Wilkinson sword dartmoor knife

[AntoninoRusso123]

Has any one ordered the wilki sword knife yet?

I'v just ordered mine, and I know there a bit expensive, but they are a good looking knife. Not too sure if its going to get used or just end up as a collectors piece.
Only time and desire to try it out will decide in the end.

??? What knife? As far as I know Wilkinson Sword no longer make knives and have not done so for a couple of years. Is there something I don't know?

Tony has a few dartmoor knives for sale in the BCUK shop.

LInk here.

they're stock that was sold off when the factory shut down in 05 (i think it was 05) everything suddenly just ceased and these are some of that stock. There's unground blades through to boxed finished knives.

i found a couple of wilkinson blades what with dealing with the trade for outdoors gear.
my gunsmith made a very nice knife and then we got a local saddlery to make a nice leather sheath for it.
will get a pic and post it on here shortly

That is the fastest 2nd class delivery in history, cheers Tony. ordered on thursday night delivered on saturaday morning, well pleased.

But I discovered one problem, the blade has as much cutting potential as butter. it took four hours to get that razors edge finish. Mind you all knives designed for HRH Queen Liz's finest had the bluntest blades ever. I remember spending countless hours sharpening those damn tree beaters. She must have thaught we would all cut off our own fingers if the blades were sharp to start with.

Sorry Ma'am.

Can I ave my QGC now?
