I have ordered a new knife, it is the Bushman Graduate by Paul Baker. It is in 01 toolsteel with black dyed ash handle with hidden tang. It comes with a leather sheath with a loop for a firesteel. Paul tells me that I could have it as early as saturday, I'm well excited ):

:wave:

It arrived this morning, it is really wet here at the moment so i will probably get round to some testing and reviewing ssometime tommorrow.

Here are some pictures as promised:

[grumit]

looks good scott but aint it in the sheath the wrong way around lol :wave:

 

[ScottC]

LOL yeah but I'm left handed and prefer it that way

 

[JakeR]

well why didn't you specify a left handed sheath? :shock: ):

i'm left handed too, my experience of fitting knives in sheathes backwards is that they always, eventually, cut through the sheath. i would strongly suggest that you keep it in the sheath the "right" way round. a cut up sheath is one thing, but it could mean a nasty cut for you when the knife comes out of the side of the sheath.

the sheath might seem very secure, personally, i wouldn't bet any of the tendons in my hand, or a major blood vessel on it.

cool looking kit though mate. :super:

cheers, and.

I've started putting it in the right way now anyway after a conversation with grumit, more inconvenient but atleast i'm not going to slit the sheath like you say. Thanks anyway.
I have been really impressed with it so far and am collecting a few materials to do some testing and reviewing.

 

[grumit]

hi scott have you tried putting it on the inside of your belt backwards on the left the sheath looks as if it would work that way around it would mean your belt would go over the top of it and keep it on even snugger giving you a left hand draw :wave:

 

[JakeR]

Good idea! Irrelevent to me but i can see the beauty of that idea!

Hello all.

Thanks for the comments..so far.

Scott.
I usually ask if there are any special requirements when placing an order, I seem to have forgot to ask this time. If you would like a left hand sheath, let me know and I will make one up for you, No charge for this. All I ask is you send the old one back when you receive the new one, carry on using it and give it hard time, it will be usefull for assessing its durability.
