othickman 6 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Just a quick thing: anyone wanting a fixed blade knife, I seriously advise you to spend a mere £10 on one of the above. It is amazing!! Sharp enough to shave with (which I did) and this is straight out of the box!! Although the plastic sheath that came with it is complete and utter crap, it will come in use when the knife is in a backpack as opposed to to my belt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm off into the Belize/Guatamalan jungle with work for a month very soon , just bought one of these as a spare for my belt kit , it looks pretty good , have to see how it holds up as the jungle usually wrecks everything .

othickman 6 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah, that's the one I got at the mgf for £10, well worth it. By the way Blacksheep, how much does a trip cost if you manage to go every three months? Or if it's entirely funded by your employee, what line of work are you in??

Especially this time of year - i reckon anyone who can drive through those jungle tracks during the rainy season can drive anywhere, especially with those knackered old landies they use there ps the clipper is a very good blade for the price - plus the stainless one wont rust out in belize Edited September 24, 2009 by jordang Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan 1,363 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 the plastic sheath is so it can be washed in a dish washer, to keep it clean for working on meat your going to eat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really? How does that work then...the sheath isn't watertight but nonetheless I would doubt a dishwasher would clean it with the sheath on ... ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
