    Hi from Liverpool.

    Hello and welcome. Really curious...Have you found us while on holiday? You say you are from Liverpool, but your access IP consistently comes back as New Zealand. :confused3:

    GOOD WOODS FOR BOW DRILL.

    I like elder or sycamore maple hearth, elder or sycamore drill. Didn't get on with alder, birch. Haven't tried willow, never had ivy big enough at the same time as thinking about hearths. Novel bearing block, on advice of Mors: Black poplar bark! not as long lasting as stone, but much better...

    Heads up - VAT and fees on second hand tools from Republic of Ireland

    Just had to swallow a bitter and unexpected pill. £20.50 VAT and £8 handling on a £105 second hand purchase sent from the Republic of Ireland. I suppose I should have known, but I have never bought second hand from outside the UK before and I wasn't paying attention to where the sale was...

    Bushcraft Knife - Joker vs Casstrom?

    The Joker, because I like Micarta and stainless and have not tried 14c28n, and it is cheaper. I have a Lars Falt folder in birch and the finish on the wood feels non existent. Although, if you wanted a closer race, you could have asked about the Casstrom Swedish Forest knife No10. Swedish...

    My reason for being on Bushcraft - my late husband's extensive knife collection - my position

    I gotta say, I am very curious how you have managed to sell, and ship, knives to the USA. Some years back I had a high value knife to send to the US and was turned down by DHL, FedEx and UPS and used Parcel Force, who now do not carry knives. Who have you used? This topic has come up here...

    New joiner in the New Forest

    Hello PostmanP, Welcome to the forum. Mesquite beat me to it! Regarding PMs. All new members' first few posts (five I believe) must be manually approved by a moderator before they appear on the forum. Once that threshold is reached, the member is able to initiate conversations by PM. I will...

    Anyone know anything about Curtiss Knives ?

    Have you found your way to https://edgematters.uk/ ? They might be a better place to sell these high end folders. You have to register to view the site, and you have to pay to sell, but I would say it is worth it given what you are trying to do. The Curtis in the first picture is a match for...

    For Sale Selection of CaseXX Knives all in unused condition

    Email address removed. It is not wise to post email addresses on the open forum, it is a good way to get more spam/phishing emails on the account. You can arrange your forum preferences so you get an email when people reply to a thread or when they send you a private message on the forum...

    Worth a punt

    https://heinnie.com/gerber-mansfield-slip-joint-folding-knife/ Call me impatient, but I will try Google (or other search engine) for pictures, just highlight the name of whatever in the post, right click and click on whatever "search web" sort of option is offered. Heinnie shows blade length...

    Small Tarp

    Alpkit Rig 3.5, but not camo. If you want the ultimate light camo, you may need to sew your own. Light camo silpoly isn’t cheap.

    Finding a suitable spot at night

    Its a bit like asking "what is the best way to choose a supermarket to shop at". @lachat, you talk about long distance driving to Spain, wild camping, CQC and survival. Is this use of a bivvy initially going to be recreational, somewhere in wilder country, or are you looking at how to sleep...

    Finding a suitable spot at night

    There are more places suitable for a bivvy than there are places to leave a car while you are using said bivvy.

    Help- I don’t love my bolts.

    I would rather try to glue shim material between handle and blade than try to tighten bolts, which I do not believe will be possible for you. You would need to grind/cut slots in the blots, deep enough to get a screw driver to bite. That would be a Dremel and cutting wheel type job, and it...

    SWC Ray Mears Woodlore

    What do you call "recent"? I would have thought that anything from 2018 onwards was reasonable example, and the last three years definitely. Prices don't tend to rise and fall that fast or much for these things...

    Tarp tie out points

    Paracord is pretty soft stuff, it is wide. I use much thinner, harder cord, and not had a cutting problem yet. I expect that it depends on how much use the tarp gets, how much flapping in does, how dirty the lines/loops are and whether you tie using a loop through the loop that allows relative...

    Sold Woodworking - Stanley No 78 Rabbet / Rebate plane

    Lots on ebay in a similar price range. I priced a little low to encourage sale, most on ebay want to add postage on top of asking price.
