a consensus seemed to form that a group buy is called for.

This is just a heads up that I've sent an email to Bruce at Heinnie about it and I'll let you know when I hear back from him.

They sell for 78 Euros. No idea what they will be here yet, or what discount we may get for bulk buy. Ged is on it.

That's right, Ged.

I can add this infos, maybe help:
XL is 55-56hrc, thickness is 3,5 millimeters, his a machete style knife good primarly for fresh woods (cleaning camping areas, opening walking way on the bush etc). It's really easy to handle, I though this knife for prolonged use, on the other side you need not to use it as leverage
Parang 6" is 59-60hrc, thickness is 6 milimmeters, is a general camp knife good also for skinning if needed. It's a good camp knife according to the trials I'm doing (but I'm in conflict with myself , you will had an emergency kit and a cyalume as a plus on this knife.
Both the knives had a multiposition sheath in cordura.
Cost:
78 euros here in Italy for Parang XL
155 euros here in Italy for Parang 6"

[Pignut]

Could you change mine for an xl then, need the 440 if possible

 

[Bizmarty]

So, the XL comes with the Survival Kit Sheath but not the Kit, as shown in these pics?

I'm trying to resist the temptation of being on the 'both' list. Time and price will tell.

No, I only mailed Heinnie on Friday and haven't seen a response yet. I'd expect them to take at least a few days because AFAICT they don't even have the products on their Website yet.

 

[smallholder]

XL for me please.
