Well, since my first "second" was so nice and easy to repair, I bought another just because they were so inexpensive and usable. However, the second "second" I recieved is probably beyond repair. The wood is separated from the tang and half is actually curved away from the tang and a heavy clamp was not able to pull it back in. It would appear that this one will have to be rehandled somehow. I am not a talent with craftie things!
I will try to work something out this week. Been busy with a company transition and I must do my income taxes soon, that I truly dread

Argh! I wish you hadn't said that! Parcelforce are confirming mine's at the local depot, so I might stand a chance of seeing it in the next few days...
Mine has the status of "Accepted" now, and arrived in the country on the 9th.
But no further info.

Hello All,
Mine arrived on Wed (Ithink), but I only got hold of it last night. And I'm well impressed. It's bigger and sturdier than my other knife, a Helle Harding. In fact it feels really big and solid by comparison.
The handle has a small crack on one side only, and it's so small it took me a few seconds to actually find it. I really can't see it making much difference to my use of the blade. I'll wait a few weeks in case the wood expands a bit, and then maybe use some superglue. The tang protrudes beyond the scales ever so slightly, perhaps due to shrinkage of the scales too. Again, I hope that with a bit of expansion in our damp climate, the scales may expand just that fraction to make the whole handle flush.
All told I'm really happy with it. It's a lovely knife to have delivered to my door for €85 and it's not a knife I would have bought otherwise. I'm hoping to get some cutting done this weekend to see how it works in action.
Cheerio,
M

Looking at the photos, the grind looks slightly hollow. Is this the case or are the pics slightly off?
Mine left the United States from ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) at 12:29 PM on March 12, 2010!
AND I've bought some cheap runny superglue (10 for a £1), in hopeful anticipation of a minor repair (+ve thoughts). Is this too cheap to be suitable?
