    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.

    I am looking for a Leatherman 'Supertool' or something similar for my son.
    He likes mine and i reckon it would be a sweet xmas pressy for him.

    Just checking if any of you lot have one sitting around that you might part with?

    Cheers, 40mm

    Could swap primers etc if that helps.
    Use enough gun

    Picked this up today, nothing flash but should do the job. Sheath's a bit cheap, has a pocket for a steel but Svord say not to use steels on their knives. And it has a convex grind which I've never before tried to sharpen. only ever flat and bevel grinds

    thats relative...... dont over steel it.... just enough to restraighten edge...and when getting..not when it IS blunt...get it onto the stone and put that fine feather edge back on.

    This blade has a bit of family history, my Grandma picked it up in Finland, years later she gifted it to my father, it sat in a draw for decades until he gifted it to me on a rare visit back to the UK.
    It's always on my belt when I step out with a rifle on my shoulder

    NZDA are selling these at a discount at the moment. Good every day knife.
