I said earlier that this was my first knife. Well today i went for a walk, spotted a nice straight piece of hazel and thought i would have a go at making my wife a walking stick. Picked a nice bit of wood to baton with and got out my new knife , hit it with the baton on the soft hazel 1" thick branch and the blade chipped. I am now in the process of returning it..
Bushcraft knife my A.., trade description act if you ask me..

jack pyke knives are rather crap IMO. low quality steel and handls are'nt very nice either.

Epic fail! My mora survived being used as a chizel while i was removing a concrete block from the bottom of a washing machine (dont ask.) Lost the tip of the blade though...ill have to file it back into shape, it ended up gathering dust once my puukko set arrived.I said earlier that this was my first knife.

Hi Greenpete,
With ref to the "Make your own!",...... I am still having a problem making Coffee!!!
To be serious for a moment, There must be a huge sense of achievement,when you make your own knife, such a personal piece of kit.... excellent!
I will try to add pics later of the knife and twig i was cutting
Before you buy a replacement for the JACK PIKE... may I suggest you take a look at the HULTIFORS range of knives.
I bought mine from..www.on-sitetools.co.uk 01375 679944
Bought one for 10 gbp, inc vat and postage... To be honest I prefer it to my MORA.
Hope that helps
Dave
