By "trade" i'm a viticulturist/vineyard manager, the Tasman SE is my #1 knife at work for at least 6 months of the year - namely for picking grapes, utility for bird netting and alike, it's awesome. Combine that with winery work where you deal with caustic and citric acid mixes, H1 blade p...

My native 3 is one of my favourite knives and I like the idea of an extended version pictured.

Ideally though I'd like to see the native 4 produced in H1 in a future run, along with the Chief, that would be a winner ;)

What about a 3 1/2" folder? Am shipping one today from USPS. Does customs open each package? (Its single edge, normal config) The buyer asked I tighten the pivot. I thought it was a joke? Guess I will tighten it up...... Its an M4 Rift Should be ok, although customs are getting tougher with an...

Never tried, doubt I would (as I'm a folder sort of dude).

But I know for a fact customs will sieze double edge blades that come into the country... It's a big risk.

I of course love the idea of more new H1 knives! I still would really, really, really like to see a G10+H1 hard use folder (H1 manix 2?). Until that happens, i'd be happy with an H1 Goddard. I'd be all over a goddard (baby or not) like a rash. Could also go a native CE in H1, or several in both cas...

Got my tasman salt yesterday, been needing (wanting) it lately for the hawkbill to try it out. Tied a lanyard and took it to work... Started the day with a few irrigation trickle blow outs, fixed. Had to spray some fungicides for a few hours - opened a few bags of chemical to mix up. Fixed sprayer l...

In fact my next Spydie I hope to be a Tasman. My Tasman came yesterday along with my pacific, had a play and this beauty is great - the Tasman is perfect size and shape for my needs at this time of year and is in pocket ready for work this morning. I can already see myself loving the H1 and hawkbil...

Mine's on it's way, along with a Pacific Salt to complement it, can't wait.

Been a couple of weeks now so I think it's been holed up in the Aussie customs for them to have a peek :(
