Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I wondered that too...but I had a Saturday job in an abattoir in Notts when I was a young lad and all animals there had their throats cut. The thoracic used on deer (for DSC2 at least) is the only time I've seen it used. I'm guessing he has just used his abattoir skills.
in my findings from grallochs you dont get as much blood from the carcass from the throat before it coagulates.
from the breast bone you can pump the blood out and you get so much more i only use the kneck cut for dispatch on roadside call outs when i can't use a rifle. i am assuming that gravity aids the bleeding in an abatoir as they are hung and stunned so bloodflow is still pumping but that is a guess so willing to be put straight, again genuine interest from different ways of doing things, atb wayne

Hi fellas its the way I know to go , although brain dead the heart and lungs where pumping so as I would in a slaughter house I throated it .
All the meat you have eaten in you life through a commercial source would have Been bled the same !!
The little blood left round the internal organs was congealed and removed when I gutted it. this was never a "how to" just an example with one of my knives

Yep the atlas joint method of dispatch was something I wanted the knife to be capable of .
When I was going through the list of "what does this knife need to do "
That was one thing as iv sold over 200 now mostly to hunting lads.
There's no to ways about it, as the knife is designed its more knife than you need for most tasks .
That's the sort of thing I hoped would be seen as a benefit not a negative by customers
I hope one day everything I wanted from the knife is accepted by the general knifes using community , it's more affordably priced than most the competition , it's built stronger than the competition. It lacks non of the features of the competition .
And it's a bench made English production knife !
More importantly I would think as they are all made by me is the fact that I need every knife to be as good as it can be quality control has to be spot on.
But if you think most the knives ever made are by employees who just want the wage and could care less if there good or not or if the tempers been effected at grinding or the steels not good in the first place !
The division should be easily seen !
I hope the fieldcrafter will be seen as a landrover of English made knives .
Not much to look at but does a good job every time
But doesn't break as much as a Landy
I'm not sure what to do as an example of what the knife can take next .
I had thought of berrying it in soil for 48hours and seeing the damage and document how easily I could restore it .
And I will shoot it with a shotgun to show impact damage testing .
After those two examples this one and the glorious review Jon fenna did , I think I will just have to wait to see if people are willing to try owning one

To let people see the knife its self would you consider doing a pass around, that way people can get a feel of it and get feedback from them.
I like the design of the knife no doubt but i only have one downside to it and for me hunting all the time its a must and thats using stainless on a blade that is my only critisism, can you do the same in stainless?.
01 for my purposes do not fit the bill in deer stalking yes it holds a great edge but you have to really keep on top of it to keep it clean rust free ,my knife is used all the time in awfull scottish weather and being out in the ellements it needs oiling and drying to stop rust. for deer going into the food chain stainless is so easy to use you just put it in the dishwasher or out in the field wipe down with a wipe and put away i started off on 01 but changed because it is hard work in constant damp conditions keeping the blade rust free,atb wayne

Yes would do a pass round of course !
I'm in the process of getting some rw34 blanks made now but they will cost more !!

This is the knife that is at the top of my most wanted list.
Matt I was going to pm you in the next week or so anyway, but seen as though this tread is here it gives me an opportunity to ask you now. Are your knives in stock or to order?. Do you have green micarta with brass pins and lanyard in stock. ( I've only seen steel ) Could I order linen instead of canvas micarta. I hope I'm ok to ask, and anything else I'll ask in a pm, but regardless of your answers, I will be ordering one in the next in the next few weeks.
