A very dear and thoughtful friend of mine gave me a new knife today as a Christmas present. I was presented, much to my bewildered shock and delight, a Custom Rick Hinderer Fieldtac. This blade is made in the CTS-XHP alloy, and is hand inscribed with Mr. Hnderer's name/signature and the alloy. More specs here; www.rickhindererknives.com/ri...es/fieldtac-5/ I have to say, this is probably the finest blade I own in my collection now. It is VERY well built - over built you might even say. The spine is SUPER thick, beefey and gives the whole knife a solid "like a tank" feel to it. It seems like a very well thought out knife - lanyard hole/striking pommel, jimping on top edge and small finger bottom, a forward choil which works very well with the jimping for small detail work, yet the whole knife still has enough weight that it would be a hell of a camp chopper for heavy use. Blade has a very slight hollow grind to it - very attractice. The point is a modified one that is very striking as well [no pun intended]. I'm VERY impressed with this knife, and was very honored to receive it. Here's some pics - I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts!

You have a very generous friend. Hinderer knives are so in demand that 2nd handed knives sell for more than the original price, if you are lucky enough to find one. You are lucky indeed.
