Ah, it is a beautiful knife Hugh, but it's not a Dundee. Boys will be boys and whores will have their trinkets. At least, I think that's how it goes.

Oh now that's a cracker Red!

Now, that I like!

Ahh, I knew this would come in handy...

What's the GIF? My scumpooter has an on and off relationship with showing pics on photobucket .
Stick it on flickr so that I can see it

And a loo review?

Let me guess ~ 'Toilet bowls ~ The Loo-down'

It is a wee pretty isn't it?

I like the fact that is in SWAT too - makes me smile that I now have things that were a fantasy then

 

[JonathanD]

I remember that in SWAT. I re-read that article recently too.

Rats! The computer speakers don't want to come out and play

Got the speakers working ~ scared the bejeezus out of swmbo as they sparked into life (I hadn't realised that I'd turned the remote speakers up to full blast oops ).


Good review .

2) More Shadow Puppetry Please!

I had similar thoughts ~ but mine was more ...

More play time today, decided to do a quick slicing and chopping comparison between THE HELLION!!! and two other choppers weighted either side, just a pic of the contenders at the mo, I am uploading the video as we speak.

Top to bottom:

TOPS Hawk Hellion Survivor 2020. 500g

You know it, I love it, THE GB Sfa! 900g

Iban parang, hand made in Belize, brought back by my slanty eyed friend Jap 300g

all weights without sheaths.

the drill was to remove the thick bark from a selection of Lime logs, then feather a piece of Alder, then chop through a quarter split of Alder. will post video as soon as it's done.

Cheers! Southey.

 

[JonathanD]

I crave that parang.

Hahaha I like to keep my chopper's clean! Jon I get to rehandle his other parang that came back too. No joke it broke while he was cutting his ftfty pence the blade shot nhck a thocked into a tree right next to there Iban guides head! The guy was fine with it as his dad had made the knife, haha I think I might sink a pin through the handle for him.

I hope Emm doesn't see all that spelling guff right there.

As you well know, I like my Iban parangs and have the scars to prove it. That one of yours is a beaut so if you ever want to sell it then see me first as I have a great collection on my office wall. I have a mate who has reinforced and pinned all of my Ibans now, as I don't want another side splitting incident like the last one.

 

[ex-member Raikey]

I have so much wood for yout right now!.

,.......oh David!,....i do hope its that lovely piece of Italian Alder you are refferring to??!

 

[JonathanD]

And on the subject of big daft knives... I was supposed to get my Dundee last week. Sadly they were out of stock and issued me a refund. I am anxiously awaiting a re-stock and then epic adventures and toilet reviews WILL begin.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Yes my spelling suffers slot without the spellchecker on the pc. Hahaha I did wonder when you said you ache that it might be you scar twinging, this one is my friends too, bit he and a few phthees go out regularly toe the jungle school so may be able to get one or two brought back, will let you know when the opportunity comes along matey.

I'm quoting all these for posterity (evidence), cos' those typos will amuse my little pit viper so much! It's actually just the parang you have in your piccy that interests me. It is spot on 100% perfect to the one I had nabbed (lost). I have plenty of Iban parangs here, but as close as the blade is to yours, the handles are a little different.
