skycat 6,173 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 if you loose them , go with a stanley knife with retractable blade its what i used to use as a kid , butcher use them to for scring the rine on pork to make perfect cracling !! sorry guiys i just cant price match the cheap production knives ! You shouldn't apologise for selling quality, hand crafted knives: it is just good to see so many people appreciating the work and creativity that goes into making these fine works of art. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,775 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm in the market for a 5-6" fixed blade knife. Idealy something that can be used with a pouch type sheath instead of the sheaths with retaining straps so any sort of protruding finger guard would be a problem. Just seen this thread, I like your work and the reviews seem positive. Do/will you have anything like this in production and if so what price would I be looking at. I would like to fit a handle myself but would be looking for someone to sheath it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
