How do you store your blunt blades, in original packet or the orange container.

That combo knife of mine has a lock on it so the scalpel cant open without being unlocked. Keeps it safe if say its loose in your pocket or pack. Imagine it opening and you sticking your hand in your pack to get something. Ouch.

Original packaging. New comes out and old goes in.

New filleting knife. Looking forward to giving it a test run. Just need to get out and catch something.
I will replace the handle with some nicer wood at some stage (maybe some plum I have got drying).

That's an Interesting lookng beast. I'm guessing it's some sort of traditional design?

Yeah. I have seen a few videos now of these being used so was interested to try one.

Yeah interesting. I use a deba for most of my filleting (one on the right). They make for super clean fillets cuts. Single bevel and get scary sharp

You'll work it out but as they make the initial cut with the belly rather than the tip they don't work as well on large scaled fish like snapper or kahawai. Work sweet on finer scaled fish like greenbone or kingy.

AK-47 CCCP. knife thats been around the middle east for a few decades.Been under a truck drivers seat for many yrs.Met that driver in chch dueing the rebuild.Took him on a couple of hunting trips around North Canterbury and he gave me this knife.Stays very sharp,good for a tall person dealing to a deer,with my long arm,its got a long reach down thru the old deer.I did take it to the local cop shop,ask him if it was legal,he said yes,but if i seen it in a pub some where,id be having a serius talk to whoever had it.He thort it would be a good hunting knife.

What's the ring on the top? Looks like an aperture sight?

Yep locks into a AK47,rod under barrel thru ring i think.Russian made for russian AK47s

Just watched yr vid,interesting.
In Alaskan tv show,guy with wife n 4 daughters.When they shoot 3 or 4 caribou.Wife cuts up caribou with knife same as yr fish filter,but with no handle.Just holds back of big blade.She will cut up 3 or 4 caribou this way.And she is very good at it.

@Shearer, definitely an interesting blade. Had never seen anything like that before, but the guy in that video made clean work of that salmon. Looking forward to reports of how your one go. Nice work!

Thanks @Pixie Z. Not my work though. This is a bought one.

I put a couple of Reindyr antler grips on some fairly old blades this afternoon.
