The odyssey of the design to manufacture and choices involved are detailed.

Blade is best described as a hybrid cross between skinning and boning blades so the SKONER™ is a trade mark.

Draws on the very successful Mercator spearpoint, on the wider SKONER™blade shifting that point higher creating both more belly with good point so it can accomplish the same fast efficient opening cut through the skin by penetrating near the foot and driving the blade toward the body using the curved spine to ride on the muscle and the skin separated by force of action rides up on the belly of the AUS10 fine edge and efficiently cut though. The separation of skin and muscle protects the muscle sheath from being sliced as the point isn’t digging into the muscle like a clip point or even a typical drop point, a sackable offence on a station in the old days as they didn’t like thier roast leaking the juices plus it’s faster than the ribbon or pinch the skin lift and slice methods (specifically for avoiding meat cutting) which is why millions of possums were easily opened up and skinned using the penetrate way with Mercators.

The blade has belly for skinning work with point for boning work plus everyday general work so all are combined in a blade. It is a direct iteration of the German Linder Super Sharp that is no longer available and we have bought it back at a better price in the ALLHONE® SKONER® also similar to the Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter an iteration of the Lloyd’s Pendleton Hunter.

Blade’s spine near point has been raised higher by 1.5mm than the jimping to improve maneuverability while doing penetrating cuts giving it a slightly raised “nose ” like appearance. This is an improvement on the popular drop point.

Blade is 86mm length and edge extends 89mm. Plunge line shifted all the way to the liner so you will not have that extra steel stock in the way as you resharpen it in the future. 26mm wide for many years of use and 3mm thick with the blade profile angle slightly higher for strength and more steel at the point for strength.

AUS10 is a little more expensive out of Japan and selected over budget tricky to temper well D2 due to AUS10 performing with improved toughness. The SKONER® point showed it is positively stronger to resist point snapping during comparison tests involving simply stabing the point into NZ pine and break the wood out with samples and Honey Badgers whereas the D2 fails unless it has a thicker point and expertly treated like the fixed blade MANLY D2 Eagle.

The AUS10 heat and cryo treated at 59hrc the same as Cold Steel does and it re-sharpens to a finer edge than the D2 without fine edge chipping issues that D2 is known for.

AUS10 known for better edge retention than 14c28n so including better ductile strength than D2 is an obvious choice for us and why a company such as Cold Steel has been using it recently. AUS 10 is not a new super steel, it is one of the best value steel and allrounder for use in common tasks.

Cryogenic treatment means it has been cooled by freezing using liquid nitrogen as the cryogen to reduce stress from manufacturing and improve steel toughness and wear resistance.Youtube knife tester Cedric devoted time cutting rope with the same AUS10 treatment and it did very well. Likely due to not micro chipping so not snagging on the paper. AUS10 has a finer grain.

A 13cm fixed blade version will use VG10 which is very similar for edge retention during cutting. Both the Aus10 and VG10 are as close to the original Japanese ATS34 on the German Linder Supersharp as we could get for a good combination of edge cutting retention plus toughness so the point is strong enough for normal outdoor and cutting use.

We recommend our 10 degree sharpener combined with blade planar produces 14 degree approx angle edge per side.

SKONER® uses similar crossbar blade lock system of more expensive Benchmade folders except we extended the crossbar slightly so it’s able to more easily grip and flick open the blade. This lock type has no chance of accidental disengagement like back-locks or liner-locks while used and been proven the strongest by various testers.

No thumb stud on the blade to interfere with re-sharpening, instead a thumb nail slot is provided for opening the blade that matches the shape of the finger recess curve of the handle providing CNC machined tough and grippy G10 scales.

G10 scales are milled for good grip and connecting screws onto the skeletonized stainless steel liners are all the same T8 Torx size so zero need for 2 Allen keys and made bigger so harder to lose compared to the miniature ones provided with other brands. Screws for the clip and G10 are not custom so are available off the shelf at screw suppliers if lost.

Supplied with a pocket clip shaped for comfortable grip for left and right carry with the opposing screw holes filled with screws adding strength for the handle heel when in use for punching off the skin. The clip is shifted forward so it is not impacted and screwed on with two plunge type screws to prevent loose movement and screw heads are level with the clip surface.

Stone washed metal parts so it won’t show up scratches as much as polished and less reflective.

Thumb grip jimping is extended for better use and rounded for comfort.

Blades are nice and centred, not thrown off centre of like the liner locks by the spring liner.

