Bushcraft 'bargains'

[Mick721]

I've just been perusing amazon for some new gear when I found this item,

http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B007SX9B16

Which is a woody clone blade blank masquerading as a skeleton handled knife.

It's amazing what tat people will try to flog as 'bushcraft items' these days. Items on eBay are a prime example, with boxes of pre packed tinder ( cotton wool), survival kits and penny stoves all being sold for too much.

I suppose it's a sign of the rise in the popularity of this pastime of ours.

The ricasso is almost the length of the handle!
Nice price though...

I suspect this is another alias of Tim Noble

I personally wouldn't purchase it.

And also you can get a handled bushcraft style knife for £1 more.

Read some of the reviews, they mention gut-hooks and sheaths, which this clearly has neither

Something about those reviews stinks in my opinion. I'm also thinking Noble.

What's wrong with Noble knives? I've never heard anything, so have no opinion. If it's not appropriate to say, pm me.

Caveat Emptor!!!

Also some of his aliases used on Amazon are seemingly attempts to deceive people

That ricasso is eating up nearly an inch of usable blade.

Neah!
