To be honest, taking delivery and using them for the first time was a bit of an anticlimax in a very strange sort of way....
....the workmanship and quality is fantastic but, I knew it would be as I know Stuarts reputation.
....the design is spot on but, I knew it would be as I have been using knives for a long time and Stuart and I discussed what was required at length.
....in short, they are perfect for the task and a pleasure to use but, I knew they would be!
What was more of a suprise was, in the same package, Stuart sent me a prototype knife in a general Bushcraft/survival style for testing on deer and game. This proved very useful despite being quite different from my 'perfect' knives. The only problem that I had with it was that I had to send it back after a couple of weeks! Again I will write a full review of this knife in due course but I'll post a photo now to wet the appetite.
