RicW 67 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I have had a new knife made for me from my own design,it has been made primarily for stalking as a bit of an alrounder(gralloch/skinner)it has just been christened on a Buck this evening,and,it coped admirably with the gralloch.It has an 01 tool steel blade,and,as such it will hold a razor sharp edge for ages,and,will be easy to freshen up.The only downside to 01 tool steel is that you have to look after it alot more than the stainless stuff,as it will rust if you don't oil it when not in use,and,you must never leave the knife in the sheath either as leather draws in moisture.The sheath is a 'dangler' type,and,although I was unsure about that at first,it is a perfect job,and,doesn't get in the way,I also had a popper put on the side to hold the blade in,and,I have had it put on the back as well so it doesn't get caught on a branch and open it up and lose the knife.Anyway,here it is.............. Martin. I worked in the shoe trade for 10 years. I know when I see classy leatherwork as well! Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
