Pictures of my Dicks.

Came across this one the other day when looking for something else.
It is an F. Dick pig knife for those who distain wimpy spears and like to get up close and personal when dispatching wild pigs.
I prefer a .30 caliber bullet.
I got it as it is a beautiful dagger blade (the synthetic handle is a bit Meh to look at but a fabulous grip). Blade length is 8 inches (just over 20 cm).
I don’t know if they are still made.
My other Dick??
This old smooth steel from the abattoir days 40 years ago and it was old then. It is quite valuable. Cost a bomb back then and I don’t think that it has gone down in value since. It is unusual in that it is smooth by manufacture – not hours spent rubbing down on a brick.
Want to put a shaving edge on a carbon steel blade, here’s the Dick for it.
A bit of a strange name for cutlery , like Smeg appliances, and I’m sure you can imagine the jokes emanating from the name…..”can I borrow your Dick?” etc.etc.
Anyway, just thought I share with the other knife freaks here.
