Beautiful. My partner just got a Benchmade from his dad for his birthday. I love the leather sheaths eh.

Would like one of yours but it would be blasphemy to put a plastic handle Svord in it!!!

If the bacho brigade can do it then so can you

That havalon looks an interesting blade, small and sharp for skinning

Someone should probably mention Victory Knives too, for about $30 you could get a drop-point with a plastic sheath. I've noticed my Bahco blade tends to chip a bit and, maybe its the way I sharpen it but I can't seem to put a good edge on it in the field. I'd say Victory knives have better steel, I seem to be able to put a better edge on them anyway.

The bahco comes up like a razor when sharpened with ceramic rods

Started to use a Victory knife for field work now, seems darn good. Have a gerber drop point as a spare one for the back pack.Prob get a Bahco and see what the fuss is all about

bahco is good value for money. but i prefer the buck "zipper" . the gut hook is great for skinning

1. First knife bought about 16 yrs ago, trusty ol' Gerber Guthook

2. Got this little ripper from a knife maker in Tauraunga, fantastic on the skinning front...

3. Got the Ken Onion boner/filleter not long ago, a beaut little knife...

4. And for the bigger jobs a set of knives from Shark Knives in Kaitaia.

Quality steel, great blade that maintains its edge, the humble Svord Peasent knife is HARD to beat- made right here in New Zealand(nope I don't work for them)

Hell. What are you comparing the Svord with?
