    Butchers cleavers

    If you can't use a bone saw then yeah, a hatchet. But direct cross length cutting into bone with smash it and case fractured pieces to go in the meat. Splitters are used down the length of the whole body to split a beast in two, I think through the spine or right next to it. Not a butcher so...

    Serratas reduced to 210 pounds.

    Very cool! Unique endeavours in the knife market usually end in fugly tacticool trash sold to the Americans (no offense boys but it's true lol). This however is actually looking to be decent and inspiring. Well done. Not to dig at spyderco, but do not let them take over. This is yours! I...

    Kylie stick

    Reminds me of those lead topped throwing sticks used years ago to nail small game like squirrel and pigeon. And I think they are legal to use, I made a thread years ago asking after watching a documentary that had them. They were straight, forearm length and crudely made. Looked like lead was...

    Butchers cleavers

    I think my old one is a splitting cleaver, the bone type you mentioned. It's stout and heavy. Not to be mistaken for army length hog splitters though, those are borderline war axes lol. I'm guessing op wants a big kitchen cleaver rather than a thick beast.. but could be wrong. Imo there's no...

    Butchers cleavers

    Butchers cleavers

    I think Amazon stock several victorinox kitchen and butchering knives, my brother bought a Vic boning knife last week and it's superb. I can imagine they'll stock cleavers too and again victorinox make superb knives at a fraction of the price fancy ones go for. Failing that I have a vintage...

    Tbs knives

    I'm interested in the folding version, does anyone have a side by side of one next to any other common pocket knife?

    Nunas

    Looks like a proper knife! Finger guard is a great addition and sadly uncommon nowadays. I can see the Hitler youth inspiration but if you add some antler handles you could edge towards the puma white hunter look.. ;)

    Withdrawn High End Knives at Bargain Prices NEW BLADES OFFERS WELCOME

    Interested in the CS mini but only if there is no blade play. I never ever buy locking knives as they always have play. If that one is truly solid please let me know!

    Snide Comments

    It's just a bit of drama and steam bud. You'll be hard pressed to find snide comments on the diy. adventure and fun type threads, mostly it's kept to the ones on law, bragging/experience stories and generally broad opinion based topics. And if you have read enough threads and dig back, you'll...

    chris caine survival ''parang'' ?

    I think it's against forum rules to request valuations.. And as he's a bs'ing fraudster who ripped off Lofty so I doubt it's worth much more than a brand new one, and only then to a 'collector' as the tool itself isn't reported to be particuarly great. I bid £15. ;)

    *The* Gift-It-On Thread

    All sorts of items have been gifted here. The original item was infact a little folding alloy shovel generously gifted on with the hope in mind items of no use to one can be given to someone who will have a use for it. That's the point though, the original concept of the thread has slowly died...

    The End of Internet Knife Sales. Law change could target one-hand opening folders

    I'd be cool with that too, making multitools, locking blades etc legit aswell. The anti badger fears not guns, knives with sharp tips or corrupt politicians!

    The End of Internet Knife Sales. Law change could target one-hand opening folders

    I think it's time I dusted off my cape, binned my med's and go to my alter ego to fix these streets. Only 'the anti badger' can answer the midnight cries of this frightened and dieing nation! He may not be the one you asked for, but he is the one we need. (Online and instore retailers need only...

    Helle Eggen???

    See the almost hooked finger guard? It would only be comfotable for me if that was filed off and made straighter, something I had no intentions of doing..

    Helle Eggen???

    I'd say don't buy one, if.. you have actual man hands. The finger guard seems to be designed to accommodate for thin fingers and short Knuckle spans. I'm assuming small to medium hands without chunky digits, a youngster or female? Having meat fists it was far too uncomfy to use, so on a shelf...

    The End of Internet Knife Sales. Law change could target one-hand opening folders

    Done the silly list thing. Found it very subjective and coercive towards to the YES BAN BAN BAN outcome. Luckily most stupid will get bored after a few pages and just give up, leaving a majority of sensible replies.

    Garberg?

    I think the pricing is because of the modern steel used and the need for new machinery to produce the knife. It does look good, but not at Fallkniven prices. I think the knife is also aimed at americans, and they'll happily buy expensive stuff when it's endorsed by fellow americans i.e Dave...
