New Stuart Mitchell knife
- Thread starter SimonM
- Start date
The awaited day has arrived ... the knife and leatherwork were delivered today. 
I am well pleased with both, the craftsmanship and attention to detail shows through on all three items.
The knife looks and feels fantastic. It is set off perfectly by the Rapidboy sheath and fits home snugly. RB also made a mask for my SFA and this is also a fine piece of work!
I shall give my new toys a chance to impress even more over the weekend, as I am on an Archery Leaders course.

Glad you got it safely mate, and glad you like it... Let me know how you get on over the weekend please
I should have said...
The knive arrived in a soft, zip up, fleece lined case emblazoned with Stuart's stylised name on it. It also came with a very nice certificate listing the knife details and lifetime guarantee.
I have just made a couple of feathersticks using the knife, and once I got used to the feel was curling tissue thin slivers of wood off. I lit the lounge fire using a firesteel struck with the knife and was rewarded with a good shower of sparks.
So far so good .... thanks Stuart :You_Rock_

Thread resurrection time...
Despite having (cough) a few knives, this continues to be my main user and belt knife.
Used almost daily for a variety of tasks, like battoning kindling for the regular Kelly Kettle sessions that I run.
Edge retention is great, with a little TLC on the strop every week it's always shaving sharp!
