    My mate bought this back from Zim for me, he nearly shat himself when I used it to open a bottle so now it sits on display only. I'm too afraid to use it, or lose it, and its too pretty, I have other knifes for everyday use, including opening bottles of beer

    Uggh, how do I make the image bigger???

    So I decided it was time to add a nice stainless blade to my hunting kit.
    I've been using a Karesuando Boar in carbon steel and I like it a lot, but it does rust easily if it gets damp.
    This arrived in the post today and I'm looking forward to getting it covered in blood!

    Nice. The C-tec is grippy and durable. Elmax is a great steel for holding its edge. Don't be tempted to take to it with a stone and thin it down too much or it will chip. The convex edge doesn't need to be thin to cut.

    Incredible craftsmanship John. How long have you been plying the trade?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
