cKc 2.2 D2 Knife Hunting and Fishing

Mike in NZ Acquired a 2.2 model outdoor knife in D2 from the first run of the knives. I'd sold them all but agreed to let him have my personal one i made for myself.

The 2.2 is really a good knife. The design's beautiful ( everyone who sees it wants to pick it up and is drawn to it) and the D2 holds a good edge and the stain resistance is good for me because I'm nearly always in the wet or getting the knives bloody and it's hard to clean and keep them oiled in the bush. I've attached a picture of the 2.2 butchering a deer last week. 

 The 2nd photo is of a fish caught, then butchered and cooked using the 2.2

Final Score: Forrester XXXL - 1, Oak Tree - 0

Once I held this knife in my hand I was filled with ambition as this was the largest knife I had ever seen, let alone owned. The balance and the heft made me feel like I was holding the knife world's answer to the ax, so I decided to see if I could cut down a tree. But not some small tree that I could probably push over with my hand, I went after a nice sized Oak tree that needed to come down. With about 30 minutes of actual chopping, probably 45 minutes of total time including rest breaks, and I had taken the tree down. The diameter of the trunk where I cut was 10.5 inches.

My overall impression of the knife is that it has superb balance and incredible cutting performance. The handle was a pleasant surprise, the appearance of the thin micarta slabs sandwiching the thick stock looked like it might be uncomfortable, however, the handle was so well shaped that the grip was comfortable throughout the chopping process. The blade design is incredibly forgiving, even when my strokes were not delivered at the proper angle, there was minimal shock transmission and the knife still cut. The edge retention is out of this world, after cutting down an Oak tree I wiped off the sap and was able to cleanly slice paper without and hone-work or stropping.

I grade this knife 10/10.
