some pics!

[JakeR]

I hope this is gonna work now! I've finally got my digi working, and successfully uploaded pics!

So, some kit...

first off my Northstar, Bison Bushcrafter, Allan Blade bushcrafter w/full flat grind.

Same knives and their sheaths.

less said about that the better!

And my hand in comparison to the NS

I can see that if my hands were bigger it would be less comfortable but, for me, it's fits like a glove!

My P.C is incredibly slow at uploading. It took half an hour to get these up, so i'll get more on, but it'll take a while.

[JakeR]

Tom, just thought you may want to edit out the password and have it available on request as someone may use it unsuitably?

 

[JakeR]

NS, Bison Bushcrafter, A Blade bushcrafter w/full flat grind.

Hows about this then?

If so then it took half an hour and will post the rest tomorrow!

 

[JakeR]

Woohoo! First pic post ):

 

[RJP]

Nice! I like the bison - mmmm! ): Is that Thuya burr?

You responded to my earlier post on small bushcrafters, thank you. But which is better quality wise - Bison or Allan Blade? As you have both!

An also how did your order time compare?

Cheers,
Rob.

hay.. when did you get a bison.. :yikes:

nice collection mate :biggthump

 

[JakeR]

I thought you knew!! :yikes: I got it second hand from ScanDgrind biggthump)

RPJ, quality wise it's difficult to say. They're different. As you can see, the AB Bushcrafter is bigger, it fits my hand very well, and would probably be even better if my hands were bigger. The Bison IMO has a much more universal grip, there's nothing uncomfortable in it, i think it's the best handle design imo; nice and rounded.

I haven't extensively used the AB bushcrafter yet, but will do hopefully sat/sun. The Bison is almost faultless. I think it would be better if the bevel was a bit deeper, like on the micarta woodlore. Oh yeah...Walnut scales!

The AB has full flat grind. It was a mistake initially but i am actually growing to like it just as much! I think it's nice that i have two different grinds; more to experiment with.

I'll post a pic of the sheaths...(might take me a few years though, my computer is infected with something i think) :roll:

The "magic" paste!

Oh wait....

Here's some of the sheaths. Allan Blade Kydex, Bison Bushcrafter, and NS.

Although kydex isn't that nice to look at AB kydex sheaths are actually extremely practical. With adjustable carry and firesteel (ok, i haven't figured the adjustable carry yet! Im sure it isn't just me!). They are very well made, perhaps i value it equally to leather. But then you come to the Bison sheath, which imo is better. The fit is unbelievable, and as Adi said, the firesteel feels welded in. Very neck-carryable indeed, something which i found impossible with my woodlore.
The NS is just temporary, not sure whats happening with those. Anyone know?

Well, either I got big paws, or you got small uns (perhaps a bit of both?), but the difference is obvious.
