Since the OP has already spent the money, why not encourage him to see for himself whether or not the knives he has purchased can be trusted?
The reason why I say this is I rember one of your posts some time ago that originally led me to joining this forum
IIRC, it was a post where you asked about whether or not Fallkniven & Bark River were hard use knives. You even went so far as to suggest that there wasn't much evidence that this was the case.
If I also remember correctly, at the time I referred you to the Fallkniven forum where you could see ample evidence of this being the case in real world use. After all, you are also a member of knifeforums.com, so you could look at the available evidence that had been previously posted on the internet.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't recall you responding to my first post.
Unfortunately the search function only appears to let me search my last 500 posts, otherwise I would provide a link to this
I also seem to recall your willingness to dog pile on the recent anti-Bark river post on the Fiddlebackforge forum post here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=781983
Just to remind you, have a look at post number #16 , # 55 and #57.
Based on what I've seen so far, it seems to me like you have an anti-Fallkniven & Bark River agenda :thumbdn:
I truly mean no offense by this, but rather, remind you of your previous posts and show you why my opinions are what they are
Kind regards
Mick
+100 internets to you.
Adding more fuel to the fire boys. I ordered a Ratmandu and a Kellam Wolverine. Pretty sure I will be selling the f1, b1 and esse5 and keeping the ratmandu as a "big" knife and the wolverine as a smaller knife for more delicate things such as gutting a perch or....wait for it, putting peanut butter on my bread!
Cheers

I find it amusing how people can get so worked up on these threads. I'm not immune to the " worrying if my knives will break " syndrome which is why I don't feel too bad yanking other peoples chains a little.
If we just take a step back and look at what we are really talking about you have to give ya head a shake and smile eh !!!!
There are people dying all over the world in wars or starving to death and we stress over whether our knife will chip or go dull quick, in reality we all know that 90% of our tasks could be done with a Mora but if we all just carried a Mora and an Axe this would be one hell of a boring forum !

Kman, since you're so quick to adopt other peoples opinions as your own, and you're going to sell all three of these knives that, apparently, are garbage, I'll gladly take them off your hands. However, since they're shitty knives, I think you should sell the whole lot to me for $30 shipped.

Mic, I never really had a problem with you, and I feel you have a vast knowledge of wilderness and skill. However, you really feel that insulting other's areas or ideas of wilderness is going to prove something.
Yes Austarlia has vast areas of "wilderness" and it can be tough to get by, but you have no idea what it is like in subzero temps with 3-5 feet of snow on the ground. Allthough you think your trees are made of concrete, and ours are silly putty; you have never experienced using that wood while it was frozen.
You also don't have experience in some of our rain forrests, where you can spend days soaking wet and cold.
So before you go insulting our idea of wilderness, why don't you come on over and experience it first.
In the mean time, feel free to post your experience of your wilderness, but leave your antagonistic posts about others out of it.
Respectfully,
Tony
