Really Special Deval Bushcrafter

[JonathanD]

Now this one is up for sale.. maybe, depending on how quick it goes as I really like it. But others have been made and this was supposed to be for my other half. Due to her pinching one of my others, the design moving on quite a bit lately and it never likely to be used due to these new versions, and the handle being slimmer than I really like, it is up for sale.

Obviously, handcrafted by Stuart Mitchell in the heart of Sheffield, even the full flat blade is hand ground. No jigs are used by Mr Mitchell. Mint condition, full flat grind RWL-34 steel with tapered tang, stabilised natural giraffe bone slabs with red fibre liners. Comes with a brand new Dugan sheath similar to the one shown, but left handed. Looking for £325 including shipping and fees.

That looks lovely.

What's it like with butter?

It's too good for butter. These should only be used with the finest of cavier.

 

[Shewie]

Any chance of a top view to see how thick the scales are Jon?

cavier is only suitable to have an excuse for vodka

Aww man, all this work.

 

[Miyagi]

Yep, lovely piece of work that.

It'd be just perfect for scraping the excess carbon off my burnt toast in the morning.

Braw.

 

[JonathanD]

Mock all you want. But I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that if a mere fella like yourself possessed a blade such as this, then you, Myagi, could carve the butter knife to end all butter knives and thus win the anonymous crap Mr Southey has up as a prize.

 

[Miyagi]

Never a truer word said...

 

[bushwacker bob]

So if this is the prize for your half of the comp why are you selling it?

I thought the Bayley was the prize in the comp?

 

[JonathanD]

I'll consider it.

Considered it. It's a no.

i,m reliably in formed (Dave told me) that Southeys prizes are,......

"stuff, some ace and some a bit poo" not his exact phrasing but you know what he's like....

i,m making an extra toxic butter knife out of a piece of yew,

 

[Dave]

"stuff, some ace and some a bit poo"

Yep, I remeber it was something along those lines.

 

[JonathanD]

Knowing Southey. He probably means that literally.

 

[JonathanD]

I almost forgot what the OP was actually all about. But despite the number posts in this thread, which may lead to the assumption this beautiful knife is sold. It fekkin' ain't.

 

[Mesquite]

Does it come with butter?

 

[British Red]

or the rest of the giraffe?

 

[HillBill]

Innit For that money i want the whole neck

Stabilised AND natural? We get 2 handles then?
