paulus 26 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I did but I was bemused by the ambiguity of it lol! quality is often not related to price but mass produced stuff is Quote Link to post
kruby01 114 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 But as you may know with the Mora, its £15 and is a great knife. If I remember rightly I think you (Paulus) recommended it too. I've seen plenty of nice bigger blades well over £200 but I don't want to spend anywhere near that as it will rarely be used. I just want something a bit more substantial should I need to split a couple of small logs or something while out camping rather than carrying a heavy hatchet about on the off chance I might one day need it. I have a spare knife that I take now but its a 3" folding knife so it makes sense to replace that with a bigger one and fill two jobs with one tool and save a fair amount of weight Quote Link to post

kruby01 114 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 They seem to have come down from last time I looked, I've admired midnights knives for a while, some amazing craftsmanship! I think the last one I saw was £120 which from everything I've heard about his work is worth every penny and more but £120 is more than I can afford at the moment, however I like the sound of a midnight knife for £60! I'll be finding his page now Quote Link to post

foresterj 1,096 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 http://www.heinnie.com/glock-field-knife#product-tabs looks a little light in the blade for chopping/batonning etc, have you tried one? Quote Link to post

Used one for splitting pelvis and rib cage on deer and any other heavy task at work holds a good edge is cheap enough to lose and seems indestructible there are some good youtube torture tests on these 1 Quote Link to post
