    VC Works knives

    A friend and me went on a weekend knife forging course with Rhys, he's a nice guy with a lot of knowledge. Obviously we made the knives ourselves (with a lot of input from Rhys), but the knives are holding a good edge and working well. He knows his stuff. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Hello. Im trying to get my convex knife, very sharp and would like to get a strop. Could anyone tell me whether a hanging strop or paddle strop, would be best? Thanks for any advice.

    Lundhags or alternative.

    I'm really interested in a pair of lundhag rangers, buy there is no where near me to try them on and I've heard the sizes can be a bit hit or miss. Anyone have any advice or recommend a similar alternative? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Fjallraven stubben

    I was fancying the rush 24, but I saw this and liked the look. Also fancy the greenland jacket but if it's not waterproof. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Belt with pouches

    Yeah the pentagon is very similar to what I use in work. I do like the beneath the stars leather belt. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Belt with pouches

    Does anybody here use a belt with pouches or a "utility belt". I work in a prison and have been supplied with such a belt and have found it amazingly useful. I've looked at a few of the "bushcraft" type belts, but they are £100 or more. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Swedish lk35

    I've used some seat belt material and a quick release buckle. I had them lying around the house and it took 2 minutes to put together. Can't really complain, it helps and feels comfortable. I assume a proper belt like the alice pack one mentioned above would be better for long distances/periods...

    Well I've had this rucksack for just over a week and have loaded it up and been a few miles with it. I know lots of you have or have had this rucksack, but I'm so impressed with it. It cost £17, looks like new and feels bombproof. It has a decent size single compartment and plenty of strapping...

    Hi. I'm really interested in having a go at some leather work and fancy making a blanket harness. It appears simple enough, that said it will be my first attempt so would appreciate some any tips or advice. What tools I would need, width and thickness of leather etc. Any advice is greatly...
