He was joking or just fixated on the sam adams.

The Hook is an awesome knife. I like it a lot more than the original DFCG. Recurves are awesome because they put the weight of the knife where you need it so a short 7 inch knife can chop like a 9 incher and it puts the edge at exactly the right angle for cutting. They are only harder to sharpen if you use a bench stone.

For some reason they are not popular with Scrapper fans but the nearly identical looking Emerson waved Commander is Emersons most popular model.

You might have to click on this photo to see it big enough. Quite the similarities
for a folder. I bet you can figure out how Emerson came up with the wave now?
