They go blunt fast, got one I've been meaning to sell, been using a Farmlands Mercator copy last couple of years, bought three cause they cost about $12 ea - one sharpen will get through several animals with the odd refresh, they weigh nothing, take up no space and wont slice you when you tip up.

Just gave the old Svord dp an up grade!
Any guess?

Shit that looks nice

Thanks had it since I was 19.
But apart from being shiny and sharp what’s the upgrade?

I'm guessing bolster, handle and liners ?

One of em
The original never had the bolster. So I cut up an old shower valve and made that finger stopper and stuck it onto the end.
Lovely knife but I always felt like my finger where about to slide down the blade
Bloody nearly did a few times while I was doing it
Still fits the original sheath so happy days.

Here’s the shower valve I cut the support out of to use on the knife

In the 45 yrs I have been a Plumber I have never seen shower valve like that

well for starters with that big hole in the back it would leak like a bastard

You can do another couple.

Yep @Gapped axe guess you learn something new every day.

Fairly topical here. When I look at some of the stuff here and compare it to NZ well let’s just say it comes down to economy’s of scale.......

Nice job on the knife


Shit those values are pricey bastards.

Thanks.
Yep that they are, but you can rig them up for all round body jets, that’s what the blanks are for off the sides of the small valves. The main one is for the thermostatic cartridge.
Lime scale killed it only five years old......should have listened and stuck in a water softener.

plurry pleased you didnt cut up a new one at that price...holy smoke Batman that would be expensive knife then LOL.
