Apparently there is a dearth of pictures on the internet of Bauchop knives. Here are some from my small collection I took yesterday (not high res ) :
The Big one is an Alley Cat with it's sheath . I put the folder in the Alley Cat's sheath pocket where it rides perfectly, a deadly duo for sure! The Alley Cat was made in the 80s by Peter Bauchop and the Shaman folder in the 90s by his son Robert Bauchop under his dad's supervision. The 6" knife is my newly acquired Utility Cat which is a superb light knife. All are D2 with Micarta handles. These have a wonderful reputation in Africa under hard use and sure have superb balance and finish! I am also showing spine thickness. The Alley cat is a beefy 6.5mm (little over 1/4") where as the Shaman is a little under 3/16" (making it a beefy folder) and the Utility Cat is just 1/8" or so making it a superb slicer and light to carry. My collection is GTG for me but I would not turn down a reasonable Reece which is kinda prybarish.
