for chopping is weak. I miss my Dave Beck WSK. To my thinking, they don't get any better than that. However, Roger Linger seems to have the right idea on making these knives.

[Budokid]

I just got the knife. It kicks ass.

[Budokid]

Don' get me wrong its a nice knife and all. I'm getting one myself. all im saying is its a tool for making other tools. Yes, it can be used as a fighting knife but there are other knifes better suited for that. I would something a litte lighter and with better point penitration.

[DanJuanDeSiga]

I can DIG IT!

Nice style blade,inferior steel used in manufacturing.

Perhaps if S-30V or BG-42 was used they wouldn't break so often under medium duty use. Good luck, they have had a poor success rate on Blade Forums and the Tops Model seems to be a better buy than the Red Scorpion knock off.

[DanJuanDeSiga]

I wouldn't know about the inferior quality of the Red Scorpion model as I have had no problem with it. It's perfectly balanced and it still depends on how "balanced" the individual handler is in utilizing such a tool. So far, I've been able to handle it with great success. More than I expected as a matter of fact.

[isaaccis]

wicked knife.

[DanJuanDeSiga]

It's not the knife's fault. Most especially if you're covering up for a lack of skill in KNOWING HOW to handle such a blade.

respect the blade !
