[NorthernRaider]

BEAUTIFUL cutlery Michael, wonderful for expeditioneers and military guys on active duty, I have been handing and using knives for over 45 years now and ALWAY carry a blade.

I have some very serious concerns and issues with many of the hand made knives available today, all are truly exquisite pieces of work, but many put art before function, anyone who has stuck a pig, gutted a fish, skinned game, split a pole etc knows just how often their fingers and thumbs are saved by a thumb or crossguard, choil or bolster, and all to often many modern custom knife makes sacrfice this vital componant. Functionality must come first.

I mainly carry Cold Steel, Blade-Tech, Benchmade, Gerber type blades EDC and tactically, What I rarely see from the custom knife makes is a good EDC blade that survivalists, preppers, bushcrafters, off gridders etc can comfortably wear and use every day.

OYE who ever is playing with the sigs again please remove that bloody thing you added to my sig, I said a actually laughing skull and crossbones in Black and white, no NORTHERN RAIDER, no gay pink background. I dont mind you playing with the sigs but at least GET IT RIGHT

If your cold, or wet or blood and fur covered fingers cannot retain their grasp on a knife whilse cleaning, filleting, gutting, paring, whittling it doesnt matter how expensive or how much the rare materials for the scales cost..... that knife is an ornament.
