Bahco Stainless steel knife (KAP1E)

After reading this thread: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80775
I liked the look of the Bahco knife.

The best price delivered seems to be amazon seen here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bahco-BAHKAP1E-KAP1E-Gardeners-Knife/dp/B0009VX3L8

but after looking around i found it on the Screwfix website for £11.99 although its not in the catalog. http://www.screwfix.com/p/bahco-stainless-steel-knife/82527


I have only just got the knife but when locked it feels very sturdy and its very light and thin. The handle is 4mm thick which also has some nice file work and the blade is just under 2mm thick.
The handle is 100mm long and the blades length is 70mm (full blade not just cutting edge)

Not had chance to get out and test it properly but it comes fairly shop and its feels great for under £12.

Here is the knife with my Army Clasp knife.

Thanks for posting pics. Have seen that knife a few times on Amazon but failed to take the plunge. Last time, I ended up getting an alox solo SAK instead.

This now might be back on the hit list, having had the opportunity to see it in the flesh.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think the blade shape resembles that of the Kabar USMC knife?