Recommend running little sloppy for flick opening. We used 2 bronze phosphorous washers which we know isn’t quite as fast vs ball bearing washers for opening but we also know they cannot loose balls from use so are more durable.

ALLHONE PIONEER

ALLHone PIONEER 10Cr15CoMoV 60hrc cryogenic treated hybrid skinning boning blade with a really wicked 14 degree edge per side due to the high cobalt content for improving forging and cryogenic treatment to reduce stress and improve blade toughness. WIll outcut Victorinx, Victory , Swibo etc 3 to 1

Designed and made by an NZ hunter and shepherd with a hybrid skinning and boning 13cm blade length to please shepherds to hunters and chefs.

Optionally supplied with it’s own molded secure Kydex sheath

ALLHONE unique REPLACEABLE durable PERFECT GRIP handle by removing the pin and putting on new handle for generations of use with linear external grip pattern for easy clean and textured for the best grip.

AVAILABLE AT www.bootsangear.com

We have put our unique made in NZ handle through repetitive hot wash dishwasher cycles and hammered it with 24 oz steel hammer with hatch pattern without damage to the handle..seeing is believing

In a fair test our PIONEER 10Cr15CoMoV 60hrc cryogenic treated blade beat D2 from China and Europe and Victorinox Swibo 3 to 1for edge retention .

The handle exposed in a very secure Kydex sheath for quick grip. We guarantee the sheath will not rattle nor will the knife fall out. Sheath has large hole at the point for drainage and cleaning shown in images.

Handle is created from a higher impact polymer than polypropylene used in Victorinox handles etc. and is textured for an improved grip surface and the blade is an internal tang to reduce weight and no freezing steel like a full tang on the frosty days.

Handle has no protruding butt for more agility and the user is able to nimbly sling it aound in the hand to change fast from one grip to another grip to cut in another direction. Makes it more compact and in the Kydex sheath option without the belt loop attached it can be carried in trouser pocket.

Able to attach handle onto a stick by passing cordage through the hollow pin that retains the blade in the handle and bind the handle so it can be used as a spear for out there adventurers.

Choice of a novel sheath with re-sharpening stone or a Kydex sheath and the option of a durable coated handle for a super grip handle which is replaceable as well. How many world firsts is that?

The separation of skin and muscle protects the muscle sheath from being sliced as the point isn’t digging into the muscle like a clip point or even a typical drop point, a sackable offence on a station in the old days as they didn’t like their roast leaking the juices plus it’s faster than the ribbon or pinch the skin lift and slice methods which is why millions of possums were easily opened up and skinned using the penetrate way with Mercators.

It is a direct iteration of the German Linder Super Sharp that is no longer available and we have bought it back at a better price in the ALLHONE® SKONER® also similar blade profile to the Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter an iteration of the Lloyd’s Pendleton Hunter.

Blade’s spine near point has been raised higher by 1.5mm than the jimping to improve manoeuverability while doing penetrating cuts giving it a slightly raised “nose ” like appearance. This is an improvement on the popular drop point.

Blade is an impressive 130mm length and edge extends. Plunge line shifted all the way to the liner to remove extra steel stock in the way as it’s resharpen it in the future, 26mm wide for many years of use and 3mm thick with the blade profile angle slightly higher for strength and more steel at the point for strength.

10Cr15CoMoV is a high quality blade steel, usually resold as VG10. Selected over D2 due to 10Cr15mov performing with improved toughness. The SKONER™ PIONEER point didn’t snap in simple pine wood stabbing and levering comparison tests whereas the D2 fails unless it has a thicker stronger point and expertly treated like MANLY or the famous Bob Dozier.

The 10Cr15CoMoV heat and cryo treated at 60hrc and it re-sharpens to a finer edge than the D2 without fine edge chipping issues that D2 is known for.

To sum up a comparison with other common steels, the 10Cr15CoMoV edge retention is better than 14c28n and including better ductile strength than D2 the 10Cr15CoMoV is one of the best value steel choices and a good allrounder for use in most common tasks.

