    The Hulk - dwarfed

    Next to my new birthday present - an bespoke made bush-craft knife - my Hulk looks rather small... both fit for purpose though!

    i'm only viewing on my phone so difficult to see, but looks like you've already shed some claret on it?

    That's the most manly photo I've ever seen.

    Here is the guy who makes the knives website http://cosmoknives.com

    super cool life style. His wife is a renowned lecturer in some subject to save the planet, lives in log cabin on Saltspring BC with family, designed and built (from scratch) his own knife making facilities. Has one employee and sells world wide, sources materials globally too. He was my wife's tenant back in the day - now has his own business! Great guy too.

    The knife is super sharp - can certainly shave with it, but probably end up cutting some vital blood supply in the process.

    Crikey guys. What do you do with those knives? Carve the Sunday roast?

    Nice present to have though Martyn. Halfway towards the total for a hulk now. Popping into Goldsmiths to check availability later today. Pumped.

    Love the Hulk and that's a fabulous photo!

    What a beautiful knife; I have been drooling over his site for the past 30 minutes.

    Watch is none too shabby either...

    Happy whittling!

    Is it me or do the bracelets on the 40mm ceramic super case sports models look weedy, like they are too small for the watch?

    Thats because of the new "box" style case of the new subs. The older ones had thinner tapering lugs.

    I can see what you mean and when photographed off wrist the taper emphasises that look - but when they are on the wrist they feel and look fine IMHO - though there has been lots of debate on the 'step' between the case and the bracelet on these newer sport models

    It's not the bracelet so much as the fit to the case compared to the shoulders that makes the bracelets appear weedy - I tried fitting the new bracelet to a 16660 and - in looks - it's the same as the old bracelet -



    But when viewed from a distance the new bracelets are fine - I think - anyway.
