New Years Update

Well there was a little mix up in my order, so i ended up getting an Endura instead of a UKPK.... but after a quick PM its all been cleared up and i will be getting a UKPK as soon as the young lady gets another in. Plus i get to keep the Endura (for free). I also got the Benchmade which i have been using LOADS and its proven to be one of the best knifes I have even seen or used.  Edge holding is supreme, looks, sharpness, and just how damn comfortable it is to use, its completely none threatening as well (due to the sheepsfoot blade).


Firstly the Griptillian
simple lines extremely comfortable, very well made - plus its got a cool axis lock and very nice to use




The Endura
first impressions aside with it not only being the wrong knife and the fact its Pink...  its quite nice, havent really played with it as i thought it would be going home but it did feel comfortable in the hand, the pink kinda kills the scary knife image away lol 
plus its for breast cancer awareness with Sal donating money from every knife going to the trust.  Will have a play with it tonight so i can write some more on it.




Bali Progress
Well i tried filling down the teak but it was taking too long and was annoying, after asking some advice people said use a craft knife to remove the bulk of the material.  so i broke out the BM Griptillian, the knife made quick work of the Teak inserts as you can see from all the shavings in the picture.



they are shavings from all 8 inserts not just that one handle - that handle just shows one insert virtually finished, just need to smooth and polish then its al finished.

And Finally

HAPPY NEW EVERYONE, All the best for 2008 to you and your Families
