    I know they are good but a hundy bucks for one of those is just a rip off.
    They have been pricey for a while.

    Plenty of them about from 60 plus years ago still functioning like the day they were made, that's a pretty good investment in my books

    After seeing @ROKTOY's shiny new blade at @Pengy's mid winter do I was inspired to make a big hacking type knife. I found an old file and came up with this.

    The handle is burnt Rimu bound with paracord and leather. I have left a slight serration on the blade from the file edge but will see how that goes as I can always grind it out if I don't like it. As is it cuts through rope, flax and bamboo with ease.

    No wonder they are so bloody expensive now.
    This one, a knock off, I got 20 odd years ago for $7.99. I think the real thing had gone up to about $25 by then and I wasn't going to spend that much.

    Seen the Mercators at HF on the weekend for 50 bucks so that's not so bad. I heard from the old bushman neighbour when I was growing up, of the lock back failing when they are past their use by date. Never used mine enough to say
    While I was there I almost threw up in my mouth when I heard the young salesman trying to sell one to an older dude one. He was right in everything he said about the knife and how good it was but kept calling it a muracator. Made it sound like some form of dinosaur.
