Looks a good tool
The shape is reminiscent of the puma white hunter I owned until it was stolen. Best knife by a country mile that I ever ownedLooks a good tool
Can't I ask a daft question? It's not the type of knife I would know much about, but the spikes/serrations on the spine, what are their purpose? All I can think of is the obvious with most combat style knives, to cause as much injury as possible? Just wondering if they have any other purpose

Ah thanks mate. I have a question for you about a knife. PM inbound.....Jon, it's a saw back knife, not as good as a Laplander but it will crosscut. This is neither a military nor bushcraft knife, it is purely a survival type knife.
There is a good review by Paul Kirtley An 80s Revival: Surviving with the Dartmoor Knife
That would explain why none of my snares have ever worked then! I used old guitar strings as that's what I could get my hands on. Didn't know about the seasoning thing.One thing about that Paul Kirtley review irked me, in almost all things I would defer to his far superior knowledge but if he expects results from snares made with unseasoned brass snare wire then he is being unrealistic. All trace of oil and scent needs to be removed from the wire by a combination of repeatedly boiling it with vegetation and burying it in the ground to give it a natural scent.
