    George Henry often have them on special. They're on now for $12 incl GST. I bought half a dozen for me and a few others a while back

    My first hunting knife was a Green River outdoors knife. Victory do a copy of it. There knives are really cheap if you buy direct. Saves about $10 a knife, Overnight delivery too!

    @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.

    @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

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @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

    I assume none of these come with a sheath as standard? Except of course the Bahco.
