Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

How can that be? The overall length of the knife is 8.45"

As I said: almost 9"… Small Sebenza is max length for me...

He's adding that extra half inch as most guys do;)

^^ avoid imho. the stuff looks like cheap imports being palmed off as something its not.

Just had a quick look on Britishblades.com - lots of negative thoughts there for Perkins! Ah well, I just bought a a kukri or three from Himalayan Imports, so I've had my fix for the time being.

got this beauty today. those who read the heritage post might have seen the article about this knife in edition no. 2/2012 on page 144. The blacksmith, Yannick Epiard builds the blades from railing steel dated 13th-15th century, which he found in the cathedral in Reims, France…wow...he got the inspiration of this "piemontais" from an extremely rare find from diggings near a cathedral in London, which seems to be the oldest known pocketknife to date.

A knife from the middle age, back to the roots guys

I like Mr Reeve's attitude and demand for perfection into his knives. Wow, thx for sharing Shane

[thomasnunnally]

That knife is really neat Davito, would really like to see it in person!

CRK had a DVD set that followed the manufacture of their folding knives and their fixed blades that was pretty fantastic. Really interesting stuff. Even went into Chris' life history

^very cool would love to see it

Ok, I think I'm convinced I need a Chris Reeve knife. Someone tell me where the best selection can be found…

[DougNg]

Unfortunately, I don't think they're sold anymore
