I've always meant to get myself one of those Opinels. I'm going to add it to my list in a minute and make a point of getting one. I like your idea of a food knife John.

Thought the pattern of the pins seemed familiar. After I read your post I went and had a look at mine. I got the same pattern from Texas Knife supplies so it would seem :). I haven't made a knife in...

What steel and which mosaic pin pattern, or did you make your own mosaic pins?


Mick

That's a great looking little knife mate. Love it!

I have something similar to that husky. My old supervisor found it and gave it to me. Needed a little fixing. So I fixed it and have used it just as much as my old 100000 blade Swiss army knife. Id...

Didn't know Peasants were allowed to carry Svords ;).

Dunno! Maybe they should just offer a slight discount and send them straight to the purchaser to assemble. Not that bloody hard to put a knife together from a kit. :)


Mick

Hitting it with a hammer ;).

Damn it, don't give me TaPAD now!


I bought an Old Timer Bear Claw lock knife at Walmart...Actually I bought two of those, a Buck of similar size and three Stockman pocket knives...I carried one...

Not wrong!

That is what was scathingly called 'The Flick Trick' by the old knife club. Customs apply it "rigorously" to see if the knife will open. If it does, it fails and is classified as a 'flick' knife.

...

They've simplified things here in recent years. Anything that can be opened one handed is defined as a 'Flick' knife and comes under the realm of illegal. Yet with an M (martial arts) class weapons...

That's a bit confusing. They are, or aren't legal? Legality of an item usually makes no difference to whether or not you can legally own something or not. You just need to know which T's to cross and...

From the Mikov website. They do a range of knives if I remember correctly. I just pulled up their site here is the link.


Mikov knives

A Czech Mikov with cocobolo scales. It was a kit knife. I had to shape and pin it all together myself and put an edge on the blade as they come with no edge whatsoever.


Mick

You mean one like this? One of my favourites too.

I will one day buy myself a Laguiole. A beautiful pocketknife in my opinion. A nice Peasant style of knife. :)


Mick

Love that one right there. A great looking little knife!

Nah. He's never home. He's a mining magnate like you Ed. :)

Come to the land of OZ LX. Our family car is a 4WD...And you can make knives here, and I can come around and see them if you buy the house two doors down from me that, lo and behold, is currently up...

Oh you heathen! Burn thee at the stake! You blaspheme! Just another knife indeed. One can never have enough knives! :)


Mick

I also favour the one handed openers. I can open my big Old Timer lockback one handed, but not safely with gloves on, and when I'm on the farm I usually have gloves on, so for me I like my CRKT...

I've got somewhat more than 10...:)


Mick

Google it mate, you might find it interesting reading. I have the information around here somewhere, but it eludes me at the moment, and I don't want to give you information that might be wrong in...

Fragalot do you know the story behind Opinel knives? It's very interesting. Opinel are a great knife, and one that too many people look at as cheap junk. A shame really.
