Be all right if they were 300mm long then a guy wouldnt have to bend down so far taken off back wheels.All right for you short buggers but us tall trees struggle.

Whats the difference to the new model apart from the sheath and the grooved rubber handle? Ribbed for pleasure?

Exactly. The sheath quadruples their value.

I've had a couple of Frosts for many years, also made in Sweden.. as I remember, purchased in tackle shops for about $7. Easy to sharpen, hold an excellent edge.
Came in a plastic sheath too with belt loop.

I'm down to the last 4 or 5 left of 20 I bought....tho they were only 10 dollars each then.
Might have to restock.

Bought two laplanders today made in sweden but blunt as fffff but nice sheaf has a key hole type mount for fitting to quad etc , the blunt tip floaters were made in china but had nice fine serrations for ropes .

I use my first gen Scarey Sharp and a selection of stones to sharpen mine

I bought two from farmlands today. they have orange handles but farmlands website have them advertised with green handles and scabbard.
I'd love to get my hands on the bacho 2449 wrecking knife, looks like a good bush knife. Unfortunately no one in NZ sells them.

The listing on their website stating green handles put me off so I grabbed mine elsewhere, unfortunately at a slightly higher price.
