Tom in the UK –
So pleased with this Patriot D2. It just oozes quality, from the secure Kydex multi-carry sheath to the ‘hungry’ D2 steel blade (flat grind, really slicey but with enough length and heft to it for light wood processing duties. Easy to sharpen too…) and the super-hard lignum vitae/Guayacan scales feel great in the hand. It’s also just beautiful to look at and handle, pleasing in its simplicity and lack of pointless embellishments. The jimping on the blade top and bottom gives good grip enhancement without rubbing your thumb raw, and the handle is a perfect size for my hand in both front and chest/rear grips. Great for notching and carving, but also a joy for food processing in both the veg and meat departments..
The only thing that has me slightly baffled is the pointy tang protrusion on the butt but it’s not an inconvenience for me, just a design mystery.
A very good all-round performer; all knives (or most) please for a day or so, but this one will be my go-to for years to come, whether it’s a night in the woods or a picnic with the family. Don’t be put off by Manly’s recent appearance; these guys really can cook when it comes to knife making. Recommended.
