gaffa Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I know a few of the members get involved in Hunting and Shooting as well as Fishing so I thought I would post a link to my latest boy toy purchase a Bushcarver S2 custom made knife by Adrian Etheridge of Chyrose Knives. http://www.chyroseknives.org/ The Link below shows the making of my actual knife but the pictures of the final product don't provide the full experiece of handling and using such a superb peice of craftsmanship.Skip to the end to see the finished product. Dealing with Adrian was a great experience he is a top guy highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UmMH1XYNU4 The knife is made of RWL34 stainless steel with Micarta Handle Scales. It is an extremely hard (62.4 rhc) steel and very corrosion resistant. The edge is Razor Sharp. I thought I had managed to get some good edges on my filletting knives until i experienced this it is in a different league. Anyway If any of you are after a QUALITY knife have a look at Adrians website. I am over the moon with mine and it was extremely reasonably priced considering the labour and skill that went into it and its leather sheaths' production .

gaffa Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Kev Its so sharp a drop of superglue is all that's needed Seriously I have never experienced a blade as sharp as this before and the steel has been selected to hold an edge see what some animal did with a similar RWL34 blade in these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgOLDW15y8M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07PP9EQQCcA Sacrilage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Apart from trimming the end of your cigars, what is the intended use Pete? Lemons for the G&T? gaffa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffa Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Cleaning My Nails Rob Bought it for a number of different reasons 1. As an investment . 2. As an item that demonstrates and promotes a skilled artform 3. For general meat prep work where blade edge won't be affected by hitting or cutting through bone . 4. As a tool that doesn't require constant resharpening and will last a lifetime 5. Finally any other reason.I can think of ....cos I will use it!!!

gjb Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I am a bit of a knife freak I love the workmanship, so I have hand made and top notch ones hence 20 +, one made by the kill bill sword maker I have been collecting for 30 years so enjoy something well made and fit to do the job Jim and gaffa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 We all have our passions. If you have the money and you want one then why not. They look like very good knives but I won't be buying one. I suppose it's like fine wine . . . . . . . It'd be wasted on me ! gaffa and gjb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
