guidence, frency talisman or jakelore classic?

[eddieb]

I am stuck as choosing an actual bushcrafty knife my only one I have at the moment is my mora and a becker bk2 but I want a handmade one, and I'm stuck between the frenchys talisman and the jakelore classic so I need help deciding or if there is anyother suggestions
Ps.if there is any knife makers willing to out do those knives please show off Im open to handmade ones, I will be purchasing end of January time when I get my year bonus

take a look in the swap-sales-section of this forum, plenty of pictures of knives made by makers here.

Look at hillbills knives

And acording to jacklores web page he isnt taking orders at the moment.

He takes on 4 months work at a time so I just gotta be patient and I'm trying to find Hillbill

HillBill and FGYT both get my vote equally as I have dealt with both.
RobEvs is another I would buy from without hesitation or if you want something unique try Mr Dave Budd

Mr HillBill

Look at hillbills knives

Gets my vote, and there's a couple of very nice bargains in the maker's market if you'd like to have a gander

I can't comment on the frenchys talisman but I can on the Jacklore. I have number 72. Sandy is a great guy to deal with and his attention to detail is superb. My Jacklore is as good today as when it arrived. It's kept a sharp edge and has proved easy to keep sharp. If you can order one it's well worth the wait.

Arh so many options I'm liking them all! Hillbills jacklores not sure about frenchys not seen anyreviews on them. If there is any pros and cons on the knives you guys got on them please share

+1 fof hill bill, FGYT (dorset woodland blades) and dave budd. NPD is also a very talented fellow. I own blades from all of them.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Not seen him for a while but Nektarios does some really nice work.

Hillbill, fgyt, kristofish, rob evens.......All those chaps i'v either dealt with or have knives I covet


Lots of choice out there fella, for the record I'm not mad over your two choices. First one is too bulky, second is just a woodlore clone
Just my opinion there of course
