    Saw this in a single conditions hand shop and it seemed to find its way into my pocket. Pretty thing like that couldn't be left alone.... Name: DSC_0198.JPG Views: 823 Size: 1.84 MBName: DSC_0200.JPG Views: 846 Size: 1.69 MB

    It is a seriously heavy little knife, really thick blade and a serious pain to try and get sharp

    I would have liked it to be practical as well... Never used a gut hook before, going by how it couldn't cut through the sides of a paper bag I have my doubts @Gibo I prefer a 20ft pole so I can stay out of trouble. It does look a bit medieval for something to carry every day

    A set I commissioned a while back. Made by Neels Pretorius N690. Had to get a permit for the centre piece.
