Nice straight edge on that Dave. And I love how the top line looks like a symmetrical arc. Really nice knife.

Dude, ***? no custom sheath?

Your standards have dropped of late.

 

[British Red]

A few are like that .

You know how it is around the homestead though - slicing sacks, prying boards, scraping putty, taking lids of paint, pruning sappy trees, cleaning up beehive components (with a roofing torch as you can see at the chisel end) and on and on.

I have a mora I sharpen on a grinder too:aargh4:

 

[Squidders]

You only told me about the mora to upset me!

Curse you.

 

[British Red]

You want me to upset you?


Remember this beauty?

I do... who did the sheath for it again?

Aside from my original Gene Ingram that will stay with me until I take a dirt nap, I seem to sell-on knives before they move from used to very used condition. kudos to you for getting yours dirty though, that would have been a lot of peoples drawer queen.

It was a guy Sty Mitchell knows - I don't think he's on the internet sadly - he does lovely work! I do use that knife, but I caught myself trimming mastic with it one day which was wrong hence the Bahco (those thick chisel ended wrecking knives are actually very handy for a working knife). I use a couple of longer ones working on veg as well

i'm after something a little more exotic in a sheath to suit a new purchase... alas singtech has not been heard from in years so i'm on the hunt for a one-off.

 

[bushwacker bob]

singtech was on here about a month ago, Worth a P.M.

 

[British Red]

Yep he's around - living in Malaysia though!

 

[Squidders]

I obviously meant gnat-years... i'll get my coat

...and PM him. Cheers!
