    Different steel, different handle material, different weight, different length and thickness, just compare with the Blademaster specs.
    But if it cuts and performs alright, why not?
    If it’s too good to be true..

    Or you can stay within 300 yards and keep life a lot simpler.

    Good advice there, thanks. It certainly cuts ok, and for the money I'm not going to cry, how it holds an edge remains to be seen. I'll do the weighing tomorrow. The handle feels feels good and it has decent heft.
    If you have a garden and a library, you have all you need. Oh, and a dog, and a rifle

    Here is a shot of the progression of Jack, there are a few missing as hunters have them that were my testers and today a hunter dropped in to get me to sharpen his (still covered in Blood)which he has had several years now and it’s done a lot of deer and pigs, the evolution is from bottom up to the new version at the top. What I love about this is the knife has a story and history regarding the design, steel choice and development based in NZ and born on a shitty evening in a hut.
