mole trapper 1,693 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 My bar, I've made probably forty to fifty percent of my living the last fifteen years or so using this bar, if I ever lost it I would be inconsolable, it's an extension of my soul. Cutting instruments I change occasionally, this knife though has been my tool of choice now for about eight years, not bad for a cheaply axminster tools jobby. 1 Quote Link to post

mole trapper 1,693 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh yes, she's a beauty! Bought it from a company John lill was/is involved with, he's the guy maff had for trapping, coypu for example, I did some basic pesty qualifications with him. The probe used to have squared off sides and be maybe 5ml thicker, the granite in the soil and hundreds of thousands of dibs have worn it down. 1 Quote Link to post

Nah, she's not stainless , couple of times I've not wiped her down end of the day and she's been completely rusted in the morning.I am quite ritualistic about wiping with the towel even between sets let alone jobs, shiny! Mmmm Quote Link to post

Steve Albano 21 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 That looks like a Japanese made hori hori, we used to use those. No need for stainless if you're using them every day, never a chance for any rust to build up. Quote Link to post

Damned if I can remember the name of the company, they are farmers really over in Cambridgeshire if I remember correctly. Not directly related, but a couple of your traps sorted out a tricky garden job again today in a very sandy set where the only suitable place was under some slabs. Quote Link to post
