The Shoot2hunt Podcast

[Speaks]

I kind of like that its half BSing and not all just serious hunting info. Lots of sources for serious info. Shooting the shit about hunting and guns is a nice break from spreadsheets and business plans in my day. Look at meat eater kind of fills that same niche for me. These guys sound more like my buddies shooting the shit though.

I'm ok with this too however, I'd love some time stamps so I can easily jump to the meat of the content.

Often times I'm driving to work and have a limited window to listen (even in 1.25 speed)

Is this the correct knife maker ? I’ve been wanting a CBK and Rokslide has inspired some new versions.

Is this design influenced by Form? A previous post mentioned he was working with a knife maker at UM to make some minor adjustments to the original design.

Does anyone have experience with this design compared to the Dixie Zipper https://rokslide.com/forums/threads...ipper-mini-cbk-for-a-group-buy.393007/page-4?

Thanks

I don’t have the zipper but do have a few others, (LT wright small northern hunter is the zippers daddy imo) The top knife wouldn’t interest me. The sweep of the zipper and others is what keeps the knife doing more work. The top knife to me looks as if the tip of the blade is the only usable sweep to the blade.

I have a Dixie CBK and it’s great, fits the hand and gives you a lot of blade to work with. The top design doesn’t have the same lines as a CBK so I don’t think it would handle as well.

That is closer to a Nessmuk, IMO, which is a great knife for a trapper/hunter to carry for general purpose. The leaf shape is what works better for skinning. I am thinking about making a Nessmuk as my next knife for a Rokslide collab.

That’s the same steel that I am using for the Dixie Zipper, and I like it a lot.

But, the lines are not as sweeping as the CBK design incorporated in the Dixie Zipper. The blade shape does a lot of the work with the zipper. And, the handle angle keeps the blade engaged with less stress on the hand working on the animal from strange angles.

If you want to pick up a Dixie Zipper, my offer stands to anyone. Buy it and try it. If it’s not for you I will send a refund. If it takes a season to figure out if it is for you, that’s fine.

I am ordering some wood slabs for handles, will have some in January start to show up.

I just broke down an entire elk with the same @Dixie cbk knife that @hereinaz sells, or at least very similar. Great knife. I highly recommend it.

I'll be doing some custom Zippers out of Magnacut to send to @hereinaz when I get back from hiding out in Arizona from the snow.
Elk antler and Stabilized wood will be the first... likely with leather sheaths.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll give the Dixie Zipper a shot. I read through the thread more thoroughly and I think it will fit my needs.

I just bought this Koenig Knives Helo Magnacut. Haven't had a chance to use it on an animal hopefully next September.

With the wood or antler, I’m on board! I know it’s asking a lot but if I sent you a piece of deer or elk antler, could you use it for the handle? Would have a bit more meaning to me that way
