Gday from Sydney
on: September 15, 2011, 11:15:09 PM
Gday guys i have a 172 Gardener. I have cut the blade down, to about 2 inches with a sheeps foot / pry bar point. The other thing i have done to it, is sharpen the blade all the way to the handle. This is my favorite knife, i never go into the bush without it. Cheers Peter

The description can only go so far, a few pics would be the best way to describe what you have done to the blade.

Thanks for the welcome guys, it's a very cool site. The knife in the above pic is my bush survival knife, i never go into the bush with out it. Because it's a survival knife, i don"t want to use it. Sort of like if you have a lighter in your survival kit, you don't use it. What this means is i need a new user knife :D. The Question is which SAK to buy, not to big for a pocket, med sized non serrated locking blade, saw, awl. Any suggestions would be more than welcome. Cheers Peter.

Welcome to the forum mate. :cheers:  As to the SAK recommendation, if it wasn't for your wish to have a locking blade then I'd have said the Vic Farmer.  But if you have to have a locking blade then (thinking Victorinox here) you're going to jump up to the 111mm size and should be looking at the Forrester.

For a more pocket friendly Wenger then the S13 might suit you.

Love it, I file my SAKs into a sheepsfoot as well. Mine don't look as nice though. Nothing better than a nice short blade and a sturdy handle you can get your whole paw on.

Gday JackNate I 100% agree with you about sheep foot blades. I get to a spend alot of time, around alot of people trying to use knifes. I have had to duck tape, more than a few people up, because they have stab themselfs. Cheers Peter
