Hi Folks

Something a bit special off my workbench recently...

Named after the esteemed big game hunter John 'Pondoro' Taylor and inspired by the big tuskers of his day. A rounded handle, lanyard tube, generous finger guard and light-weight hidden tang construction combines practicality with the aesthetic.

This Pondoro is in Magnacut stainless steel with a Stabilized Maple Burl handle. Use of the ultra-tough Magnacut allows a thinner blade with a fine geometry - light-weight and slicey! A Nickel silver finger guard, mosaic main pin and fibre liners complete the piece.

After a hard day's work in the field, this knife will make light work of breaking down your quarry. Enough blade and robust enough for some of the largest thick-skinned game as well as general duties around the campsite. This knife will serve you well in hunting trips for the rest your lifetime.
