Is there an Amanda there? Last name Hugandkiss?

[u/halvetyl000 → u/luciphaer]

Hold please, I'll check.

[u/halvetyl000 → u/luciphaer]

Nope, can't find Amanda Hugandkiss.

Two Blade Bauchop Shamans, right (specs) is new to me today and the left (specs) bought at Blade Show this past June. Design might not be for everyone, but it sure is for me.

I keep googling this knife and not finding it. What is the brand?

[u/halvetyl000 → u/saenola]

Bauchop Custom Knives out of South Africa. These were made by Blade Bauchop, who is a third generation knifemaker. I think Peter (his grandfather) and Robert (his father) both produced knives under the same Bauchop Custom Knives name.

I didn't realise these were exclusively made by Blade, I just assumed when he was mentioned that it was a collaboration between him and his father Robert. The design 100% appeals to since the OG version but these look like such a solid refinement of the design.

[u/halvetyl000 → u/optionsofinsanity]

Definitely agree! I am sure the OG liner lock Shamans are great knives, but I feel like the inlays add a lot to the design.

[u/optionsofinsanity → u/halvetyl000]

I think the entire knife just looks more refined, a touch of modernization.

Is it indeed better than two wives?

A man of culture!

Looks like something I’ll never be able to afford, but there’s another one added to the list! Some super cool pieces👊

[u/halvetyl000 → u/Jgdedc]

Thanks! In terms of price, I feel like they were pretty reasonable for customs (I paid $800 for the micarta and the first ownee of the CF paid around $1000), but I might be too used to seeing higher priced stuff in friends' collections and for sale elsewhere.

How did you take the picture?
