That's a great knife mate - like that design a lot. Keep meaning to send the PFK back to Stu for a refurb (he's offered before). Not many makers offer that as a free service!

I think it's a testament to Stu that he will do this sort of thing free of charge, especially considering i was not the first owner.
Not to mention he's a top bloke too!

This knife goes everywhere with me when I'm out bushie-ing. It cuts my food, does my carving, cuts plants, wood, paracord, leather, material, skins rabbits, joints meat, guts fish, anything I need a knife for. I've used it to wiggle things out of other things, etc, etc. I keep it clean and sharp - a blunt knife is useless and dangerous :)
 
Currently working on a working knife that i found, it was in a pretty poor state but cleaned it up and all that left to do it put a handle on it and paracord wrapped or wood.
i would upload some photos of the progress but i dont know how can anyone advise?

I will only carry and use a knife that will not distress me if it runs away and I never see it again. That means a cheap and inexpensive knife that probably cost less than $5 for a pocket knife or $10 for a fixed blade. As an example, I purchased a thoroughly satisfactory Schrade folder for less than $5 that did everything I'd ever use a knife for. Unfortunately, I have no idea where it is just now.

Generally speaking, I try not to get overly attached to things like that, so it doesn't bother me to lose it. Losing a cat causes me more grief.
 
That Bahco is a great tool Mary - the illegitimate offspring of a tough knife and a chisel. It pries, scrapes, levers, chisels, chops and batons (and is built to do so). It aint pretty - but pretty is as pretty does!

I have the Bahco with the rounded end blade (SB-2449) - cheap, a very thick & tough blade and perfect for extracting wayward arrows from trees, target butts etc in field archery. I stopped using posher / weaker knives for field when I got it.
