Today, things seem to be working. After repeated chicken blood sacrifices and much ritual, I think I can post pics again. Here they are, two very similar knives:


Here, the HR does some fine cutting and slicing.


The YK does just as well. Both knives are hair popping sharp.



Now to try and dull them by beating them through some oak with a baton:





After a fair amount a such abuse, both knives would still slice just fine.

Both would still notch wood very well.

I can't tell much difference, except that the YK has more edge for batoning.
Both of them cleaned up just fine. No Swamp Rat or Scrap Yard knives were injured in this test.


For all practical purposes, these knives are the same. I could not tell them apart except for the choil on the HR and the logo on the YK. Both are outstanding, tough little knives.
