Guest Mac Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Anybody got opinions on knives (pocket/handy-sized), personal fav's etc as the title says, a good all-rounder ? Just interested. ( I know what your opinion will be to that chilli, keep it to yer self :11:) Quote Link to post
Stabs 3 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I've got a Victorinox multi-tool which goes everywhere with me and that's got two good blades, one slightly serrated. They keep a good edge and I've caped out a few foxes with that one. I don't know how much they are over here as I got mine on the continent but they'd be similar to a Gerber or Leatherman I suppose. I also keep a Victorinox Swiss Champion handy. As for a fixed blade I bought a Cudeman last year and it's been good http://www.cutlerytogo.com/cudemanofspain.html I did use a Smith and Wesson (silver, part serrated, 2nd from left top row) http://worldwideknives.com/smithandwesson/sw1.html and that was good until I tried to cut acrylic glass with it :11: Quote Link to post

Trawling through eBay there, seems to be a shit-load to choose from. Bought a wee handy one on there few months back , very similar to that Smith and Wesson not to bad. Quote Link to post

Kye 77 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I dont know if you lads can get them back home, but the ONLY knife company i would get knifes from now is Cold Steel...they are the BEST. I butchered a WHOLE elk with a Mini Bushman, and they sell all kinds of stuff, spears, swords, tomahawks, knifes etc. I got all my mates onto them over here and thats all they will use know. The Bushman and the Mini Bushman are great...they cost rough between 5-15 quid, and if you break it, send it back and you will get another free!...they sound crap at that price, but they are amazing! Kye.. Quote Link to post
