Okay, so I’m going to step out of character just a little
bit and talk about something more on the personal side. Why, one might
ask? Well, I suppose I’d have to say that my excitement in this case has
overwhelmed any sensible notion of keeping the blog otherwise
non-personal. On the bright side, I’ll
make this pretty brief.
Recently I purchased an Automat Kalashnikov 74
(manufactured by Boker) from BladeHQ, and I have to say that I’m more than overly
impressed with the quality of this knife. The quality of the AUS8 steel (which
always stands in relation to the manufacturers ability to get the heat-treat and
temper right) seems right on; the automatic blade release is smooth (even right
out of the box) with a final heavy engagement, just beautiful; the pocket clip
is very tight, very ridged, much better than most of my other knives; the
handle size seems just right, and I’ve got much larger than average hands; and
finally, well, the knife is just so damn sexy with its AK74 bayonet styled handle and black teflon finish on the
blade.
.... Actually wait a minute, I almost forgot. The box, it came
in a really cool box too; check it out, it's shaped just like an AK74 clip, SWEET!:
... And here's the knife:
So there you have it, I'm gonna carry the shit otta' this knife. I'm in love!
