Eder Canadian Belt Knife
Finally snagged a nice example of a Canadian belt knife. Unusual that this one became available just as I was looking for one. May have been a little more price wise that I was wanting to spend. That went away though when I admired the burlap Micarta scales. Knowing that these run in all sizes, this size will certainly fit the bill. It fits nicely in gym shorts and is not too heavy. Had an old slip I repurposed to a minimalist design. It now can be drawn and ready to work super quick. The sheath made for the knife is of high quality and would fit a belt nicely. This is a fine example as the handle and blade materials are top notch. The burlap micarta is “ribbed” offering a touch of tactility as the burlap is smooth and very comfortable to the touch. Handle is off a nice shape and swells the palm nicely. What else can be said of the MagnaCut steel-blade came shaving sharp and the leaf shape lends itself to slicing tasks as well as skinning chores. All in this is a premium offering from a great knife company known for their Randall’s outdoor line. I have 2 other Esee knives in the Randall’s line that are larger so the belt knife should complete the trilogy and get me a step closer to the complete camp knife setup. If you may like the belt knife design, I can’t recommend this one enough. Easily this knife will last through generations with minimal care. Regards, Heart_o_Tex, Ken Clark