It is comparable to VG10;

Chemical Element	10Cr15CoMoV (%)	VG-10 (%)	Element Function
Carbon (C)	1.05	1.00	Increases hardness, edge retention, and wear resistance. Critical for forming hard carbides.
Chromium (Cr)	15.50	15.00	Provides stainless properties and corrosion resistance. Forms protective oxide layer and contributes to steel hardness.
Cobalt (Co)	1.50	1.50	Improves heat treatability, and thermal stability, and increases strength at high temperatures.
Molybdenum (Mo)	1.20	1.00	Enhances hardenability, machinability, and pitting resistance. Helps steel harden during manufacturing.
Vanadium (V)	0.30	0.25	Refines grain structure and increases toughness and wear resistance. Forms hard carbides that improve edge retention.

The extra Cobalt in 10Cr15CoMoV improves the forging end product leaving it more ductile, flexible less prone to chips and point snaps like the D2 is prone for. So you can also lower the edge angle so we made the 10 degree sharpener for it. A little extra vanadium improves edge retention.

Cryogenic treatment means it has been cooled by freezing using liquid nitrogen as the cryogen to reduce stress from manufacturing and improve steel toughness and wear resistance.

Video youtube tester Cedric test came out same as Aus10, 10Cr15mov and Vg10 all in the same group.

Stainless, less prone to rust or tarnish its easier to care for than D2.

The 10Cr15CoMoV, Aus10 and VG10 are as close to the original Japanese ATS34 on the German Linder Supersharp as we could get for a good combination of edge cutting retention plus toughness so the point is strong enough for normal outdoor and cutting use.

ALLHone twin diamond straight edge sharpener , NZ patent.

Bright easy to find orange and pocket sized only approx. 14 cm long. 65 gms.

Stones are replaceable. Using the blade edge inserted between convex shaped end of the worn out stone and the extended portion of the handle and lever off the worn stone. Insert the blade point near the corner of the replacement stone adhesive layer backing, lift the backing and peel the backing off and press the new stone onto the handle.

ALLHONE SPEED SHARPENERNZ Patent with replaceable diamond stones approx. 75mm x 30mm adhered to the handle body by a double-sided adhesive tape that will not detach after washing, contact with water or heat from sun. Levered loose by placing the knife edge between a convex bevel provided at the end of the sharpener with an adjacent ledge used as the fulcrum.

So when one stone wears out you don’t need to throw away the whole tool. Replacement stones link below.

ALLHONE SPEED SHARPENER angle handle has 10 degree opposing flat surfaces that consistently align a blade angle and this speeds up resharpening.

400 /1200 grit for hunting, farming 1200/3000 for maintaining fine edges, aiming for shaving sharp edges.

Not sure that you are resharpening at the best angle every time? This tool fixes this problem without the need of complicated devices to help you achieve a consistent resharpening angle and save time in the process instead wasting time removing shoulder steel instead of sharpening the actual edge angle.

Suits our SKONER and PIONERR blades perfectly for the sane ex factory 14 degree angle both sides of 28 degree combined angle.Bechmade top end blades are known to use the same 14 degree angle.

For thinner spines such as 2mm common buther knives form Victory, Victorinox, Swibo etc simply slightly lift the spine away from the 10 degree angle planar until you are at your prefered angle. This is way more accurate method than guessing without a reference.

Wet the stone surface and lay flat side of the blade onto to the flat handle surface adjacent to the coarse diamond stone to set the angle for sharpening the blade edge and move the blade edge on the coarse stone’s surface in a rotational motion and relay the blade onto the angled flat handle surface every so often to re-align the degree and repeat motion both sides until the edge is created.

Swap sides often and stop when sharp to avoid creating a burr from over sharpening.

Speed Sharpener Strop 10 deg for 3mm+ blade spines, 12.5 for 2mm approx

ALLHONE Angle SPEED SHARPENER STROP NZ PATENT. This is the one for sharpest edge.

Autosol works the best on the leather available from any car parts dealers

You are only as sharp as the fine grade of the grit. So this uses extremly fine compound such as those green waxy compound blocks and autosol etc. So you get more polished edge and sharper to the extremely scary state. Load the leather up with that and it will polish the edge in less tham a minute.

Pocket sized only approx. 14 cm long. 65 gms with a replaceable 1000 grit stone plus a replaceable leather strop with leather surface to be used with honing compound to polish the edge sharper than with stones.

ALLHONE SPEED STROP NZ Patent with replaceable diamond stone approx. 75mm x 30mm adhered to the handle body by a double-sided adhesive tape that will not detach after washing, contact with water or heat from sun. Levered loose by placing the knife edge between a convex bevel provided at the end of the sharpener with an adjacent ledge used as the fulcrum. So when one stone wears out you don’t need to throw away the whole tool.

