The English company Jack Pyke have recently unveiled and released three new knives to there catalogue. They are collectively known as the Platinum Range. All models are very different, in that one is a single bladed folder, one is a tri-bladed folder and the third in the range is a fixed blade knife, known as the Bushcraft.

All of the platinum range of knives come packaged in a metal presentaion case. The knife sits in a purpose made foam cut holder. If you lift this out you find the sheath and a life time guarantee. The presentation of the range is excelent and puts quite a few very expensive knives to shame.

The Bushcraft has a 440 stainless steel full tang blade which has been finished with a bead blast. this results in the blade having a smooth matt grey aperance. The blade has a swedge grind on the end
which has the effect of lightening the tip, which in turn places the knives balance point at around the lower scale fastener.

The handle has been formed from a very hard synthetic material which is very tough indeed and has been finished with an English oak pattern.

Lastly we have the sheath. Its made from a reinforced nylon with an English oak pattern. This I believe to be very long lasting. The knife is retained in place with a traditional press stud fastener.
