@Micky Duck I believe they are still called the "Bushmen's Friend" by one of the companies that make them. I went in to buy a couple more Bacho's but shop is shut all weekend and all of next weekend too.

@Three O'Three I mail ordered my Bahcos from Henrys (link above)

@The bomb. The shop I bought my first one from is only 15mins from work, just getting there within their business hours is the problem

That's right; it was too!

@Micky Duck Now you've got me hankering after another Bushman's Friend knife.... Will go well together when hunting with the old 303... Memo to self "I don't need another knife, I don't need another knife, I don't need another knife..... "

Not a model I make very often but one of my favorites, A Copperhead model, I enjoy the simple lines on this model.
Honeycomb handles that have different colors in them as you move the knife , G10 bolsters liners and pins . Satin finish stainless blade.

Quite possibly your most beautiful hunting knife to date

That is simply stunning.

well happy jack.....the knifecut version of the bushmans fried...called a rabbiters knife does come with sheath and steel.

Thought victory and the mob that makes the nz green river knives were in cahoots?

I've seen the Victory one advertised with the sheath and steel in shops; not directly from Victory though

My Wee Necker,

My first custom bought 16 years ago from US. Markings of the maker is gone and for the life of me I just can't remember who was it and what steel was used, someone on the Bladeforums. Used it for some kitchen/camp jobs then I kind of forgot about it. Still razor sharp, sheath is getting a bit frail. Size is 2.5inches blade and 2.5 inches handle (Some kind of Micarta). In need of some TLC.

Survival knife, never used in field yet because the weight. Good steel though
