    Real or fake, not my thing. I'd use them as a dive knife though. At $7, you can afford to lose one.

    Worthwhile though if the change in steel that has been mentioned is the difference between the Euro and Chinese versions. The Euro one is actually a bloody good knife - at any price but at less than $20 you can't go wrong. I do like the custom and handmade versions I see on here that are a very similar blade profile, but at the cost of around 8 Bahco's or more my pocket doesn't step up to the custom level (I can almost treat the Bahco as a disposable at that money). I have a Green River, a Duel, and a few other 'fanboi' brands but the Bahco just does.

    Just bringing this up to date. The Bahco knives made in Sweden are no longer, Mitre10 Nelson had 4 left today and they came home with me when I clocked out. These are now a dropped line and we cannot get anymore of them.

    That's nothing to be happy about Jack.
    I think Farmlands were selling them as well for a while. The handsaws were bloody good value for a while as well. You could get them about 8 bucks on special and were great for splitting sheep.

    Billbob has one now,dropped one off for him today,one of the Swedish ones too. I already have two others and it's good to pass one on as my first one came from expoacher off the old forum.

    I'm not happy about it, just putting it out there and they are destined for somebody else.
