    Legendary knives

    Just thought I'd start this little thread, about knives that, in your opinion, have shaped the way we think about knives and the outdoors, in particular, bushcraft and woodcraft. Might also be useful for people looking for something new, or a very brief review as to why I think they are...

    Kit on your keyring

    Just been looking at my keyring and thought about what I carry on it. I have a maglite solitaire and a p-38 tin opener on one of my keyrings (I would have a small sak as well, but I've managed to mislay both of them in my room!), and I want to get a squirt p4 for it as well. My sak is almost a...

    The king of stoves?
