Customer Reviews
I have way too many knives and the crossbar lock version is my second Raccoon. I have really enjoyed the bottom lock version of the Raccoon for a while and wanted to try the crossbar version for a more robust lock. However, I find that the finger choil on the bottom lock version is much better and rounded. I must admit that I had no idea that it was a different shape of the choil on the two versions and the edges and shape of the choil on the crossbar version makes it difficult to enjoy and use the knife as much as I do with the bottom lock version.
Over all it is still a good knife and I will see if I can modify the choil in order to get a better grip on the knife.
What a great knife! The overall quality is great. Love the micarta handle and the easy to sharpen steel. And because it is a softer steel I will need to sharpen more frequently, so it makes sense that there is plenty of space behind the cutting edge before the handle gets thicker. Also it is very fidgety, the ball bearings make it very smooth to open and shut, which is a thing I critizise in the not so fidget friendly Ankylo.
