FC for additional grip, it turns blade into straight razor

I'd prefer more edge. And anyway I always carry a smaller blade too, so I never have a need for a finger choil. I do prefer a sharpening choil though.

Yes. I agree. I should have specified that. I’m definitely down with sharpening choils

Only prefer a finger choil if the blade is over 9-10in to balance out the blade.

They both can work well if they’re design is good, but that being said I prefer no finger choil, but I appreciate a sharpening choil.

@4673962 2 ай бұрын

For me once a blade is around or beyond 6" its ok to have a finger choil. Even with that, it depends on several things. Out of the 2 knives in this vid, I'd say no finger choil.

I like the finger choil because it's good for better control finer work. It also helps it so you can choke up on the blade more

It has its ups and downs but I will tell you a choiled blade is always lightyears easier to sharpen.

@WungusBill-lf4iu 2 ай бұрын

I like it just because it gives a break in the edge a little ways away from the handle, which makes sharpening easier.

Choil for more than daily chores. Also depends on the blade size. Kizer Shark tooth... Then my 8" Winchester from about 45yrs ago. Great on both. Plus, it looks cool. Just up to your situation.

Finger choil is best choil

@chasewells5464 2 ай бұрын

I’m good with them on fixed blades, pocket knives usually don’t have the blade length to sacrifice for a choil. A perfect example to me is the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (and the Mili 2 honestly). Very little sharpened edge for way more than necessary handle length. IMO

@jonahtanner2502 2 ай бұрын

Honestly I think finger choil on fine edged blades ffgs and the like and maybe no choil on more aggressive/durable grinds/edges I think actually that both of the knives here are exactly perfect in their combination of features and am now curious as to the steels

Speaking from a bushcraft perspective, I was taught the first inch of the knife closest to the handle Is the most often used. That first inch of blade is the best place for leveraged to cut. But a larger knife. The choil allows better manipulation, Although for me choils are a no. Because I just know if I'm using the chill. That's the day i'm gonna get into a knife fight and lose my finger. I have to stay behind my knife guard. 😊

I just want Ontario's new owners to start producing the RAT-5 again (and not trying to sell it at 130$) 😢. In general, no finger choil for certain grips/leverages + ergos (meaning you can choke up on the blade while still having an actual handle vs a choke up with your finger fairly close to the edge/harsh angles). That being said, for an edc or a smaller knife (where youre not doing chopping/batoning/hard use tasks) FCs are great.

@JCTheSniper15 2 ай бұрын

The main reasons the choils are nice is for fine control and ease of sharpening.

@gialuongpham7870 2 ай бұрын

I don't like finger choils, they take the length useful of the blade. However, I think with a big knife thick blade (saber or full flat grind) a sharpening choil combined with a gradual transition of thickness will help reduce the potential crack from forming due to stress amplification. At this intersection the stress is very high when there is a strong impact on the spine of the blade (where this intersection will be compressed and it will easily destabilize locally because it has too little material) a curve knotch like a small finger choil will help to reduce the amplified stress.

@peterbiltknifeguy 2 ай бұрын

How about a large sharpening choil? Can do the same thing. I just think it’s unnecessary on a HUGE knife to believe you’ll be whittling toothpicks lol

@gialuongpham7870 2 ай бұрын

@@peterbiltknifeguy I agree, as in these 2 knives, I think that ESEE's choil design will reduce the risk of knife breakage more than the REIFF knife (when we compare the choil design) because it does not have a point of compressive stress amplification. On the contrary, jimping with small radius of curvature is also a fatal weak point of the blade when subjected to tensile stress.

I like a choil that's bigger than the normal little shits, but I like them small enough that people aren't tempted to put their finger there. Just....no. it's not a sword or a fighting knife. You don't need your lil piggies there, just bad news😂
