    Gotta love those dlt packages. Picked up a wee case slip joint for my lil bro's 30th present, because every man should have a classic slip joint. Nice wee knife, edges need a tickle though.

    Dlt had the yukon on sale so be rude not too pick one up. Been using a cheap cold steel cbk and while I don't love the knife itself I really like the profile.

    The koa Yukon seems pretty nice, fit and finish is pretty good, not exceptional but perfectly acceptable for a $100 work horse. Factory edge is a little toothy but very sharp. Shaves hair ootb. Umed and ahhd between this and the lt wright northern hunter but in the end my preference for carbon steel(and my cheapness tbh) won out.

    I can “tickle” up the edges if you want, I can take them to 50000 on diamond grit that will give you a polished edge that will allow you to whittle hairs if you want, I charge $5 per blade (if under 100 mm), you pay postage here and back.
    If you are not happy with the edge then you don’t have to pay...
