I'm also getting behind France now that I've overcome my disappointment. Zidane has to be one of the greatest players of the modern era. Wonderful to see him score against Spain.

And Lucas Neill had such a great series up till then. I really feel for him and the rest of the lads. At least we stuck it to the Italians. I wonder if the US coach still thinks we didn't deserve to be there :p .

If Australia beats Italy tonight you'll here the cheering wherever you are :D .

Thanks ZH. Sounds like it's the larger model. I was hoping it might be smaller as that would give me a good excuse to buy it :) . Still I do like whales :D .

zenheretic I'm really pleased someone here grabbed one of these as they are really beautiful knives. I was a little disapointed in the lack of reaction to my original post but I'm glad to see I reached at least one member :) . A couple of questions. What size is the knife? I couldn't tell from the p...

That's an outstanding example of cooperation and commitment from a company with a heart and a social conscience. Unfortunately it may all be in vain if the Japanese and Norwegians manage to persuade the IWC to allow them to recommence commercial whaling. Japan is already killing hundreds of whales u...

All the very best Sal. Hope to see you back in Oz in the near future.

I was Googling for scrimshanders yesterday and found these gorgeous Moki Evrinas scrimmed by C. Bertrand. :spyder: was the sole distributor for these and they were the prototypes for a later FRN version. There were 2 sizes, from memory about 4 1/4" and 3 1/2" closed. Sal had 50 of each scr...

Thanks for the info Kevin. I'll leave the tab on my PFD vacant in anticipation :) .

BTTT Somebody must know something :) .

Here's the thread.
Shows what a reverse hawkbill would look like. My new PDF will look naked without one :D .

Some time back there was a post about the possibility of a Rescue Swick. I can't remember whether I read it here or at BF but it was to be in H-1 and had a reverse hawkbill blade. I'm just about to buy a new paddling PDF that has a an accessory tab and a Swick would look great there :) . Has anybody...

My high maintenance kids are keeping me constantly broke these days and there's no way I can afford both versions. I'll probably have to pass on the ZDP Chinese Folder as well :( . c...

Blades, No I've only seen pictures of the peel ply, not had the opportunity to handle it so I guess I shouldn't be too hasty to reject it :) . OTOH I am a bit of a traditionalist (getting worse the older I get) which makes it hard to give up the idea of bolsters and scales, even if they are "bu...

The law in NSW states that you cannot carry any knife in a public place or a school without a valid excuse. However, I have carried a knife every day since the law was introduced, often with the clip showing, without any problems. I do carry something smaller like a Kopa or Kiwi if I'm in the city a...

Blades wrote: "where's my pills, I need a pill" Thanks for reminding me mate :) . That's the trouble with getting old, you need more pills but with short term memory loss you forget to take them :D . I'm glad to hear you're doing OK. Not so keen on the peel ply, I was really looking forwar...

I remember, longest couple of years of my life :D .

G'day Blades, how are you? Good to see you up and about.

I vote for jigged bone on the ZDP Caly III.

I'm with Carlos on this one, jigged bone like the Kiwi. Second choice would be some type of wood. This is the ultimate urban carry knife.

The K05 PE definitely does exist. I know because I have one :) . They are worth finding if you can. Mine is a favourite in the kitchen alongside my Santoku.
