Thread: Choosing a knife?

So Dougie let me get this straight. You preferred to watch the chainsaw massacre rather than take a lesson in the finer art of butchery from the gentleman that was your host. I know he is a gentleman as i recall he refused the sleeping bag offer.

Haha, um yeah, I guess so! I'm a bit of a nutcase obviously!! His dad was behind the chainsaw fyi.

Oh I see. So you chose an older man. There is hope for us yet VC. Right now you are obviously too young and cut too dashing a figure.

LOL theres a reason I try to keep my mug of the interweb Rushy

Ha ha ha I understand. The ever present possibility of being recruited as an undercover assassin for the CIA makes us keep our mugs out of the public eye.

Hi Dougie, Hey Im really surprised that that Bahco wasnt a razor out of the box, it should have been?
I would have taken it back.

Just my 2c

RUNAS

Yeah I kinda was surpised too - I have a fair bit of Bahco gear (no knives though obviously) and everything has been awesome. I probably should have taken it back on second thought....the idiot at Bunnings in the tool section (I reckon he WAS a tool..) took quite a bit of persuading to get him to actually talk to me, then when I said "Er do you have the Bahco $16 a'round a'bout price, all purpose knife?" he sort of just chucked one at me, cracked a stupid joke about these are so popular with gang members and then strode off before I could tell him that I was after a few more things that I needed help with. I should have put my steel cap John Bulls right up his ass but he took off too quick.

Bahco probably have to blunt their knives before delivering to Bunnings as customers are inclined to stab the staff with them.

Oh I take that back - I have a Bahco folding pruning saw. Awesome thing.

Jeez I hope your man cuffs you tonight young lady

Hmmm a bit out of line alright

Ended out getting this bad boy! Only $18 bucks off trademe and its very sharp. I guess time will tell how good it is, but I like it so far. Cheers for all the advice!

Second hand I might add

Any thing will do pretty much untill you work out what you want/need in a knife. You will soon find out(hopefully) if it will hold a edge.
No danger of your hand slipping down the blade

I just clicked Dougie you got someone else to sharpen your knife.
