I tend to collect attractive "using knives", which may be pressed into action or just carried about without any real purpose, besides the genuine pleasure of having a first-class blade at the ready...; while you engage in all sorts of wild endeavours with your knives, including serious skinning duties: your perspective is much appreciated. Thanks again for a very thoughtful air gun blog!<br /><br />Kind regards, JackArtisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017942341562178306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205987449820979385.post-44912322676105102262012-04-09T09:03:33.606+01:002012-04-09T09:03:33.606+01:00Hi Artisan.

I'm using it for more 'delicate' jobs these days because it's just so lovely; it's one of those blades you enjoy owning more than using, even though it's so lovely to use! The 'limitations' I've found are mainly due tot he shape of the blade. Thus, it's not as great for unzipping rabbits as, say, a clip-point knife. On the other hand, its blade shape does have other advantages - as mentioned in my review in a film. It's like any knife, really - not a Jack of all trades, but a master of many of them!

(Your excellent, comprehensive review was the determining factor in my decision.) Now, because I will never use the thing as much as you have, please explain the following--suggestive--statement: "It has a few limitations...". I greatly look forward to your response, sir.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />JackArtisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017942341562178306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205987449820979385.post-64410175401207465812012-03-25T10:18:47.539+01:002012-03-25T10:18:47.539+01:00Thanks, Jack.

And it's one of the best balanced folders I've ever experienced. Occasionally, when I look at it all shiny and new in these photos and the film, I regret deploying mine into active service!!!NIGEL ALLEN's Official Airgun Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284395955772330907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205987449820979385.post-65667695686084103522012-03-25T00:19:27.129+00:002012-03-25T00:19:27.129+00:00Excellent, thoughtful review, Mr Allen--thank you....Excellent, thoughtful review, Mr Allen--thank you.
