stick or full tang???

[Tony]

i'm not sure how to put the video up, i'll e-mail it to anyone who knows how to put it up

We can put it up in the New Year. Stuart, can you get it edited and reformatted into something a bit smaller in size as downloading meg's worth is going to be a pain for all.

 

[Martyn]

if you send it to me I'll reformat it into a real media video clip - I think the compression/quality algorythms are probably the best of the streaming media types.

:wave: :biggthump

 

[Stuart]

ok i'll mail it out to tony and martyn in the new year

 

[Stuart]

OK the videos are on a CD

Could you PM me your address martyn and i'll send it out to you

 

[Stuart]

Ok martyn you should have the CD by now, What do you think??

 

[Martyn]

Certainly have Stu, It arrived yesterday - just need to get the right video codec to convert it from apple to rm. I'll do it sometime over the next day or two.

What did I think - blinkin impressive mate.

You gave that knife a serious bashing and the vid clearly shows (presumably you) jumping up and down on the handle. I think everyone will see that it passes the test with flying colours. :-D :biggthump

Hi...

Stick tang.........!!

Because it's more beautiful with a conceiled tang and the scales on some knives can go loose. I've never seen a stick tang go loose. It's also better for chopping, cause the weight's in front and not in the handle. IMO.

Take a look at this thread:

Notice how the knife is full tang but that the tang is wrapped in wood. Nice!

Both links seem to be malformed and don't work.

I had a poke around the site but couldn't find any reference to them.
