Trevor Ablett knife

[Dave]

Superb white stag scales, brass liners, pins and bolsters, one pruning blade, [great for foraging, or just slicing up your rhubarb!]
one coltsfoot blade. in box, in excellent condition. This was the last one, so good luck finding another.


£40. plus delivery.

 

[Dave]

Reduced to £35 delivered for a quick sale. Its up elsewhere, so snap it up if you want it. Quality is superb. Ridiculously cheap for a custom knife.

 

[Robbi]

could I ask what length the blades are please ?

and

are the blades carbon or stainless ?

 

[Dave]

Blades are carbon Robbi. I think 01, could be 1095. Robust, in comparison, to say, a SAK. Takes a Razor sharp edge very easily, with light stropping.

Sheepsfoot is 72mm, Pruner, 78mm. Pruner is a chisel grind. One cutting edge only.

 

[Dave]

Reduced again to £30 delivered to the wonderful members of the forum.....it cost me £45, plus £7.50 postage....

Come on. Its a no-brainer. Blow the mothballs off the wallet.

 

[Dave]

Still here?! ^^ (raised eyebrows)

Trade you for some leatherwork?

Nuts been sharing homebrew with a good old boy tonight.

I'll take it if uncl boob doesn't.

 

[Dave]

UncleBoobs asked me to hold the knife till payday, but he hasnt told me when payday is....Mmmmmm. Dilemma.

Its SPF to uncle boob, whom I hvae PM'ed, but If no response is forthcoming, by tommorrow lunchtime, its yours Hugh.

Hope this doesnt fall through.....Hope that sounds fair to you Hugh?

 

[British Red]

Fine by me Dave. Shoot me a pm and you will have payment that evening, but uncleboob called it first so I understand if you sell to him

 

[uncleboob]

Morning all! Payday is s couple of weeks, if you are happy to wait till then I'll give it a home- if you need the money ASAP I'm more than happy for you to sell it to red, he'll give it a good home too, it's up to you. Cheers matey j

Good catch Uncleboob. I use an antler Ablett every day and would have saved this one as a backup. Beautiful knives and great work horses.

Thanks red, I've been after one got a while...possibly since you mentioned then sometime ago! I've sold most of my knives now but wanted something a bit more versatile than my old pruner.

Dont use it too much though - on mine I have stained the Antler yellow with sweat and grime, the blade is patinated black and if you look near the ricasso you can see that I have sharpened away a quarter of the blade width!
