Hey, bigboned, sorry you can’t see the pics mate.
Gernot, I’ve only played with the knife in the backyard but the first thing that struck me when I chopped hardwood sticks was how well the thin edge coupled with the knife’s weight bit into and cut the wood.
I can’t find my Gransfors Wildlife Hatchet at the moment though on first impression the knife seems to cleave hardwood sticks cleaner and no doubt bites deeper than the hatchet with the same amount of force ... got to find my hatchet. :confused:
This is proving to be a great knife Mr Glesser. I like everything about it so far and for me it represents value for money. The big slab of sharp 4V in a fixed blade allows me to actually play with the knife, maybe even push it a little and better enjoy the potential on offer.
I have no idea of market demand for large fixed blades but personally, the Province at $260 ($AU438, I payed including shipping, tax and other BS) represents way better value than, say my incoming Advocate (which I bought heavily discounted) if for no other reason than it’s a bit hard to compare a little bit of blade steel in any folder to a slab of blade steel in a fixed blade. :D Ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha! :) :cool:
Hey Does, it’s a hefty knife mate with a thin grind that should perform well enough in any general cutting, I’d imagine, though the only real cutting I’ve done to date has been a little cardboard and a little hardwood end grain ... no worries there.Doeswhateveraspidercan wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 3:36 pmHey Bloke I have always wanted a Bowie knife and this one is really getting my attention.
We buy chicken necks for our cat which I muscle through with a pretty ordinary pair of poultry shears. I’d be willingly to chop through some chicken necks, maybe even wings for you, but hopefully Jim may chime in because I don’t want to wreck my new knife and forever hold you responsible. :eek: Ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha! :) :rolleyes:
Thanks Bloke.
