    Great Knife

    Posted by Al on 13th Oct 2017

    Very patient and helpful customer service (kept changing my mind ). and still sorted the order which was delivered on time. Have put off buying one of these for ages.; thought it was expensive!! Mistake! Most of its assets have already been discussed ; it is a well made lovely looking knife with a good sheath (with a drain hole! )to use or for a collector. Sharp OTB ,good in the hand.and not too heavy,and worth the cost. I have the serrated version and look forward to using it in the garden for lighter tasks, ( not too light)alongside my hefty nowill knife.

    Does for venison

    Posted by The Hebridean on 10th May 2016

    I bought this knife from HH about 5 years now and it has become my main knife for cleaning up venison. The carbon steel blade does NOT disappoint in terms of quality of construction or ease of use. The partially serrated blade is very usefull and easily seperates sinew from tissue and bone and cuts steak with the gratest of ease. But that is what this blade was designed for (just not a four legged animal in mind). It holds an edge really well andcan be shapened with just a few strokes of a diamond rod etc. I have even thrownit in the dishwasher a few times toclean it up with good results. Yes arbon steel is prone to rust but the blade coating helps tremendously with preventing that. I have also used thisknife while beach combing for cutting rope and net plastic strapping etc and it does what it is supposed to with minimal fuss. I havent used it for battoning wood but then I havent needed to batton wood with it. If I lost it I'd get annother.

    Excellent

    Posted by Will on 28th Apr 2016

    I've had this knife for about 6 months now and I think it's about time I reviewed it. I bought this mainly as an archery knife but I have used it as so much more. A lot of the time it was just used to dig arrows out of logs, trees and stumps. But, because i loved the feel of it and knew it could do so much more, I found myself using it more and more for random tasks. Whenever i would go into the woods, go camping or down to the farm, i would just put this on my belt and use it for whatever you'd need a knife for. Since then it has dug through pheasant feeders, gutted, skinned and jointed rabbits, taken the breasts off of birds, chopped branches off of both dead and alive trees to make shelter and get firewood. It has then proceeded to strip those branches of twigs and bark. It chops through logs and small trees quite well. It can also baton through logs, which i have done up to 3". But, i would not reccomend this because it is not only a stick tang, it is a 90° angle transitiom between the thick and thin part of the tang which isn't as strong as it could be. i wouldn't trust it to hold up to excessive batoning. If you have to baton with it i would stick to 2" logs to an absolute maximum. I have carved and whittled with this, everything from tent pegs to spoons. I have used it to eat with, as well as cut up veggies and meat for the pot. I also have carved meat. After all of this all I've ever needed to do it strop it and give it a light touch up- in 6 months!! This knife was worth every penny. It is a very capable knife as i hope ive displayed!
