    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    I'm testing one of John's knives at the moment. It's in Elmax steel. I'm very impressed. Very well made.
    I'm writing a report that I will put in the gear section.

    If you type custom knives nz into Google you get quite a few names and sites, but just wondering why that particular style? Seems like it would take a lot of steel and therefore be rather pricey, and a machete is for use not for the shelf, may be a better option to get someone to modify a bolo rather than make one from scratch...
