EnzoTrapper 95 Green

This is my first Enzo knife. I've been looking at them for quite some time. I decided to start with this model for the following reasons:• I wanted a flat grind for slicing and food prep. I suspect it will also be a good knife for field dressing deer.• I wanted a decent stainless steel. From my research, the N690co steel is similar to the Japanese VG-10 steel in edge retention & ease of sharpening.• I like that this Enzo model actually has a lanyard hole.• I am a fan of the green canvas micarta handles/scales.Pros:• This is an excellent knife, especially for the money.• The blade as it came from the factory was very sharp. It sliced well but was not quite "push sharp" where you could simply push the blade down into paper and expect it to cut... it had to slice.• Easy to sharpen (on a strop). It didn't take much stropping for the blade to become push sharp. It is now popping hairs/shaving sharp.• It has a very nicely sharpened 90 degree spine making it excellent for striking a ferro rod.• I love the handle and the balance of the knife.• It is very well made. Good fit and finish. Good symmetry.• It has a very nice sheath.Cons:• Above I said "good fit and finish". It is good... but not GREAT. The one thing that would have made the fit and finish "GREAT" is if the edges of the steel between the handle and cutting part of the blade (top and bottom) were not so sharp. I'll probably whip out the Dremel and polish those edges down so it's not that big of a deal. For the price... it's still excellent.All in all, I plan to use this knife as a general camp knife, for food prep, for hunting, and light bushcrafting. And no, I'm not planning on batoning with this knife (although I am sure it would handle it well).

Overall, this is a very well made knife with a nice hand feel. Very comfortable to hold and work with. The handle scales are well made and fitted. The D2 blade is razor sharp, can be resharpened relatively easily with a diamond hone, and holds an edge well. The blade is not a typical Scandinavian wide bevel, but flat ground with a narrow bevel. This makes it easier to sharpen. The leather case is well made and has two options for attachment to belts. This knife is very much like some Dozier knives, but a little smaller and much cheaper. More likely to end up being used. The only issues I have are: the handle is a little small, maybe too small for someone with large hands, and the hand guard may be a little too subtle. Otherwise a very nice knife - well made, sharp, not so large as to be awkward, but large enough to fit well in most hands and provide a good grip.

Superb wilderness/woods knife. Love the size---not too big, not too small. A little over 8" overall, with a 3.75" blade. Beautifully balanced. The flat grind blade has a satin finish. Blade steel is N690Co Stainless. Handle is smooth green micarta and fills the hand nicely. The brown leather belt sheath is both handsome and exceptionally sturdy. Highly recommended.

quality knife good design

I love it

Hermoso diseño con canvas de micarta y liners en color rojo. Con un tamaño muy versátil y transportable. La forma de la hoja y el espesor, sumado a la calidad del acero utilizado le otorgan un filo excepcional. Por último se agradece la funda de piel de buena calidad que lo cubre casi por completo con muy buena retención.
