Hi.
I'm in the process of gathering together information to help me decide on a purchase. I plan to buy 2 knives, yes I am quite new to this game
I am looking at buying a medium 4-6ish " fixed blade and a smaller lock knife both to be hard wearing and to be used daily.
I've had a good look through this forum and seen some fabulous blades but I'd really like to have a feel of some in person before buying so my first question is:
Can anyone from the UK recommend a good shop, preferably Manchester- Nottingham - Sheffield area but I am willing to travel.
Second, again quite specific to UK. I have seen on a UK www site the Fallkniven A1/S1 and the SOG Government. These 'look' like the sort of fixed blade I'm after, I have heard lots of the A1/S1/F1 on the forum but not a lot, if anything on the 'Government'- any comments and does anyone know of a place in the UK that I might be able to view them. Any other recommendations of knives (general workhorse for similar task as you'd use an A1/S1) that I can view in the UK would be great.
Sorry if I have not provided enough specific information on what I'm after.
Many thanks, Phil
