Rather funny. I just received this knife this week. And I was coming over here to start a thread asking you folks what you thought of. It.
But Corso beat me to the draw. Thank you sir!
I have mine and like it. I also have a 2000, and I like that as well. It is a great all round user. As stated from summit to sea. I have always found my 2000 to be a hideous color combo. I quite like the new green on the Kansbol.
I like the new handle. If for no other reason than the lanyard hole, and better color. It also has a great grip to it. Feels like an old friend.
I went with the Multi-Mount Sheath. It does offer a decent array of options. The sheath retention is way better on my Kansbol than my 2000. I think if you strung a leather thong through the drain holes on the bottom of the Kansbol's sheath it would make a decent neck knife. Especially with the extra snap retainer for added insurance.
Another thing I like about both of these is the flat smooth pommel. I use the palm of my hand to split out pencil lead size kindling from pencil size kindling. So it is nice to have a smooth surface to strike.
I think I actually like the polished surfaces of the 2000 a little better. But I may polish up the Kansbol. My grinds where the knife narrows down out front are a little off. But not overly so.
It arrived hair shaving sharp.
I don't have any photos yet. But when I do take some, I'll try and get them posted up.
I got my 2000 in a trade as a bonus to another knife. At first glance the colors made me a bit queezy. It sat for about a year, then one day I grabbed it and took it out. It does a surprisingly good job. From slicing veggies to feathersticks. Once I broke the ice and used it. It has been a constant companion. Tough enough, long enough, and stupid light. I like the low maintenance aspect of it. Especially in my wet, cold, Adirondack forests.
I was both surprised and pleased when I saw that a thread was already started about this knife, and started today in fact. So far I am pleased with my Kansbol. I think it is what More advertises it to be. A great all purpose blade.
Overall, so far. I am pleased with my purchase of this knife. It is more expensive than the 2000. But the Multi-Mount Sheath has my interest. I like options.
I'll add some in use photos as they come in.
