I bought 4 of them today lol. We do a lot of surf casting on the Coast so I might grab a couple more to cover our bases.

I've had a couple of Frosts for many years, also made in Sweden.. as I remember, purchased in tackle shops for about $7. Easy to sharpen, hold an excellent edge.
Came in a plastic sheath too with belt loop.

Who made the sheaths for you?looking for a decent one myself.

I'm down to the last 4 or 5 left of 20 I bought....tho they were only 10 dollars each then.
Might have to restock.

Bought two laplanders today made in sweden but blunt as fffff but nice sheaf has a key hole type mount for fitting to quad etc , the blunt tip floaters were made in china but had nice fine serrations for ropes .

Be all right if they were 300mm long then a guy wouldnt have to bend down so far taken off back wheels.All right for you short buggers but us tall trees struggle.

That picture is in the idiom dictionary in the " lipstick on a pig" section.

Exactly. The sheath quadruples their value.

Good advice. Although in the case of the Bahco I think a bastard file would be quite appropriate. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/basta...%20very%20fine.

Whats the difference to the new model apart from the sheath and the grooved rubber handle? Ribbed for pleasure?

New model made in China @No.3

Lathe chisels/gouges?

Pretty difficult to cut a hollow grind with an oil stone HJ.

Back on point it’s not hard to change a scandi grind or flat grind to a hollow grind and make them a bit quicker to sharpen.

I use my first gen Scarey Sharp and a selection of stones to sharpen mine

I bought two from farmlands today. they have orange handles but farmlands website have them advertised with green handles and scabbard.
I'd love to get my hands on the bacho 2449 wrecking knife, looks like a good bush knife. Unfortunately no one in NZ sells them.

The listing on their website stating green handles put me off so I grabbed mine elsewhere, unfortunately at a slightly higher price.
