Hiya all,

I just had to share my latest pride and joy!!! (Still havn't stopped grinning!!! ) She arrived this morning, a gorgeous Stu Mitchell #366 Deval bushcrafter, 4mm RWL34 steel with tapered tang, dessert ironwood scales with black and red liners. It's an absolute dream

Can't wait to give it a try-out

The knife looks great but that Iron wood is simply stunning! such beautiful grain patterns,WOW! nice knife matey.

 

[Partickpebbles]

Woweee very nice, good reason to be excited!

Now that's the knife you should be buying Mr Southey. The DI sets it off beautifully. What sheath you got?

Would love to but I would have to sell my one collectable knife to do it, I just can't stop looking at the scales.

Congratulations on getting one. I have had mine for about a month and loving it. They feel so strong & chunky but are pretty good at carving as well. I am waiting for Rapidboy to get back to me when he has worked doen his backlog of sheaths, as I want one for mine. Am also thinking about one of his Kydex sheath systems for it...

That is a fine looking knife. The Desert Ironwood is fantastic. I have a Randall knife and a Terry Kidd with DI and neither are nearly as lovely as your SM. Cheers!

 

[The Big Lebowski]

That looks one seriously stunning knife

The ergonomics look a dream, not to mention the rest!
