I ordered mine on Monday and recieved it Thursday :) It helps to be 800 miles from the manufacturers headquarters!

The handles are fantastic looking wood but there was one large crack on each side and a few shorter ones as well. I filled mine with runny super glue and powdered that with baking powder. The baking powder makes the super glue cure instantly, mind your fingers!

The cured with baking powder super glue drys as hard as a rock and is hard to sand/polish. I have mine all done and polished out. I applied some Formby's Tung Oil and waiting on that to set up. I am oh so tempted to order another, you can never have too many blades :pokenest:

Thank you again for the heads up Jonathan!!

I'd be cautious using baking powder, this used to be a very fashionable filler for model aircraft, but after about five years horror stories started emerging of those (now five year old) models that had a very nasty mess where the super glue/baking powder mix was breaking down into a gooey mess.

YMMV.

Mine is on the way. I feel the need to do a stantard double dangler with FS loop to go with it......

I'll do a couple for makers market.

I'm confused as to why anybody would want to buy a defective knife for any price when you could spend the same money and get a decent knife from a British Maker and keep our cottage industries alive. It is O1 steel, so nothing special, and what is that ridiculous hole about?
