Post by: Zed on May 11, 2011, 02:01:37 PM
Well there has been talk of carrots ? punbes ?  :think: but it all started with a old re-worked file i picked up from my local car boot sale for 50p sadly ive lost the pic on phottobucket so i hope tony has some pics,I sent this olf file to tony as i felt he had way more skill than me to do something with it, i told tony he could keep it  but in tony fashion as a top guy he sent it back, and im stunned, the workmanship is amazing, there was mention of micarta and it has it, leather yes, the a re-worked and sharp  :o blade, i chrisian this little knife carrot, as seems fitting, plus very good at cutting them, i cant thank tony enough , i owe you mate,  :salute:  here are some pics doing what a carrot chopper does best  :tu:
