Your review resonates with my experience with the 202 on hardwood. I presume that it's all about the double bevel it comes from the factory with, or lack of a scandi or convex grind, I think. The double bevel almost bounces off hard wood when cutting at an angle. We could sharpen it to a scandi or some such, I guess, but for 99% of what I want it to do, it's fine as is. It's an excellent knife, very glad I got it. Will remain my main knife for years to come. Thanks for your review and comments!
Hammering an enclosed rubber handle knife, on the handle with a heavy stick, isn't the wisest thing to do. Some famous knives like Fallkniven,especialy the Cold Steel SRK, their handles,start loosening, even without hitting them like that! All that super steel and knife batoning madness, came out of RU-vid. It's all marketing in my opinion. I 've spent a fortune but most of all thousands of hours using and testing knives. I 've spent a life, studing metalurgy,chemistry and knifemaking. In the end of the day, all we need in 99% of the time, is just a Swiss Army knife. The rest, comes out of RAMBO movie, marketing and the fact, that they turned us from human beings, to overcosnuming programmed Robots, that obeys to anything they throw at it. Some say that people nowdays have only one god, and that's money. That's wrong, money is just the bait inside the trap. The murderer, who created that trap and used money, to get us in the trap, that's who is actually "behind the tree", behind the scenes. That's also why he seted up his traps. He wants us to worship him, as a god. That's why, we get another product and another, that we actually do not need. Because we have to be addicted, with as many different things as possible. Cigarettes, Drugs, Knives, Alcohol, even food and USA knows what I'm talking about, when I say addicted to food and overconsuming. I just mentioned some examples, it's a lot more than that. Another example,I know people that have more clothes, than a whole country in Africa... Why they didn't do that to Africa? But they are already either Satanists worshiping the Devil and doing Voodoo. or Atheists. Unicef, and many other similar organizations, are just misleading tools. Actually, they don't give a damn about people in Africa, or any other poor people around the world. On the contrary, they abduct their kids, for their rituals. I don't wan to get deeper on that last thing I said, who knows...knows. The news on TV, since 2019 prove all what I said. It's all written on both sides books (The Bible and the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion) God bless you all!
Bought the leuku and was highly disappointed. Used 2 times feather sticking and the last 2 inches of the blade were as dulll as a butter knife. Sent it back. We will see how warranty holds up
