Lofty Wisemans survival knife

[CLEM]

Just came across this knife on www.loftywiseman.co.uk and wondered what you more learned bushcrafty types thought to it.An old girl friend bought me his sas survival book years ago but i know nothing about his knife.I allso heard that he produced an interesting video some years ago too,anyone seen it or know where to get a copy from?

have a search aroung here or on bb there are old disscussions.. i have heard some good reports from people who have them but i think the general concensus is it designed for use in tropical jungle enviroments and is expencive for what it is!

i have one they are ok work well for what they were designed for but you could buy 2 or 3 very good kukris for the same money the sheath rocks though
or even dare i say it a good billhook

Looks like a glorified and very expensive parang to me.

As already posted, a Khukri would be more practical and cheaper.

I had a copy of his video, lent it to a mate who lost it :aargh4: Well he aint my mate any more particularly as its almost impossible to get another.

It was pretty good, though basic. It's been so long I only remember bits of it
