![]() ![]() The blade shape allow the Yojimbo2 to cut on a board but also the Wharncliff shape protect the edge from any contact with plate’s ceramic. Once broken, I have been able to regrind the tip of the Ronin which has been one of my favorite big little fixed blade. Gayle Bradley has also chosen that steel for the exact same reason: strength.īut a knife will never replace a screwdriver apart perhaps for the infamous Ed Schempp’s Tuff. The CPM M4 used here is just peace of mind even on thin sharp knives. No certain I would try that with S90V but S30V heat treated in Golden is strong enough for knife shores. With the Yo2, I have been able to remove staples in wood planks and even drill into hard wood which mean torsions for the drilling. When I want to use the jar again, I will use more force or if stuck a twist of a leatherman’s flat screwdriver under it lips to balance the pressure. To eliminate any risk I have chosen a stronger alloy on my Yojimbo2: CPM M4 and so far the needle tip is as pointy as Day One.įor that kind of jar, the easiest way to open it is by making a hole right in the middle of its cap. The Ronin being made of VG10, I had managed to break it. I also heard a lot: “The tip could be fragile.”įor the record, the Snody/Janich’s Ronin and first Yojimbo were much more thin on their tip. Tomatoe’s skin can be tricky and rough or razor edges are their best nemesis. The high blade can adopt the thin geometry needed for easy slices into cherry tomatoes, a simple chore which can be tricky and is an excellent test for sharpness. Thank kind of weight behind the spine makes it ooze of power. This is not minor in the pleasure of using your tool. It is thick on the spinde and feels hefty hence the sensation of power when cutting. The wide blade goes through like in butter.Īlso the Yojimbo2’s blade got a certain heft. You can put all your weight on the spine to cut right through any matters. Personal preferences since my first Sebenza. But this a very powerful blade, able to withstand forceful pushcuts.įor that matter I have rounded the spine on mine. It is shorter than a Kapara’s blade which got almost the same handle length. The blade is short thick but broad and keen. Looking at the Yo2, only the very edge is straight. In fact despite being flat the handle is almost all in curves and You can notice the same shape on the Kapara‘s handle. There is a hump on the handle’s back which fills the palm of the hand making the grip secured even with very wet hands. A very commode grip when carving pumpkins or just cutting on a board. This is a real plus for indexing the knife but also to hold it by pivot area between the thum and the index. So let’s broad the specter of usage of t he good old Yo2. “This knife has been designed for Self Defense, It would not be a great EDC, especially in the kitchen.”Īll famous SD tools were issued from agricultural items, from nunchakus to kerambits and since when straight sharp knives are not useful in the kitchen ? After using the Kapara all this summer I have decided to go the opposite way with a straight edge and flat handle !Īnd having a lot of fun with my Yojimbo2, I have decided to beat that dead horse again:
