Looking for some kind of bushcraft knife or survival knife.

Get a frosts Mora. Only a tenner and a great knife. Next step up would be a Pukko for about £40.00. After that, probably something like a falkniven F1 for about £100.00, up from that again is a custom knife from about £250.00 plus. All will do a job for you. All will cut stuff (including you) and it is VERY unlikely that you will break one.

The knives are coming to me at the end of the week , have been told they are model no 640, complete with sheaths.

I have seen them on the net a bit cheaper but then you have to add delivery.

I don't think they are a big gamble and from a lot of reports probably one of the best starters to buy.

If I am correct, the 640 is the one with the solid plastic handle and a deep finger guard, with a carbon steel blade. For £8.00 they are a great knife. You won't be disappointed.

Dont think it matters what colour the handles are as long as it cuts what you want it to cut.
I have one of these knives and I know you wont be disappointed no matter what colour the handle is.
