@viper this is my ideal shape, dulo knife 80mm blade in k390.

@viper

Here's my first production run Bark River Featherweight hunter which pretty much fits your dimension brief to a T.

178mm overall
82mm blade
2.2mm blade thickness

Very good for for bird and trout and will process deer ok

Firstly in @veitnamcam defense he has the larger version and it's apparently a different colour.
Next @moahunter your sexual taste has clearly during lockdown lead you down some dark and twisted paths, get some help or at least contact Dewalt and see if they do a yellow and black version.

Yes you are correct Viper, it is the lockdown has caused a generalised moral decay and decline into debauchery in my household and I claim that as my defence. For VC to have the Patent, he cannot claim a 'lockdown' defense. Thank you for the suggestion to contact Dewalt yellow and black would suit my bedroom nicely.

You are welcome, don't forget to get a carry case with it ( should cum standard ) very handy for those away trips out of town.

could cause embarrassment on Monday if you sent the boy to grabbing from the tool box to carve out some plug points etc.

Could be a great prank on the boy when other people on site see him whip that out!

Never thought of that...cheers Tahr

The ideal shaped blade is what we all strive for, but the reality is that we use whatever is to hand. This Shrade Old Timer Scrimshaw has been my daily companion for almost 40 years, the blade is completely wrong for dressing animals, and years of keeping it nice and sharp has taken some of the curvature out of the blade. Despite that, this knife has dressed more game than any other knife I have owned except my old Green River skinner that I had when I was pro shooting in the '60s. This old girl keeps a bloody good edge, and the back of the blade has popped literally hundreds of beer bottle tops!

from the look of it and the sheath are you sure you didnt buy it from the late wyatt earps estate .your bottle tops mention -another one of my requirements for a good knife -since ruined me teeth due in part to being a human bottle top remover.
Ive got a genuine camillus us pilots vietnam era survival knife -had it for over 40yrs-and that wee bitch is lethal.bought around 1975 IIRC original sheath(not the metal tipped one)a bit worn with couple of repairs ,but you often see em on TM$300-400 price.
I was debating as to putting it on my ducking webbing or pack but decided nup too good -use one of the others!

I bought the knife new in the US in 1979 and the factory sheath fell to bits after a couple of years so I had Paul Cross of Magnum Leather create this one to my rough design. The pancake style has very strong belt loops and sits nice and tight on my side. I like pancake holsters for the same reason.

is that a rehandled bacho...sneaking into thread in desguise???? the blade shape looks awefully familiar

@gundoc Still got your Green River knife?
They must have been NZ's commonest knifes at one stage .
Ive got a couple that Ive collected etc. Hard to find a good one that isn't worn out or nearly so.
The ones I target are with the ''Green River'' name stamped into the blade, not the later ones which had it somhow printed onto the blade.
