oh that sucks :( sorry to hear that. i always just carry a SAK, because then it's at least a multi tool, just in case anyone kicks up a fuss about it.

on the opposite,i remember that it's a french fabric that makes the victorinox corkscrew,i don't know if it's still the case,now.but for this brand of knives theil failed!

Yes, I bought 2 on accident, but the handles are different to the one pictures. Saying that the handles are different in the two i bought :lmao:

Lovely looking knives though :)

What's the joker like? Looks clean and simple.

It comes in a carbon and stainless steel? Any comments on either?

Both mine are carbon, haven't had them long but they seem very strong and sturdy and look lovely :)
Come very sharp and the scales are lovely- but could do with a coat of oil :)

Bought this the other day in Spain, 3" cutting blade with a four inch handle, appears a solid penknife, no loose parts, feels nice in the hand and cheap as chips. :eek:

Just to give you an idea of it's size.

Nice stuff Opal!

I'm looking at getting new folder or two soon and was thinking maybe a British army clasp knife with the blade and can opener and an old fashion knife like the trapper styled ones.

Any ideas where to buy a genuine Brit clasp knife and does anyone know of any decent company that makes the trapper styled knives at an affordable price?

About the british army clasp knife, I'm looking for the non locking version.. seems like all I can find is the locking one.

Even the ray mears website is stocking the lokcing version..

This site any good to you? or is the black handle version the wrong type? http://www.silvermans.co.uk/Product...+KNIFE/ItemId/3714/CurrentPage/0/Default.aspx
I have 2 shown on the previous page of this thread, the rusty looking one I have now cleaned up and it shows a date of 1944.

I recently bought one of each to try and see the difference. Both have nearly cut my finger off (dont use sharps when drunk.... but you need to slice the lemon for a G&T somehow). IMHO both are equally sharp, but Ive not really given them a good run yet. Have been carving some well seasoned ash with the carbon and its remained razor sharp, but it has got some patina markings now as you'd expect (slicing the lemon will have helped bring that on!!).

The "OK" knife in olive wood is the stainless, and the beech is the carbon. Both very pretty, both very sharp. I would highly recommend as and EDC from what they've done so far, but only if you dont value your fingers!!!:lmao:
