Blades

[hootie]

Planettrout there are quite a few Randall dealers who recieve knives on a monthly basis and the price is higher than the cost from RMK but getting the blade without waiting 5 years is worth the extra cost.

Crikey you guys live in a different world to us!!

We can only carry a blade of under 3 inches in length and you have to be going about some form of activity that requires it or you could land yourself in trouble with the law.

So I can take my Leatherman Skeletool fishing but by law nowhere else, not that I need to to be honest. Still, it does the job nicely when fishing and the partially serrated blade goes beautifully through a thumb and thumbnail... :oops:

Very true... oddly, I've sent plenty of "big" knives to buddies over there. This one is a good example...

You ought to check out the Spyderco UKPK - It's basically a Caly 3 that is a slipjoint rather than locking, made specifically to be legal in the UK...

I realize this thread is a few years old...but it is new to me.
I really like the Gerber Obsidian with the serrated blade. at close to 5 oz it is a bit heavy, but for a day to day pocket knife it has been very reliable.

Some good folks in the country of my ancestors hooked me up this week in an incredible gesture... The knife and a wardrobe... They even sent Fallkniven band-aids!

[hootie]

Beautiful knife you got there Gus,I have always admired those Fallknivens even though I never knew how to pronounce it until a recent thread over at Bladeforums.com where the owners of the company posted.

I have recently got to know and admire a guy named Ethan Becker and can recommed Becker Knife and Tool knives which are made by Kabar in thier Olean,NY factory.They are made from 1095crovan steel and are backed by one of the best warranties in the business.I also have an ESEE 3 and an ESEE 4 and they are made in Idaho by Sean Rowen of straight 1095 and are very good knives with an unconditional warranty.

Cool Beckers and Randalls!

Awesome I'm still headed for a E S Junglas, badass tool. It will go well with my pursuit.

Gus, I love that blade, it is sweet.


Just a great grind on it.


This and the "Shooters" thread have my interest.


Spring has sprung, I'm waking up.
