My new Von Gruff

[bruce moulds]

bob, the pictures say otherwise.
you always struck me as a man of style and good taste, as well as distinguished.
I could imagine that you might have had to spend a fair bit of time avoiding the girls throughout your life.

Mate. How can anyone resist buying a Von Gruff after seeing that one. Bloody nice. Is the sheath the vertical or horizontal model?

My son taught me how to post pictures but not how to rotate them.

They say old age is a privilege bestowed upon fewer and fewer each year. They also say only the good die young. So here I sit safe from one and working on the other...Ha

Bruce, you did a tremendous job writing up your assessment of the new Von Gruff knife in your possession. Garry's knives rival and or beat any other working knife that is available. Some come with downright beautiful scales, but the working ends know what "business" is all about. Like you so aptly said there will probably be another Von Gruff knife in your future.

 

[Shootist43]

Bruce, I hope you don't mind me adding on to your thread. My new Von Gruff Knife showed up today. I'm unable to match your eloquence in describing the knife and my appreciation of it. But I'm every bit as pleased with it as you were with yours. Mine is a Light Hunter with Black Lacewood Scales in a tooled case with a steel.

 

[Nyati]

I like both knives, very much

I seem to get older each birthday Forrest and if only the good die young shit I'll out live Methuselah.
You keep working on it young fella you'll get there.

shootist 43,
congratulations.
your knife looks too good to use, but should you do so it will also be a fine tool.
these things are a lifetime investment.

[bruce moulds]

if my knife reminds me of a no1 mk111 lee enfield, yours is a high grade british sporter.
neither is a 1960s weatherby.

I figured I would just add on to this thread rather than start a new one. Mine is a safari knife. It has a nice heft to it, balanced very well. The sheath is good and stiff, holding the knife and steel secure.
I can’t wait to try it.

 

[bruce moulds]

wyatt,
enjoy.
bruce.

 

[CBH Australia]

Nice, nice.
I have one ordered. Mmm it’s cut out but he is waiting on handle material that is in transit.
It’s gonna be a while but he will work his magic when he can.

 

[bruce moulds]

until then
eat your liver.

interesting to see a fair number of steels in knife pictures.
i hope guys find them as effective as i do mine.
i even use it on my pocket knife.
when i learned how to use it with effect, it definitely improves the edge applied with a strop.

I bought 4 meters of the rod I make the steels from and am getting through it at a reasonable rate so am pleased thay are getting such a good reception. Now that I have the process organised it is quite a nice change to make them.
