Paul sent me a message asking for my addy the other day.
Weāve met at the UK Sharp show and talked on the phone a few times,so I figured he wasnāt coming round to sort me out.
At one oāclock on the dot today the postman rang (well actually he knocked twice,it could be a film with Jack Nicholson
).
I opened the parcel he had sent and was shocked to see a Bison Belly,itās fair to say I was blown away I would never have guessed.
Best Christmas present ever,he had given careful consideration to my needs (weak hands etc.).
As for the knife how do Charlie/Howard do it?
Itās light but has the perfect presence and strength,a proper āpocket knifeā.
The blade pinches open with ease,yet is nice and firm when open.
The handle is unbelievable smooth with perfect covers and rivets.
But itās the ergonomic grip thatās the thing, it works like no other knife I have handled and looks stunning.
This knife needs to be seen and handled to appreciate it fully,like a lot of Charlieās knives perfection and not flashy.
Oh and the top half of the etch reminds me of Sardinias outline as on my Sardo knife.
A bit of a funny aside,the first parcel I got today was a small anvil,I thought oh thatās nice Paulās sent me an anvil.
Then I remembered I had bought it myself,a lady selling on FB used one in her adds to display the knives so I ordered one myself.
I am officially a forgetful old git.
In other news I havenāt skinned a Bison yet nor peeled an apple as thereās non in my house, so I may just cut up my banana later instead.
Anyway Paul thank you so much and a Happy Christmas to you and all the other good folk on the porch.

I have a wallet and a knife slip made from Bison hide, beautiful stuff.
