New knife.
      #3464 - 12/07/2008 14:17

I'm looking to buy a new knife as I have lost mine.
Just wondered what peoples recommendations are as I cant seem to make my mind up?
I don't want to spend a fortune either.
Cheers

Depends what you are using it for but my everyday knives are all opinel, cheap and good steel that holds a nice edge.

Blade is locked and I like the handles.

And if it gets lost I dont mind too much as they are cheap to replace.

I just bought an inexpensive knife with a gut hook, made by Whitby. It was only just over a tenner, and seems to be well made. Only time and use will tell if it stays sharp, but for that money, you can't go wrong. Paunched a bunny for the first time with it yesterday and it worked a treat.

If I had more to spend, I would have bought a Buck branded one as they look the business.

Cheers, HG.

I got a number 10 opinel in the end.
Only £7 off the net.
Works a treat and keeps it edge, So good that I have ordered a set of Opinel kitchen knives.
The only gripe I have is that the blade goes a bit rusty if not dried after washing and it has watermarks on it.
Oh well!
