OK I've tried this on a few other forums and have not had a lot of luck. Here's what I already know:
-Grayman has a great rep and is awesome to deal with. -Yes, there are a lot of other blades/steels/makers out there that I could look at. -I could spend half as much but, I could also spend three times as much. What I am looking for, SPECIFICALLY, is first hand experience with the Grayman Darfur Defender, Ground Pounder, or Mega Pounder. Preferably with the Defender. I'm sorry if I sound like an ass but, have you ever posted looking for info on "A" and you get 15 responses telling you all about B,F,K,L,O,S,E, and Z? Gimlet |
I have a ground pounder with gator grip. It came to me with pretty crappy edge and I had to sharpen it. The guy I bought it from said his other grayman's were like that. It was also crudely finished, you can see marks/grooves on the blade. However once it is sharp it cuts pretty good. I chopped a bunch of shit up with it without problems, it did get dull and the paint was scratched up when i cut the top off a can of beans and it took me a while to get it sharpened up again. I really don't give a shit how it looks so I am happy with it, the guys on Blade Forum tend to poo poo it and say you can get a nice looking knife of the same steel from RAT Cutlery or Ranger/Ontario. The balance is pretty good, the grip is good, the sheath is a good simple sheath. Personally I am happy with it and just bought a mini dinka from him, which I hope to have this week. precan attack photo You won't find much about them. There are a couple of crappy articles in the knife magazines, including this months' "tactical knives" (boy did I feel like a fucking idiot buying "tactical knives" in a suit, the cashier recognized me) I sharpened it up and it easily sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers as good as a kitchen knife. |

A buddy of mine has one. It too was dull when he got it but I think it has a decent edge on it now. I would love to have one just cause I like the looks and usefulness of it. Then again, I am a sucker for good steel and knives.
Have you seen the Grax? I want one of those too. |

I just got a mini dinka in the mail. They had some problem and shipped it out a little later than they said but threw in a t shirt. Neat little knife. You can only get two fingers on it so it's sort of a really thick neck knife. Doesn't seem sharp at all, but that's no big deal. I'll edit in a picture tonight. |

don't know anything about Grayman expect what I've read. check these out though if your looking for a unique combat knife. the owner/make is great to deal with too. almost every piece is custom made for the buyer
