Try your local farmer's co-op. I've seen something similar there with a wood handle. It may have been bigger but similar shape.

Thanks for the link. They have the CS Kukri (had to search for it) and also a Cold Steel version of the Canadian Belt Knife for $16. More 'finds!' Don't tell DW. ;-)

This is where I bought my Kukri, and I just ordered the cold steel ultimate hunter through them as well. My Kukri came within a week and my only complaint was that of the cold steel logo sticker which they stuck to the blade of the knife( it was a real b#t%& to get off. Happy shopping!!

I love the selection they have! I've always wanted the Tom Brown Tracker but she'd kill me!

Some of the prices aren't that great despite 'new lower pricing'. Buck 119 special for 80 bucks?...I payed $25 at a Walmart in Montana.

If you can get them up there, there are several products I've run across to help with this. De-gums-it, Goo-gone, or de-solve-it. All three are a slightly oily, sorta citrus smelling, yellow liquid. Its some sort of petroleum distillate.

I use Goo-gone and it works like a charm. The bottle doesn't say exactly what's in it just that it contains hydrocarbons and d-lemone whatever that is.

I think Buck makes two versions of the 119. A USA made version and a cheaper Chinese made version. I know they do that with their folders. Their chinese made trapper is half the price of the USA made one.

Well it doesn't say 'made in' but it does say USA on the blade. I know Buck makes cheap made in china knives...I own one (and it IS cheap) but I'm not sure this is one of them. According to the Buck site there's 2 version of the 119 but the only difference is one has a brass butt and cocobolo handles...and it retails for over $100 US.

Knife prices in Canada are just screwed up...like so many other things right now (books for example)

I paid just over $30 for my Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife in the US. Here I've seen it as high as $70. Even with our dollar being so strong the cheapest I've seen it is about $48 and that's only very recently.

Same goes for my Gerber Freeman S30V Hunter. It's a Cabela's exclusive and I paid about the same as I would here for the Freeman Hunter that's just normal Gerber Stainless.

I paid $99 for my Gerber LMF II (again in the US) and here the cheapest I've seen it is $180!!!

There's actually some interesting reading on that knifezone website about why knives aren't cheaper in Canada even though our dollar is worth more than the US dollar. Not sure how true it is but it's interesting.

LOL.

Here's another one. knifezone sells my Victorinox Cybertool 34 for $101. I paid $80 at the MEC about 8 or more years ago...and the price hasn't changed to this day.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not knocking knifezone. In fact I'm considering some Cold Steel stuff today.

Just do your research folks.

I'm guessing its some sort of oil from the peel.
