I have used Paul's knives and think they are excellent (as good as any other). Its a knife that is geared towards bushcraft type skills, so it does the job. There are lots of knife makers out there producing high quality knives that are as good as the more expensive brands you see knocking around, except they have not got the overheads to contend with. I would check out the British Blades website and pop in a search there for extra info. If you have any questions ask Paul himself....
