    Made by a friend who surprised me with at the beginning of a hunting trip. He also did the leatherwork. He's one of those clever bastards🙂
    Got to use it same day. Feek it's sharp and holds it's edge.

    His day job is "putting new tyres on horses" �� he just makes them as a hobby to fill in time and keep the forge active. But if he ever decides to hang up the apron he might get a bit more serious about it

    A recently finished Mamba , 1084 steel. G10 bright Orange handles combined with black and blue swirl front section.
    The instructions were pretty clear as they had lost two other knives by putting them down and forgot to pick them up.... it had to be bright and easy to locate.
    This ones heading to the deep south, Burt Munro country.

    John makes some seriously good knives here in NZ from pretty cool materials like old saw blades from timber mills.

    A little Bill Nikl number custom made to a Possum Trappers own spec's, who never came back to pay for it.
    So I bought it cheap. A sweet little knife with 3&1/4" blade.
    The back of the sheath got gnawed on in a rat infested Urewera hut one night ...... gives it a bit of character

    A nice useful little number from Svord. "The Amerikiwi"
    I made 2 sheaths for this knife with its 3&1/2" blade. Which sheath I use depends on the length of the Hikoi.

    Finished this little carbon and stainless San mai kitchen knife for my brother as a gift. Turned out pointy. Nice bit of died burl for the handle.

    Got this as a gift today. Svord. It was the only choice, as the guy who got it for me and myself both used to live just down the road from Bryan Baker.

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

    Can't go wrong with that, if you had to have only one knife, it could be this and your lack of any other knives would not hold you back. What size is the blade on that one?

    I reckon it will do for my lifetime. It's got a 5 3/4" blade. I skinned my first goat with a similar length skinning knife (from my father in law's meatworks days) and it was a great length. Such a good shape too - the point never catches.
