I'm really sorry to see it go down this route, but if anyone wants a superb knife at a daft price, here's your chance.

Thought you'd be happier with that price The reason they are reduced is because of the splitting issues, not a major problem as they can be easily and invisibly filled with superglue or commercial filler. Certainly not a problem at £75 Including shipping .

Definitely worth buying and re handling as worst case scenario
$90 from $300

Here's what Sal says....

Some have thought to replace the handle, but I believe that removing the handle and reproducing the excellent ergonomics of the original design would be difficult to impossible for most. My suggestion, for those that get one, would be to fill the cracks, polish the handle and enjoy using the piece. Of course the knife is also functional with the cracks as they are.

it is a great price, the previous one was far too steep for me, but with the new price "cheaper than an enzo" it makes it probably the best bushcraft knife bargain out there, personaly i have loads of knives and dont particuarly like the design, but im sure loads of people will like it and pick up a great bargain.

Cracks or not, if the handle is the same shape as my custom Chris Claycombe (which it looks to be) then it'll be the most comfortable handle going!

 

[Chris the Cat]

Where does it say sold out??

[tobes01]

Nowhere to add it to your basket...

These will be the must-have fashion accessories of the 'Moot - compare and contrast handle damage and how you've fixed it...

 

[JonathanD]

They're BCUK branded as well, what more could you want

Sal says there was a glitch on the website. There are loads in stock.

Here is what the cracks appear like. Easy fix.

Drop of the old runny superglue in that and you'd never know. I coated a whole handle in the stuff once, it polishes out like glass.

Superglue, sand, polish, sorted.
