It would be one of the stainless niwaki ones for me

Was keen to look for something that has good clearance for fingers under the handle.

Found this which suits, albeit over budget. It's a present, for twins, so need 2!

The procook one I have seems decent. If you're lucky enough to have a tk maxx that still sells knives you might be able to get a decent German make there.

Ooh, my brother is wet for Niwaki garden shears, so could be a great shout.

It’s a tad over 30 quid but a really good introduction to Japanese knives

Kuhn Rikon. Actually Swiss but amazing for the money. They do look a bit funky rather than traditional Japanese mind …

Yeah, I want it to look as traditional as possible tbh, lol.

Shame you missed these when they were a tenner

I had it sat open on a tab for ages and then forgot to actually buy one, ffs.

That Niwaki then, looks good.

Yet another SAK I'm not using. Micarta scales in vgc all round.

Drilllium set?

Speed holes, for faster cutting!

I bent my clip by catching on something while clipped in my trouser pocket. I contacted HH and a guy sent me a new clip and the two tiny torx boltlets. Give that a go.

Ah, cheers. I still haven’t gotten round to contacting them.

Do you have another photo of the brass scaled one?

Booked onto a Blenheim Forge knife sharpening course.

Most likely going to be tempted to buy all the things…

Oh! Pay attention. Like I didn't. And then had to fill in the gaps with YouTube footage.
It's all good now.

I reckon whittling tutorial video maker mustn't be far behind...

Several plasters were handed out at the sharpening course, knives are sharp yo

Bushcraft & Tree grafting workshops the same.
