What a lovely looking knife, good work Elma, it really has presence. Lovely lines, different from the run of the mill but not too radical. If it was 3mm thick and 1 cm shorter i'd snap it up! I do think your selling yourself short at this price though, it'll be gone before you know it!

Yes cheers for that!

Used it for an afternoon, the handle was much too small and I got a couple of blisters.

I did start the auction at 99p, and didn't expect it too reach what it has.

Before I get lampooned but the holier than thou brigade, I shall be giving the difference between the price I paid, and the final price on ebay to the British Diabetic Assocation.

Nice knife, but it wasn't suited to my big hands.

Cheers.

No, you misunderstand. It's a pity that it was not suited to your hands, i know you were keen on it, i'm just saying that it must be disappointing that it did not fit you. It's a handsome piece of kit and if i caused offence, it was not intended:eek: . I am familiar with the 'want it so much it hurts' turning into 'really really want it to fit, but no matter how hard i try, it just won't'. So, just to clarify, it's a pity that it's not quite what you wanted. At the end of the day, it's your's and you'll do with it what you wish. Please do not think i'm buffing my halo as i write this.:)

I wanted that aswell but Ian said somebody had just beaten me to it. Did it feel as good as it looked ??? Shame it was a bit on the small side.

Sorry for misunderstanding you.


No offence to elma, it is a lovely knife and I was thrilled to get it. Its just i'm 6ft 4 with massive hands and the handle was on the thin side, I had to wrap my fingers round it to get a good grip, so much so that my finger nails where rubbing into my palm! Like I said, a great knife just not for me :(

In retrospect, I should have offered it too shewie. But employing twisted logic I didn't want to cause offence to elma, by buying a knife of him and then trying to flog it on the forum the same day.:eek:

I don't think i'll be buying any more knives without trying them in the hand first :(

Can't believe that the bid on it on though?

Hello guys,

Just checked ebay and it got removed, for keyword spamming woops!:rolleyes:

So if anybody wants it, for £70 including postage.

PM me, if not back on evil bay it goes.

Cheers,

Never mind what the spamming thing is - go for the knife while you have the oportunity!
You will not find one of that beauty at that price again - at least not soon!
Save the blade from Evil Bay!
Let me fondle it when you come canoeing!
SAVE THE BLADE!
