After using the Kapara all this summer I have decided to go the opposite way with a straight edge and flat handle !And having a lot of fun with my Yojimbo2, I have decided to beat that dead horse again:“This knife has been designed for Self Defense, It would not be a great EDC, especially … Continue reading Yojimbo2 as EDC Workhorse ?
