Thread: Bahco Knives

For the price of the Ganzo you can get a Victory 4" drop point hunter; (no sheath though. It's a great wee knife

Just caught up wiht this thread a couple of days ago, I use my old bahco all the time and it'd be a shame to have no access to them in future. In Farmlands Hastings today and picked up 10 of them, they've still got 30 left. Also a lot of the ne Chinese ones, these are plastic wrapped so I could not look at quality but bringing 10 Swedish knives home I should not need to worry about the Chincese quality for many years to come.

I now have a few spares on the shelf thanks to a friendly forum member.

Got 2 from twiggs petone today $12.82 for the trades knife and $19.39 + gst for the green handled laplander both swedes . They had about 50 tradies and 30 laplanders in stock .

My brother in-law got a couple in New Plymouth yes, he is very impressed with them

Couldn't help myself and just bought another 6 from GH in ChCh. For those interested they have about a pallet of the Swedish knives so ain't gonna run out anytime soon.

Only thing I'd like to see with these knives is an orange cork/foam handle so the knife floats - they make an excellent dive knife, but they sink.
Come to think of it, might be fun to strip the handle off and try that

I have bought a Swedish one last weekend at placemaker in Hamilton. Quite a few left.

Silly question. How do you quickly tell the difference between the Swedish and chinese ones? Are they marked as such?

@csmiffy The Chinese ones are individually plastic shrink wrapped

Got a couple of those with plastic sheaths.....same colour as the knife handle. Bought them 'cos they are a super light option, but have found they don't hold an edge long.

@csmiffy yes they are marked with place of manufacture. It would be amusing if after all this hassle we were to find out the chinese ones are better!

@The bomb, it was placemaker in town

@Maxx That's strange; I've had a great run out of them. Cheers
