WAITING PATIENTLY, THE EFFING CAMERAMAN
Lee Valley has a more modern version with a sheath and sharpener for about the same price. I've been wanting to pick one up but never got around to it.

EMF" Here is the description of it on another site.
Get a little help from the Hacking Knife. http://www.duluthtrading.com/search/searchresults/69137.aspx?feature=Product_3&kw=hacking+knife
"This handy tool hails from across the pond in England where it’s used to hack through the hard outer sheath on electrical cables and remove old putty from windows. 1/4" thick full-tang forged steel blade is hefty enough to take a hammer pounding and force the edge through PVC, bricks, wood, even sheet metal. 4 1/2" blade. Triple-riveted 3 3/4" leather handle. Includes leather sheath with 2 3/4" belt loop. Made in England."
Bricks :eek: thats just sick man :D
kiahs: that one looks nice. I may buy that one instead.

crazy. a kinfe meant for pounding through bricks. LD

I just noticed the thickness on the one you posted. It's much thicker than the Lee Valley, which is just 1/8" with a wide primary grind, so there'll probably be a big difference in the abuse it can take.
Still 1/8" thick blade designed to be beat on with a hammer is pretty cool.

Yeah I noticed that also. Also I wounder how the plastic handle will hold up over time. After beating on knives the last 2 years almost. I have seen some handles crack from the impact.
I ordered the England Footprint Hacking Knife last night. Some sites say it has a riveted leather handle. I guess this is the case. It's hard to tell in the photos. If so, the handles should be very tough on it.
