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..

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.Quote:

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.

Simple bunka/chefs for a friend's 40th.
Nitro-V and stabilized swamp Kauri.
Went a simple classic kiwi knife theme on this one. Love the swamp kauri, these blocks came from a reasonably young one at approx 11,000 years old. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...84e146fdcd.jpg

Another stabilised Amboyna burl handle in a Jack, with lanyard to assist getting out of full length sheath, steel is K110. Currently making a lot of these, everything is for sale but most will more than likely be going offshore.

Getting close to a Kephart blade shape..... maybe the old guy knew something.
