Product Description
The great outdoors has nothing on the Defcon TD005 fixed blade. At nearly 9 inches long, this powerful full-tang knife is primed for tough cuts and slices Read More
i have one of these and they cut very well and slices paper with no effort with very tiny hint of fuzz on the paper edge. only sad part is i paid more last year. lol
frankw1029I'm not questioning the sharpness of the edge here, I'm saying about the geometry between the blade thickness and the height of the grind.
Paper is easy, as long as your edge is sharp the paper moves itself out of the way... It's about whether the blade wedges cutting through stiffer material.
Cardboard boxes are the easiest and most common example.
With equally keen edges, a thinner blade will push right through with relative ease. A thick blade will start to bind when the part you've already cut starts pinching against the thick spine, and you have to push harder to spread that open for the edge to make contact and continue the cut.
I found prices from $60.00 to well over $100.00. I spent about 10 minutes sifting thru google returns. There was nothing cheaper. The only fixed blade that I am considering is the Bradford Guardian. If it was offered at this price, I would buy two.
14themoneyOh man, Bradford all the way. Not even close. I have a Guardian and the workmanship is fantastic. It's a beautiful, functional blade. Worth every penny more than you'd spend on a Defcon. In fact, if you wait, Drop will probably have a Guardian on sale.
