@Corballyred I think if needs be Trent would excel in the Xabi Alonso role when it was Alonso, Mascherano and Stevie G in the centre, Iโd seriously be looking for a RB instead of a DM at the moment.
Last two off the bench before a holiday. Both kitchen/ chef knives, on the left is Aussie Jarrah and Birds eye Beech with brass and g10 collar and pins, on the right is an unknown timber, (maybe walnut) with g10 collar and pins. Retailed at $250 NZD
Kitchen knife and pairing set, Santoku shape on the kitchen knife, this would be a good all rounder great for slicing veggies or raw/roasted meats. this would retail at $300NZ
Another one off the bench today. Brisket carving set, cutting edge 10โ, beveled right to the top. Handles are cherry beech and unknown swamp timber from Taupo, carbon dated to older than my mother in law (2000+ years). G10 collars and spacers. Sold for $400NZ (ยฃ200)
Lovely 6โ filleter/trimming knife off the bench today. The handle is ringed Gidgee with red and black g10 collar and pins. This would retail at $200 or $260 New Zealand dollars with sheath.
Simple but elegant Rimu and Brass handled chef and pairing knife set finished today. As always pairing knives are just $50 when purchased alongside a kitchen chopper.
