Throughout my (young) life Ive owned several knives, most of them cheap brand less ones in all shapes/sizes and types. For my bushcraft adventures I use a Mora which suit my needs just fine (for now). But after using a locking folding knife as my second knife, I wanted something more robust.
When I watched the sharpening DVDs from ABS Master Smith Murray Carter and seeing him shaving himself with his neck knife (!), it got me thinking about buying a neck knife. And since the man had got me interested in him and his products, I might as well could buy a knife from him!
I never bought and owned a knife from a custom knife maker before, but lately I contemplated about this mostly because I get to see the most wonderful pieces of cutlery on this fine community website. I mean, its kinda frustrating looking at all of these pieces of male jewelry and not having to own a bling bling knife myself!!
So I emptied my pockets, smashed my daughters piggy bank
, returned the dozens of empty soda and beer bottles to the supermarket to collect the deposits=> placed the order=> waited =>waited=> waited (GOD, why does waiting on something take forever?
) => anxiously waited => DING DONG=> and there she is: MY PRECIOUS
.
Overall length : 177 mm
Weight : 77 grams
Blade length : 87 mm
Blade thickness : 3.2 mm
Its made out of laminated steel with a blue super steel (Hitachi) core and designed to be a proper working knife .but still looks great IMO.
Furthermore:
Rosewood handle, tapered tang, unpolished hammer finish (forged), copper mosaic pin in the middle and securely held in its Kydex sheath not to mention . BEYOND razor sharp .
