Thats a beauty for sure!!

Mine is somewhat smaller and weighs just under 250g. Still a chuncky blade with the spine 5mm across.

Millie is an ex-racer, she had 75 races before she retired, won about 1/3, was in the money in 2/3, won a stakes race, and generally was one of the track kennel's favourites. Blue was a foundling, got picked up running free by the police when he was about 6 mo. old. they suspect he had run away from travellers (gypsies or romany) who use them for rabbit coursing. he's not as stocky as Millie, but has a bit more endurance. i've had him since he was 10 months old. millie i got at 2 1/2 yrs. old, they're both 8 now. i can trace Millies ancestry back to 1775 (Linky) , Blue has a page there, but not much on it.

and as we are a weapons related site - to keep the mods on-side:

and a final one, just to be silly as it's christmas, in their winter PJ's

Thanks Tim, this knife is proving to be much more interesting than I'd thought!
