Ah good...you got another one. When i get a job and after a few cheques ill take one of those shinies off your hands

 

No more job?

 

Not since march dude. Robotics company was not working out. (At all!). Lack of pay.......etc.

I was also down for three weeks with lower back pain.

Ill pm you later

 

Bang on the money, mate.

 

You have yet to buy a knife that doesn't give me knife envy!

 

You did killer work on that edge with those stones. Nice blades, man!

 

Thanks gents.

Just a couple more pics post-sharpening.

 

its going to rain soon....go get those beauties WET & DIRTY and beat the living hell out of them!

 

I plan on leaving Blade with a Winkler of some sort. Any counsel on which one?

 

My first thought would be the Belt knife, it’s a very good design and pretty quintessentially Winkler.

 

That's a largely personal decision, but I suppose it would depend on what you'd want it to do, primarily.

My advice? Handle as many as you can, and go with your gut.

 

I was planning on the belt knife, and either a Winkler or Hoffman axe. Im mainly going to use it to cut things. It also may be used to take up space in a drawer or safe like the rest of the knives I own.

 

The belt knife is a solid choice. Great all around blade.

I've been wanting a Winkler hawk for a while. The Ranger axe and Hammer combat axe, both with the half wrapped handles are the two that interest me most. Preferably with sculpted green micarta

 

I'm hoping they have something cool at the show. Ive been wanting a Winkler for awhile. I want to hold a few and see what balances good in my hand.
