Guest Rabbiteer Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Right, Due to the currant change in my personal circumstances im more in need of a good solicitor than a good knife. About 5months ago I commissioned a knife to be made by SWC Handmade Knives for myself that I could keep and use for a lifetime, and then hand down to my son. I paid over £225 for it and received it this morning. It isnt just a knife, as I do many other activities in the course of my work so I went for the whole bushcraft package. The knife itself.................comes with Ivory CORIAN handles. This was so it wouldnt twist or swell in changes in temp. I chose Ivory so that it would have a better chance of being found if dropped in thick cover. Handmade and comes with a test certificate. It is razor sharp and can easily shave myself with it. With a matching black leather lanyard. The blade shape is based on the famous Ray Mears design. The blade is 4.5inches long, and the whole knife is less than 9inches in total. The firesteel............has an extra long handle of matching Ivory Corian. The long handle was asked for so in colder weathers if your/my hands are starting to suffer it is easier to maintain a steady grip of the steel to produce some good 3000 degree sparks for fire lighting. With a matching black leather lanyard. The sharpening stone...........is an Arkansas Sharpening stone. It is one from work that we use to sharpen our surgical knives with for skin grafting. Is absolutly of the highest order/spec. The stone was sent to the knife maker and the pouch on the sheath was built around it. The sheath is a righthanded model made from the toughest leather and dyed black. Even though it is right handed, lefties will be able to easily use it too. It can be belt worn or with the right attachments can be worn lower on the thigh. It would be ideal for the outdoors man who does many activities like myself. I dont want £225 for it as I know it is un-likely to sell for that. If you think that you like it and would be interested in this wonderful working knife please PM me. Im not going to start people bidding off against each other but I will genuinely consider ANY 3 figure number. First cum first served. Kind regards, Rabbiteer Link to post Share on other sites

Coney 3 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 That's some serious kit...never seen the like!!..good luck with the sale. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rabbiteer Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thankyou guys for all the interest in the knife. I have had seven PM's for it now. Each of you have been told the exact same price and postage. The first person to reply and ask for the knife to be reserved for them will have 3 days to then politly cough up. If this fails to happen I will then re-advertise it and so on. I can not think of any fairer way than that. First cum, first served............. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rabbiteer Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 May I say thanks to all of the people who showed an interest in the knife. Cheshire Poacher was the first to kindly ask to buy it. First cum, first served Kind regards, Rabbiteer Link to post Share on other sites
