Thanks Alan/AShearer.
Good to see your Chestnut getting some carry time, Alan/joeradza. I'm a bit ambivalent about mine. I love the clean, elegant contrast of the timber and stainless, and I particularly like the threaded bolsters, but I just can't countenance the softness of chestnut covers in a knife purportedly for 'real use'. When I looked American Chestnut up on the Janka scale, it's actually softer than pine, and who would even contemplate pine for a knife handle? I was given to understand that if a timber takes an impression from your fingernail, then it's not adequate for a knife handle.
Anyway, here's another pic of my favourite 15 out and about in Ireland. I flew to England this morning with carry on baggage only, and I'm sitting here, knifeless in Sheffield missing it already...
