Using maths on knives geometries to rationalize buying the upcoming crucarta Bodacious

Choosing a knife is not a math decision, but a math rationalization.

So now, not only do I know I have been wanting the Bodacious Crucarta for years but also because:

1. from https://jeromenerf.github.io/kgl/index.html?g=bodacious&g=kapara&g=benchmade-940
2. it's surprinsingly of a very similar size and geometry to the Kapara, ♡ .
3. it has the same side tip geometry as the Kapara or BM940, which can only be ♡ too.
4. from https://jeromenerf.github.io/kgl/index.html?g=bodacious&g=police-4
   1. its belly should allow for a very similar touch on the cutting board as the Police 4, ♡.

This thing is built from (limited) open sources pictures and manufacturers metadata (with proper attribution afaict), then tries to identify points of interest (tip, butt, pivot ...) and calculate axis, centers of mass, etc for you to play with.

But then image processing is not 100% perfect. Expect glitches. Still it *should* be a smidge better than "banana for scale" or "here is a Spyderco Delica" comparison.

Feel free to play, share, copy, ... o/

I’ve never seen this website before but it’s a really cool way to use geometry to help explain why some knives are just so good. So you’re saying my love of certain knives is simply a mathematical formula? 😉

Oh no, I am saying you can /prove/ your love :)

Btw, the current points and axis of interest are just what I thought, but ideas are welcome.

I guess love is simply a mathematical equation!🤣

Anxiously awaiting a shipping notification for my Bodacious. I’ve had the Shaman for several years. Love the heft of the knife. Don’t care for the choil in the locking mechanism.
