I thought the pack-pal had a little finger dent where the choil is :?:

Yes I definately prefer Allan Blade knifes to any other knife I have tried.

As to choosing between the models, No I do not have a preferance yet. I had thought that the Pack Pal was going to oust the Bushcrafter but using them both today just confimed how much I like each of them. Both knifes are first class and very capable. If I had to have only one knife it would probably be the Pack Pal but only if I was absolutely FORCED to only have one. Its smaller size is less frightening for the locals for when you are out and about and for a serious trip I would have a GB SFA for heavier duties. But the Bushcrafter is a fine knife and not really that big it is more than capable for fine stuff too.

So no preferance yet. I think the wooden handle on the Pack Pal also helps to make it look a lot less threatening. Looking back I would perhaps have got a Bushcrafter with a dark wood handle and mosaic pins, heck I still might but I do not know if I could bring myself to sell my current Bushcrafter. Having two would just be wasteful.

Of course once my Runt turns up everything could change again so watch this space.

Allan had some problems.
Have a look at Post No: 24

That was the first version but Allan had problems with that design so he modified it. If you check back through the various threads you will see the history. The new design has the coffin tang that you know and love

Oh ok, cheers John.
