    No good for cutting, but I’d be able to beat the piss out of something with it.

    The top one is a real old design called a "Dadley". The serrations on the back aren't sharp and were used for fleshing hides. 3V steel
    Middle one is a "Wolf River", BR's version of a green river skinner. Its a wonderful knife. S35VN steel
    The bottom knife is an Aurora Hunter. Quite a big knife but cuts like a demon. 3V steel

    Ive got about 25 Bark River knives.

    Unbeknown to me she ordered me one. Arrived today. (what a darling, always thinking of her man)

    NZ$24.19 to our door.

    The make is PEGASI.....well, that's got to be up there with gucci.......surely.

    Anyway, looks reasonable, fits the hand well and looks to be made from stainless steel. Weighs 245 grams on its own.

    Look forward to using it and will report back.

    Cheers
    Phil
    The Chinese make some pretty good steels. Even their cheap stuff is good for day to day work.

    With the virus I have had plenty of time standing in front of the grinder. Fresh batch of Mamba's , Copperheads and Boomslang's all ground and about to head off for heat treatment.

    Perfect shape for a hunting knife IMO.

    Yeah. And all sorts. The Pegasi brand uses 9CR18Mov too and thats a good at least average stainless.

    Clean them up. It’ll be rewarding to give them a spruce up.
    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
