Custom mini Canadian belt knife

[Jake Larsen]

I have never been satisfied with edge retention on either of the grohmans I have had. The KOA yukon was very good for edge retention but the grind was much thicker than I like.. a perfect copy of grohman in better steel with a full flat or hollow ground would be perfect.

You can order flat ground Grohman #1s direct from them. Still a little thicker steel than I’d prefer, but it’s better. I agree with you on the steel though. A thinner stock Magnacut, flat ground exact copy of a #1 might be as good as it gets.

Honestly guys, 20 pages into this thread and no one has bought a $100 Grohmann and just copied it exactly. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to try and build a better mouse trap. Just saying.

I just feel skeevy doing a direct copy. I also think there is likely room to improve somewhere... in my case the Grohmann is just a bit too big.

That being said, I do want to get one in hand just to get a feel for the blade/handle relationship. Perhaps the Cold Steel will suffice

The Cold Steel has issues too. I just ordered another #1 a month ago. It shipped yesterday. It’s well worth getting the genuine article