ALLHONE SPEED STROP angle handle has opposing flat surfaces that consistently align a blade angle and this speeds up resharpening.

ALLHone 123 ARROW SAW SYSTEM

All designed and made in New Zealand.

Replaces three arrow tools;

1/ check arrow shafts for true tolerance by rotating in the cradles and sort accordingly

2/ cut arrows

3/ sand cut end @ 90 degrees.

Friction force retains three arrow cradles along the aluminum rectangular tube and a respective screw provides adjustment maintaining alignment position during cutting.

Three aligned cradles provide supporting points of contact reducing arrow flex to produce a more precise cut.

As the dremel type saw cutting discs wears down the user skilled in the art re-aligns the arrow cradles at a new cutting position so the arrow end is cut at 90 degrees and the full radius length of the disc is able to be used as it gradually wears down from cutting erosion.

The arrow cradles are also able to be used to check and sort for straight arrow shaft tolerances by rotating the shaft while held in the respective cradles and gauging the arrow’s end movement.

The end cradle includes a slot for holding a piece of sanding material/ sand paper for creating a perfect 90 degree arrow end by rotating the arrow shaft in contact with the abrasive surface until a perfect 90 degree end is produced.

The arrow end may also be finished by orientating the arrow end in contact with the cutting disc flat surface while the motor is running to lightly abrade and smooth the end to 90 degrees.

Further advantages of the versatile 123 ALLHone saw system are a dremel type saw is mounted as illustrated by images showing the Ozito saw in situ and clamped and is also easily detachable so the saw is available for many other engineering duties instead of compared to other arrow saws whereby the saw motor is unusable for other work.

The 123 ARROW saw clamp has one 5mm hole throughout opposing feet and is able to be screwed or clamped down onto a bench and conveniently used for other work.

The parts are precisely slidably arranged upon a 30mm by 20mm rectangular aluminium tube that is supplied with.

The middle cradle bases are higher than the end supports so they are slidable.

Ozito saw motor not supplied is available at many builder and tool suppliers for less than $100 with accessories.

ALLHone arrow fletcher

arrow fletcher

ll designed and made in New Zealand.

Will fletch helical (right hand and left hand)and straight vanes up to 3 inches Let us know your prefered type. Each set of extra three arms is only $5.

A screw combined with a lock nut extends through the handle and provides lockable adjustment for where you want to adhere the vanes onto the shaft’s elongated axis.

The end of the screw provides a rectangular protrusion available for slotting into the arrow’s knock within the handle and the arrow can also be fitted without the knock or pin.

A slidable collar with a tensioning nut is disposed adjacent to where the shaft is inserted into the handle aligns the three vane holding arms and functions by manually shifting the collar forward so the collar guides and folds the three arms into position and the vanes are in contact with the arrow shaft.

Once the vane holding arms are in place a cap that is flared is slid over the arrow and ends of the vane holding arms and this locks the arms in place providing contact pressure for the vanes to adhere.

The cap and the slidable collar tensioned by the nut pressures the vanes onto the arrow surface creating the best bond.

The arms clip in and out of the handle and easily can be swapped from helical to straight fletching arms.

ALLHone 6 QUIVER MULTI GRIP

Bow quiver fits any limb and designed and made in New Zealand. Holds up to 6 arrows. Three optional red flexible arrow clamps designed to fit most outer diameter of arrows.

The red or grey Arrow clamps are interchangeable by manual removal from the clamp holder by pressing the replacement into the clamp holder until the groves fit the lips that securely retain the arrow clamp in place during all forms of archery activity and possible falls during hunting.

Quiet and does not upset the bow for accuracy.

Weighs only a mere 120 gms.

Built very strong with flexible PETG polymer.

Brackets moveable parts have rubber for grip and clamp the limb and have opposing pairs of hooks connecting onto tough elastic TPU straps that are manually tensioned around the respective limb adjacent to the riser and will not slip even after extensive target use at the range. Easily removed from the bow and re-attached.

Each bracket screws directly into the arrow point basket and opposing arrow shaft holder allowing for exact adjustment of angle so all parts are perfectly aligned with the arrow shafts. Rotational movement is resisted by rubber washers. Do not over tension.

Works for both right hand and left handers by switching the brackets around.

TPU staps available in black or orange colour. These are tough elastic straps made for hitching things onto bike frames and packs for carrying extra gear. So for a few arrows they are overly strong and are readily available from most shops or online if ever a replacement is needed.
