You choke up on your NW??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Mine are the sharpest blades I own, including other Barkies. I don't want my fingers anywhere near that edge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> About the only thing I don't like is the handle can get kinda slick. I tried to get Mike to redo the handle on mine so they were more like the golok handle. It has a little bit of a guard and I really want that with the NW's. I don't know if I'd trust the Res-C handle, but it would prolly be OK. Textured G-10 would be my choice though.
