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:o 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.
Ah its an off shore product, no wonder.
Now most expensive sword ever :thumbsup:Quote:

@The bomb the little diamond paddles work pretty sweet. Can strop to straighten the edge or actually sharpen with them whereas a steel will only strop it won't bring back a dulled edge, only a rolled oneQuote:

Old thread but interesting to see some anti-Svord comments from Brads etc. I think it’s bollocks personally, I love my General Purpose. I carry a Dianova lapstone in the sheath (perfect fit, won’t fall out) and just give the knife a wee wipe between animals, it just does the bizzo all day long. I don’t care about the tarnishing of the carbon steel, I just clean it and oil it at the end of a trip and put it back in my bag.

Gotta agree with you mate, my old peasant did the buisness like a surgeon scalpel the other day and a quick touch up when I got home was all it needed after gutting and quatering a red deer.Quote:

Nothing tells a story like good carbon steel though
