Re: Thank you Mr Anton De Beer

Re: Thank you Mr Anton De Beer
I'll use excitement as an excuse for not reading before asking
This leaves with with a serious dilemma.......since I got my first custom and considering the price of your knife, how can I justify buying factory knives anymore???
Problem being my wish list (say what you want) includes the following:
BK2
BK3 (maybe)
BK7 (maybe)
BK9
TOPS Prather War Bowie
TOPS DART
TOPS Tahoma Field knife (maybe)
Long term dreams sure enough, but how many more great SA (and Namibia) made knives can I get for that money.......?
Thanks for complicating my life Michael!

Re: Thank you Mr Anton De Beer
Honestly I gave up on justifying any knife purchases a long time ago haha, I suppose factory knives are easier to use and abuse within reason ( don't recommend using a Micro tec D.O.C for prying and deadly battles with steel wire )
With custom pieces, they are more precious and prized, basically a new member of the family, honestly if I wasn't so fond of handling her, she'd be in about half a square meter of bubble wrap haha
Well for the estimated total you could design your own arsenal of sharp things :D
But then again....what's wrong with alternating between factory and custom :D
Just hide the till slips from the misses!

I question myself about the BK2, I wonder if it's all the hype, but I do like 1095 more than most steels, and I do want to strip my BK's and make my own Micarta scales...I WANT!
If I compare my TOPS Silent Hero with the custom, you realize that the "excellent fit & finish" TOPS is known for is not up to handmade standard.
Not to mention supporting local craftsman and artists.....
But still, at the very least I want the Prather someday...
, honestly if I wasn't so fond of handling her, she'd be in about half a square meter of bubble wrap haha
My answer is to shred half a ream of A4 and then put it away
Enjoy your knife and thanks, I'll contact Anton in the next 3/4 months for sure!
