    Coarse grinding stone?

    I'm not altering the bevel just maintaining the bevel that the knife comes with. I'm not trying to weasel out of anything! I have experimented, picked one and learnt it! I can maintain an edge on a knife with a water stone and strop! I was just asking for recommendations as to which stone or...

    Thanks Macaroon and Hillbill. I have been eyeing those four sided diamond blocks - they might do the trick :)

    Coarse grinding stone?

    Hi All, I have a 1000/6000 combi Japanese water stone that I use for sharpening the Mora knives that I use with my scout troop. Sometimes I need to remove more metal and need something coarser than 1000 to get the bevel de-knicked! Could anyone recommend a stone or another method to enable me to...

    What would you have done with the rat?

    I'm a vegetarian and I would have killed it! :o Mice and rats need to stay out of the way then they won't get killed. I had to kill a rabbit on a scout and cub hike. It was dying from myxomatosis and no one else could face putting it out of its misery. Step up the vegetarian!!

    Zinc oxide tape

    Thanks for the top tip ph1572. I ended up buying some Metolius brand Zinc oxide tape. But I will try some Leukotape next time.

    looking for a first aid field guide

    I have got this book which is excellent and endorsed by St John Ambulance, St Andrew's First Aid and the British Red Cross. Its a bit heavy for back packing but is ideal for base camp. I will definitely be packing it for cub and scout camps. Its published by DK which means the pages are stitched...

    Knot Booklet

    Wow, what a cracking book. I have a lot of knot books to compare to as well! The diagrams are faultless. I will definitely be using this with my Scout troop and Cub pack. Thanks for sharing.

    Zinc oxide tape

    Moleskin is great but I am a vegetarian and therefore morally opposed to the skinning of moles :)

    Zinc oxide tape

    The hydrocolloid plasters are brilliant that's for sure. I use the Compeed ones and they have never failed. The zinc tape I am after is without the padding, just plain tape for attaching dressings, strapping sprains and blister hot spot protection............ oh and adding grip to hockey sticks!!

    Zinc oxide tape

    Ouch!:( Blisters are what I am trying to avoid. Instead of just buying some I have foolishly started reading reviews and now can't make up my mind. As kiltedpict points out not all zinc tape is created equal. Hopefully someone will be able to recommend one that they have found reliable.
