Yep and stay sharp forever, my fingers can attest to that on a cold day when I'm trying to open the blade out.

I gave myself an awful doing as a kid when I let a swiss fold with my fingers in the way of the blade!

I was much more careful with folders after that!;)

Nice to be back lads .... at least in virtual form anyway

No! not doing any heat treating at the moment but I have a batch of stuff going out for heat treatment next month if you want to add your bit to the pile.

What you trying to do leather wise? maybe I can help with advice etc.??

I'm strongly thinking of getting one, its that or the Ozzie Knife,as she is beautiful

Be carefull here mate ..... The steel will not be the greatest, 440c at best .... generally these kits are of pakistan origin and you will have real trouble with fit and finish and your skill level will be well tested.. Also I buy quite a lot of stuff from this company and the owner Denis is a friend .... the shipping charges though, can be fairly high, so unless youre buying a fair quantity of material it may not be worth the bother. That said Denis is a good guy with a very dependable service.

And if questioned by the Authoratays, all you have to do is wrap a couple of sacks around your knees and say you're going topping beet.

Cant go snagging beet, sure didnt they close the factories down, may tell them its for the turnips.

I asked for one for my Birthday in a few weeks.

I have a cheapo imitation as is and it can be used from machete to hack through bushes, an Axe to chop a few branches off to use to drag a deer or even skinning a deer if needs be!

Well seeing as I don't have a 9mm, and it is a hunting Knife and I am a registered deer stalker I can see no problem.

Bringing it around with you in a shopping centre/work/school/college now that is a horse of a different colour altogether !

Very like the knife Crocodile Dundee produced when being mugged.

So do you make them from scratch or is that not economical?
I'm unsure if you are saying that company is ok or not??
