Told you guys I'd be back with more knife pics! Heheh! Here is the Very First Handmade Sly II Hollow handle survival knife made by Andrew Clifford of Andrew Clifford Knives also ACK Knives! Since this knife, Andy has made quite a few of these...both Numbered And Un-Numbered!!
It's not an exact copy of the Jimmy Lile Original Sly II, mainly because Andy stated that he is not a fan of the Split serrations concept. He believes that the solid serrations are much better and keeps the knife stronger as opposed to the Split ones!!
I both agree And disagree with that. But still, Andy does make some awesome knives!! I've had this one for about 4 years now and have used it over and over Continuously!!
I mean after all, sure ya wanna keep beautiful handmade knives like this looking beautiful. But at the same time what good is a high end handmade knife if you aren't going to Use it.
If you want to buy knives for Show, Wall Hanging, or Display Only...then you could spend less money and get cheaper knives just for that purpose.
Now I'm not saying you should just take your $800 handmade knife out and mistreat it and/or just try to demolish it.
But I'm just saying that "Hey, ya bought a Big Ass High Quality Knife that makes one Awesome utility knife or knife to use on your next camping/ hiking trip..So why not use it if ya wanna??!! Don't be afraid to Use a knife! After all, that is what it's for!!
And after each use, clean and/or lubricate your Big Ass Knife's blade, guard, handle, etc...And keep it clean. Maybe run it over the sharpening stone once or twice. You Can use your knife and yet still keep it looking Showroom beautiful!
Knives are meant and made to be used...Soo...Use Them! THAT'S AN ORDER!! HAHAHAHAHA JUST KIDDIN'!!
