Tahr (bless him) has sorted this (and we all know he is the knife guru) so thanks very much for the suggestions etc.
As for you buggers giving cheek etc, the boy's Grandfather (on the West Coast) is about 80 and still building, he was also a very good shearer, part of a gang who set a record that stood for more than 20 years. The point being young Sam is likely to grow (eventually) into a strapping young man, and I'd bet none of you would give him cheek then !!
Cheers
