Wow Yibs! Shaving "Crocodile dundee" style, v impressive!
I once was a sales rep for a company called "Cutco" which sold knives with a forever guarentee....
Was when I was a wee teenager, wonder if they are now defunct?
Will go google it I think! :)
Well prepared as well Yibs! At least if you nicked urself you wouldn't end up looking like Norman gunston!!!!!
:lmao:
Now thats a knife Yib. However, I bought a smaller Muela, (pocket knife) paid $120.00 from local gun shop, as I was told, Spanish, German, or USA from memory. Couldn't be more disappointed in it! NOT sharp, small allen screws fall out, Not happy! should I return it with my complaints and hope its fixed or replaced? Dont wanna whinge, but, for that price, upset. All I want is a good rabbit skinning knife, euthanase sheep, etc..
Thanks Yib, will do! would you sharpen a knife yourself, (if ok on a steele, emery block etc) or would it be worth paying? to get it done professionally?
When I lived in Finland they are knife MAD over there. (puttko, I think its spelt) they told me paper was the worst thing to cut with a knife! Surely that couldn't be right! Maybe it got lost in the translation somewhere... lol...
Yib. I googled Zen imports for the knife but their Muela knife section is "under construction". How much are they. I must have one.
I have a knife collection & I sharpen them on an Arkansas stone.
Thanks Yib. I can't find any reference to the knife though as the site says that the Muela knife section is under construction.
Belay that last pipe Yib, I found them. I wasn't looking in the right spot.
Yib. The knives are all excellent. A bloke could go broke in a shop buying all those knives.
I better have a look at them as well. One can never have too many torches & knives. I've always said that.
Good watch Yib. I have a similar watch. I also have a camouflage watch but I put it down & can't find it.
I collect watches, I've got about 15 of them.
I've just checked that forum out. It's huge, I didn't realise so many people were into watches.
Both watches look good. The one on the right is a Timex, it won't be cheap. As the old saying goes though, "buy cheap buy twice".
Good afternoon all! (yes, it's been a while...)
The thing about cutting paper blunting knives?? Not sure if it an old wives tale, but I know that if my good dress making scissors were used to cut paper I knew immediately, as they would be blunt - it was one thing that caused me to threaten death (or worse) on my family ...
do NOT cut paper with anything you want to have a sharp edge!!!
Quite true . Paper and dressmaking scissors do not mix.
A wonderful, old, pair of dressmaking scissors of mine were "borrowed" and used to cut thick cardboard.
The next time I used them to cut silk (which was the only material I cut with those scissors) it became painfully obvious something had happened. Grrr!
It was an expensive " mistake". :evillaugh:

It's enough to make your blood boil isn't it??!
And the denials! And the "wasn't me's"!
But we know....
We ALWAYS know......
As with the quality of knives that I use so it is with scissors.
I was given a pair of hairdresser's scissors a very very very longtime ago by a retired hairdresser friend.
She had used them for over 15 years daily, before she gave them to me she had them sharpened, they are still sharp and they are used for cutting EVERYTHING that needs cutting.
To this day they are still as sharp as ever.
They are a 200mm Dovo Diamond Steel pair
