Thanks Mark!! Vic currently does 5 or 6 BSA models in cellidor but the BSA Pioneer is very hard to find with NIB examples often bringing $500+. :eek:

Wenger also produced some nice scout models.

A cheap but rather well made one...

I like the color of the 2015 LE alox SAKs. I just wish they would've done the Electrician this time instead of the Pioneer. The Electrician is my favorite model. I just don't need a can opener on me. I've never even used one while camping. The small sheepsfoot I can use on a daily basis.

Great mailcall David. I quite enjoy the lines of the S-tac with that dramatic reverse tanto swedge.

Thanks Tim - yes, the blade shape of the S-tac is really interesting - I look forward to trying it out.

Well, I did have to sign for a few things, but it would have been more fun if the mail-truck was up-armoured :)

Happy to do it Paul! We get along on knives and all, but can a Seahawk and a Patriot really co-habitate... :) Perhaps knives are the Rx for peace amongst these two proud clans?

Well David, I meant live vicariously through you first off:D:o And I do believe the knives can build a peace bridge between Waring factions:);)

Rushed picture as I was just leaving the house, but hope it gives an idea.

Thought I'd write an initial review. Very pleased indeed with this latest, an SFO which I'm certain was made by Queen Cutlery and if the one I got is any indication, one that will certainly surprise those who've had questionable results from Queen.

Gaps when held up to daylight? No.
Blade play of any sort? No.
Blade centre? Yes
Arrived sharp enough to shave arm-hair? Yes
Decent grinds/bevel? Yes.
Pins flush? Yes all 6
Spring flush open/closed? Yes
End of spring cut off cleanly and well finished? Yes

This is an interesting Copperhead for a number of reasons, clad in reclaimed wood (this one Ash other include Oak, Maple, Yellow Birch) the handles are very well radiused on the frame smoothly finished with no liner sticking out or other annoyance for the in hand feel. A large but thin Wharncliffe that is easy to pinch open due to the wide blade, the spring is strong, smart half-stop and good snap once oiled. Looks very nice open but a bit odd closed due to the breadth of the blade but a whole lot to pinch open made the nick kind of redundant. The 154 blade is nicely sharp, has a good glaze finish so no fingerprint mess and shows a lot of promise for slicing being ground thin. Ideal as food prep knife or for fishing or small game tasks this makes the knife a versatile carry. Fans of a big Wharncliffe apply here, the swedge looks very much at home on the steel. The price is certainly decent for you Americans under 80 USD delivered, a little more for us in Europe.

Very nice surprise all round I feel.:thumbup:

Thanks, Will
