Pointles but COOL


Actually, there's quite a big point on there.

I have to say that Jon, as a man who:

Travels internationally in inhospitable places using knives for real bush work
Has been medevaced from the Jungle when a jungle knife (that I had used) failed and laid him open
Has designed a highly respected bushcraft knife

..is one of the people who I believe has enough experience designing, using and understanding the failure of knives to be highly credible in his reviews.
Good promo.....but hardly validated ?
I don't see his knives being bought , touted or praised on bcuk. Must be so good their like 'fight club '
I bet makers like Mark , Ben , Alan etc can't sleep .

Hey if you don't want to read his reviews, well don't. The man flies out to jungles to protect and survey dangerous creatures, uses knives hard in some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world, to the point that he has been seriously injured by them failing on him and into him through hard use.

I'm not sure what more qualifications are needed to review a knife?

For the record I think the Rambo knife is fugly - but Jon likes it for its associations - and its probably very well made. I do like the look of that new knife though. Looks a neat design.

That is an absolutely stunning knife though I don't think I could ever justify spending £750 on something that I'm just going to dribble on twice a day ! I know the knife is not to everybody's taste and the general opinion is that the knife would be of limited use outdoors ( at best lol ) but I think over the years it has got a lot of people interested in bushcraft and outdoor activities and that's no bad thing .

It's still working for me. I'm currently doing an in depth review of his new knives. Testing to destruction if it's possible. Here's a taster...






Now, I like the look of this one! Any info. about dimensions, weight, availability, how to order one, et cetera? I am sorely tempted... Dammit!
