That's what car boot sales are for :27: I gave my bad ones away and lost the money :angel:

Just read some of the reviews for Arthur Wright on HH and they are a mixed bag, but some are happy with the sharpness of their blades, so it looks just as I've found, that you can get good and bad blades from the same maker. What isn't excusable is that they don't sort it if there is a problem.

Sell it. There will be other Father's Days. Nothing worse to my mind than a knife that won't take a good edge. I've had a few Sheffield knives with that problem. The worst was an Ibberson British army knife, wasn't worth a damn, struggled to cut string. I had an Ablett that I thought took a poor...

I'm a ham, but I've not been active for quite a few years now. I had a lightning strike on my shack which took out all my rigs. It hit the 2m vertical and went right through the wiring of the house, TV's, Video recorder, everything. :vio:I had a TS850SAT with a G5RV and Bencher key, I'd worked...

Both good, but I'd say the Vic's are in general a little better. Wenger's seem to have lighter springs/pulls.

Has BB gone down again? I can't get it to come up. Edit: Never mind, it's back :-)

Nightshift?...No Retired :dancer: I'll see what I can do...no promises :beerchug:

Sorry it didn't work for you, I admit I often just post links, I don't have the patience or inclination to write a review at 3.30 am :)

+1 Great knife, great quality, great price.

+1 I had a bad cut in my teens when a slip-joint folded on me...my fault.... not a SAK, but I learnt the lesson to keep the pressure on the cutting edge, you only need to keep the blade at a slight angle to what you're cutting and your fingers are as safe as houses. Not knocking anyone who...

It's about £80 on this site, but then you still have to import it from the States. http://www.edcsource.com/VICTORINOX-MAUSER--Special-Edition,name,111684,auction_id,auction_details I've seen them sold for about £40 over here in the past for a used but good condition one, but it's very rare to...

I've not got the Stockman but I do have a Buck Medium Trapper, made in China, and I must say the quality is very very good. YMMV

I use one of these : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-Devils-Lifestyle-Super-Sharpener/dp/B0012B4EYE They work OK for me on my SAK's but you do need to use them carefully or you will scratch the hell out of your blade. There is a bit of a knack to it. I turn them upside down and resting them on...

I've got one just like it. One of the first knives I ever owned when I was a kid.

These aren't issued, but the ones I have (and I've a few) are as good or better than the issued ones I've seen. EDIT: I've removed the link that was here as I've heard that a fellow BB member has had poor service from the retailer concerned. Make sure the blade has a rounded top like...

The OP's knife is in my 1993 Whitby Catalogue. I don't have a price but it is described as: SK2222 7 1/2" Whitby Special Forces Knife. Olive drab handle and cammo pouch, black blade. There were two other versions of this knife, one with a stainless blade and black pouch and another with...

Not working for me. :-(

I don't know if you can fix it, probably not, not easily anyway. Vic might repair it? If not you might like this, not a Hunter but close and a good price. http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_8&products_id=7208&PHPSESSID=tejcom6blol5ic7h8nqgq4in65
