Sent payment for this pretty babe recently.
Seem to be quite rare..
Is that handle unusual??
Edit - New pics @ bottom.
 
Ahh...the HI pop bottle opener with attached cheese knife.

I'd like to have one for my bar set...

They come through occasionally...but with Yangdu in charge, nothing is impossible now. Many fine and once rare models are being delivered regularly.

It *is* cool...congrats!
 
Thats a beauty. I love the filework on the blade. What a variety of products HI makes. WOW!
 
Do not use the hook to open beer bottles. You will cut your hand. Don't ask me how I know that.

Mine gets used as a kitchen knife for the jobs that would chip up my chef's knife. (It makes very short work of frozen meat.) It seems to be most efficient while making vertical pushcuts with the tip and the butt of the handle in the palm...almost like an ulu. The hardened zone on mine is up at the tip.

There were few of them sold, IIRC...few enough that every handle is unusual. Mine is neem with some horn pieces inset into it, similar to yours.

If you're planning on using it in the kitchen, be sure to seal the handle with something.

What is that... A Bikers knife!!!:D
I could swear from that picture that that is a leather covered handle with white metal nails/studs!!!

If that is wood, what wood is it???

I do not remember any Jure having an up-swept tip like that...

I have been wanting a Jure for quite some time...
I think even before the MULTIPLE hand cut incident...

Where did you get that one from??? I do not remember it in the DOTDs...
 
I put that knife up for sale on the forums since November 6, but nobody seemed to want it.

I originally bought it in one of the DOTDs some time ago.....

Can you post a close up of the handle? The picture you posted makes it look just like leather!

It is a horn handle, is that correct? Get with me in Jan. and I will take it off your hands...
 
Too late James - payment has been acknowledged.
Should be soon winging its way to NZ. :D

Will post closeup of handle when it arrives. Is described as being horn with inlay.

Sorry about that ;)
 
In Brent's neck of the woods there ought to be a use for that knife and many larger ones.

I wish I could see those parts of the world. NZ, Austrailia, Nepal, NG.
A long ways off. I'd like to see the wood. The mountains, not the too high snow capped ones, but those that people lived on.

For a moderator , you are extremely moderate!

There is something inherently wrong with this...

Cannot put a finger on it..

Suspect you are liberal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neat link...

"Double Edge Billhook - The curved blade is used for heavy cutting, and the straight one is kept very sharp for trimming. Southern Counties/Devon Billhook - This is designed for coppicing, brashing and light snedding."


Huh? Snedding?

Have always wanted some polearms- pikes, bills, Lochaber axe- but I cannot fathom "coppicing, brashing and light snedding."

A common language still divides us sometimes... :p

you can sharpen this one on both edges. It saves having to sharpen as often :)

Why, thank you John! I know you are an artist, but how could you tell that the JKM handle is like burr walnut?

Thanks for the encouragement!:D
