If anyone is looking to buy a Cutco drop point knife as used by Chris Howard on the BDS Gralloching DVD then The Cutting Edge is selling them for £50 instead of £60 at the moment

I bought one a while back but to be honest I'm not that impressed with it. The blade is a bit too bulky for my liking.
That was my thinking when I saw it too, a bit too broad for doing the intricate bits. In the BDS video he says it has a plastic insert in the scabbard too... however there is no mention of it in the link above so I guess this doesn't come as standard.
It does, I succumbed to temptation and bought two drop point blades, one with conventional edge, one with a serrated edge both came with the removeable and dishwasher proof inserts in the scabbard.
....big bright glowing hot orange non-slip handles, which is great cos I'd hate to lose one and buck knives etc just seem to hide in the grass ever so easy..
If you put your knife down on a clean surface at the gralloch (i.e.a bag or liner of the roe sack), (and not in the grass) how have you lost it.??I have used a Cutco for years now and can not fault it, mind you it was only £37.00 when I bought it.
What has not been mentioned is that they carry a lifetime guarantee, and if it blunts you send it back for replacement for the cost of postage. I have "lost" it a couple of times but the bright orange handle made it easy to find at the gralloch, it has gralloched a lot of deer over the last couple of years and it holds an edge really well.
One knife I saw an alleged stalker use was a joke, this particular trog had a folding (very hygienic ) knife with half an inch broken off the tip and an edge that you could ride to London on without fear of a cut, the best laugh was watching him try to impress me with his sharpening skills using a steel

And a folder propely cleaned is just as clean as any knife IMO though my No. 1 knife is a fixed blade.
Only pulling your leg.
I left it on the "clean surface" at the gralloch of course
