    rob mate you can only say forge if you have forged soemthing , forge is one of those words where it not only means the actual forges heat source , it meand the area where a smith works , its not forged if its been heat treated in a gas forge mate, thats just heat treated ha ha . looks alright that one , looks like the steel burned little on heat treat looking at the tip of it . does it chop well ? looks like one of those little choppers they use for herb cutting , or chinks use to cut up chickens . good stuff mate .

    poor old pat and her husband are both dead, the busines closes 1997 . although there son stuart still makes knives they are leauge apart stuart is a world class maker and only uses the best of anything and he is very very skilled guy .prices starte at about £350 the pat mitchel that paulus showed looked very very differant and the finish was poor and i could never get an edge on it . so i totaly re worked it and now its much much better . they retailed in the £55 to£100 range from what i understand but probably collectable with the history of it , is the sheath horible ? nice gift tho !!

    i have the single shot tactical and love it iv had alot of guns including daystate airwolf etc and i genuinly like the gun . ok i hear you about the cocking system but its not that bad at all , i have a big mtc viper on mine . i had a 10 min walk in flip flops and shorts yesterday and got 3 rabbits no dramas . longest was over 40 yards standing shot . the only complaint would be shot count on them an that is now no longer an issue with regulators etc available. get one i bet you love it .

    ok guys busy week here for me again . lst week mas production this week finnished knives of a slightly higher calibre ! first job of the week socks sent this knife for a refurb . bit of elbow grease and some leather work later . the pitting is permanant so they had to stay where they are as the metal is thin as is , i did a wet form sheath with antique look . then was on to this bushcrafter , its not full sized and would suit a smaller hand, lads/ ladies although it does fit in my hand and is safe , its very sharp and sports my own burl oak handles with brass pins and lanya

    when i trained a s a keeper i was showed how to do it with out a knife using the teeth of the rabbit !! i cant do it tho , ha i know there is an obsession for small knives for rabbits but i like a larger knife capable of more as the situation arise , i want to be able to brest a pigeon , neck gut a deer or skin a fox all from the one feild knife . before i trained as a keeper i did a full aprenticship as a butchers , we bopught from market live and went right through to plate , so maybe its down to that that i like a larger knife ?
