Howdy folks!
Figured I'd show this knife in use, seeing as I've already reviewed its out of the box state.
Well, she's looking a bit prettier now I've taken the time to photograph properly, tripod and all and no nasty flash.
Done a sheath too...
The gear I'll be using; one of the barry trotter books (HATE them) the Toenail, a resin panel beaters mallet and a cheap and nasty strop that ended up not being used during the review. Knive starts out razor sharp with a convex secondary.
Feathers from the big blade. I'm rubbish at feathersticks unfortunately but I reckon this one's alright
Feathers from the little blade. Nicer still This little blade just glides through the wood, it's like making butter shavings.
Just to show the size of shavings that the big blade can take off when needs be Hacksaw blade in there by accident, but let's say it's for scale.
Slicing through barry trotter, 'cause I hate it just that much. It did scate off to the side as my knuckles hit the floor and I couldn't keep cutting straight; it did keep cutting, though.
Still mighty sharp!
This one was a bit scary. Never battoned a folder before! It got this far without any problems, but trying to go a bit farther and the knife started folded so I figured better safe than sorry, and stopped here. Easily a big enough opening to get a wedge started though, so as good as any folder needs to be.
And still sharp!
This is a bloody great knife, I love it! It's as tough as it needs to be, but certainly doesn't shy away from the finer works. I look forward to trying this out carving a woodspirit or two! And getting the rest of the RR collection
