When I was in the jungle I used cheap, locally produced kukhri knock off. It cost $5 and worked really well on the bamboo we used to build everything with. It really proved the usefulness of the design to me.

Both of the CRKT James Williams designs have Osoraku tanto points. They are a lot pointier than the more common blunt style.

This has been sitting in my draw for 8 months, now finally with lock down I got it done.
12c27n stainless, hidden tang with rosewood and ebony handle.

Hi Tahr
How do find these Havalon knives to use.
Are they easy to change blades, what do you do with the old ones re storage etc.
Do they break?.
On the yank forums you read horror stories or love them both ends of the spectrum.
Do you have this as your only back up instead of a small folder?.
What life out of a blade and cost?.
Cheers Owen

Hi Owen. Note that my one has a pocket knife blade and a scalpel blade. I find I actually use the standard blade on that Havlon more than the scalpel. I used it to headskin a Fallow recently and used the main blade except for around the eyes and some fine stuff around the coronet.
Changing the blade is really simple. The scalpel blade lasted 100% for that job.
I haven't used it enough to know if they break but it doesn't feel like they will if you are sensible.

Yes, its the 2nd knife that is always in my pack.It wouldn't be if it didn't have the ordinary blade on it as well.

+ 1 for the Havalon. I got a bone saw attachment as was keen to try v-notch gutting method. This will require me to shoot something first...other than paper targets.

Boys loved it on Stewart Is. Very good for skinning deer.

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

Original packaging. New comes out and old goes in.

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.

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).

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.

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.
