Update

So my sources supplier let her down, so she cant get some of the knives at the prices they were.

But shes still doing most at a brilliant price, so i am still going to go for a native just trying to work out whether to go for the original or the Native 3, i guess its going down to which steel...

The CS bushman should be here very soon as it has been sent - I also have a few designs to make up and a write up on my Bowie which is now finished :D 

Going to start the Kiridashi on Monday, cant do anything on the Tuesday as i have a job interview.

Victronox Spartan

Victronox Spartan

Well after hearing soooo much about the SAK (Swiss army knife) i decided to take the plunge and bought a Spartan,  Its one of the simplest in the range, although I do rather like the choice of tools, with a can opener, bottle opener, large and small knife, corkscrew, tweezers and toothpick, there is also a reemer (not too sure of the use of this tho.

Well overall its a lovely tool, very well made, although i do not like the colour scheme on this one... I ordered black but got sent a camoflage one...  But i will try to sand it off to plain black if that fails i will replace the scales with something a little different, i have ideas for either wood or green/black micarta... may even go for carbon fibre if i can get some cheap.

Edit: I now have this in Black and Gave the camo version away as a prize

This is a strange one, never heard of the company but went out on a limb to get it as i liked the design, the colours are quite striking with the contrasting red and black, Out of the box this little knife was pretty sharp i have to admit i do not like the grind its a chisel ground blade which i have Issues with...... but sharpened it up to what i expect

overall a very nice knife which is a little different

Fallkniven U2

Fallkniven U2

This is a great knife and been a little project knife as well, the knife is a small lock back which has a laminated blade which looks really good,  I decided to re-profile the edge so instead of a 20˚ edge it now has a thin and sharp convex edge, a quick strop returns the edge to a hair popping sharp edge.

its a rather elegant little folder being so simple and clean.

Review Kershaw Leek S30V

Kershaw Leek

This is my favourite knife, it gets used more than any other I have, Primarily as its fun to flick open, also the ergonomics of the knife are amazing with the handles shape and blade shape,

The thin S30V blade takes a razor sharp edge and holds it extremely well.  I have used this knife to do a huge number of tasks, From opening boxes, letters, packages, preparing food and even used it as a steak knife.  It performs amazing well in any situation.

Specs

Overall Length - 7" 

Blade Length - 3" (75mm)

Blade Steel - S30V

Handle Material - G10

Lock - Liner lock

Assissted Opener - Speedsafe with flipper

Review - Spyderco UKPK

Spyderco UKPK
This is the UK legal Spyderco, the one I have is in foliage green the blade is just under 3" and it is a slip joint knife, as locking knives are illegal to carry with out a very good reason.

Overall the knife is great its been used and abused the S30V blade holds a very keen edge, the handle shape is nice on the hands, the wire pocket clip almost vanishes when you clip it to a pocket as not to attract attention. 

Specs

Length Overall - 6 15/16" (175mm)

Blade Length - 2 15/16" (74mm)

Handle Material - G10
