still around Skunk

Oh yeah, seems you are as well. Thought I had lost you a few hours ago.

yah had to get back to work really quick. but now im home.

im so excited about my WD. now i just gotta hunt down a Bird Dog and ill have all the 154CM blades.

how do the MPLE and WD compare to each other Skunk?

Pretty good. the WD can be used for more delicate work because of the sharp point and the long narrow blade is suited for a number of different tasks. The MP, with it's 3/16 thick blade is VERY robust. Just perfect for making cuts. I mean like holding a stick and using your stick holding thumb to press cut down the shaft like you were gonna make a fuzz stick. AFTER getting it, It IS quite possibly my new favorite using blade. Long enough for a LOT of tasks, curved to make a fairly good skinner/slicer and strong enough to use as a semi-light weight prybar (admit it you do it, even though we know we shouldn't). AND the handle alghough longer than I would wish by about 3/4 inch is VERY comfortable in the hand and gives you a full hand grip, GREAT!

Oh I forgot to say the WP excells as a slicer as the thin distal tapered blade just begs to cut. AND probably make a fairly presentable fillet knife to boot although most folks would say it is to short for that and to stiff as well. And it is a stiff weiner. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So far what I have MOST used the WD for is slicing meat/chicken and veggies. We all know how a sharp knife will cut through flesh, and recently it trimmed the fat off pork steaks like it was a laser. They were 3/4 to an inch thick and just sliced the fat of like there was no tomorrow.

The MP has just been used for smaller stuff MAYBE up to 3/4 inch on a few branches and some flowers and rose bushes. Oh I did slice some slivers off a 4x4 post just to see how it does, really good. If you need a good short, sort of, cutter and can use a gently curved blade, the MP is great. Actually the uses they both can be used for/excell at can and do overlap somewhat.

cool thanks for the info Skunk! man that was good!

yah im guessing ill be using the WD in the kitchen a lot. i already have a MPLE and it is my favorite edc fixed blade. the MPLE is a very robust little knife.

i can see using the WD for edc also. i love the curve on the blade, its not to much but just right.

Don't sell thw WD short as an outdoor knife though, I think it will work well for MANY of those type tasks as well.

man, the Muk, MPLE, and WD are gonna have to fight to be on my belt now. maybe ill just carry all three.
