shootgun Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I never thought i will spend this sort of money for a knife, but after my mate Steve let me use one of his to gralloch a fallow, i was hooked. Anyone using one? How do you rate it? Got the Garron and Cael in stabilised gold poplar, the Artemis is due in about 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 They are very attractive knives and by reputation can do the job in spades. My Yilditz 410 kills pheasants if I do my bit BUT I could spend another £10,000 and have one made but it wouldn't kill the birds any deader. If owning something like that makes you happy then that in my book is what it is all about. ENJOY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 hearing great things about these i must admit. but being as tight as i am the likelyhood of me getting one is very slim. hope you enjoy using it mate just dont lose it when dumping the gralloch lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Stunning piece. I would love to own one but I would be scared to use it as then I would have to sharpen it 😞 Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Used a few now own a Cael love it just feels part of my hand and holds an edge. However very expensive and I’ve a knife maker making me a couple of high carbon steel blanks to fit up handles to as a rough day option.

Gameking Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I have the Cael in 'blue glow in the dark' and it' superb , designed for deer but I use it for all game/ rabbits / pigeon etc. If you are nervous then Emberleaf will sharpen it for you by return post. They do hold an edge so do many, many deer before a resharpen with only a quick strop on leather block occasionally.
