Hi Matt, I have an older version of this knife, the only difference being the handle on mine is more rectangular in shape. I have used it mainly for clearing trails and undergrowth etc. The knife is not very heavy but it does take a good edge, and even though the blade is quite thin, it makes...

Hi Chinook, Can we assume that this is just for a day out walking etc .? Cheers, Shankly

Bugger, any chance of another being made.?

I would just like to add that I think that this is an absolutely magnificient achievement that most of us would feel positiv:You_Rock_ely chuffed about making... well done, and great post. Shankly

Thanks for the reply, can I just add that I would like to echo Waylands comments, and clarify that my question was written merely out of curiosity and not meant in any kind of derogatory fashion. The work done on this website is greatly appreciated by the community as a whole, and I would hate...

Hi Tony, I was starting to get BCUK withdrawl, terrible sight for the wife and kids. However I was just wondering if the new blue font will change colour in step with the seasons, or is it going to stay for keeps.? Cheers, Rob.

For me it has to be a camping chair.. A "few" years ago now, one of my mates decided to bring one of those bad boys out to our camp, now up until that point we had all been reasonably happy to rest our hump on a stump or on the deck, so during the start of the camp the rest of us extracted the...

That is a fantastic film, :sulkoff: if only we had an Asda near us.....

Durulz, I think your absolutely right in not spending the cash on something that doesn't feel right, and I would have to agree in your summary of the knife, an axe is a technically a lot better at coping with the big stuff and a smaller blade is better to carve with, but as with all things sharp...

IIRC someone mentioned on a previous post that the reason Sheffieldknife describe it as "to MOD spec" is because they used to have the contract with the MOD. Now because they lost the tender they cannot claim to produce goods "as issued", now I may wrong, and hopefully someone can either...

Sorry Kimbo, I cant remember where I ordered mine form, I think it was a sheffield knife makers. If you do a search on "British army survival knife" you should come up with a few good sites. Just make sure its a genuine issue and not a copy, and I have just noticed the...

Oh yes, As a matter of fact I have just finished adding red liners and some ash scales to mine. A bit of over-kill as far as the re-handling was concerned but it had to be done after one of the scales was smashed off..... This was partially because I had not sanded down the original...

Just my 2pence worth but I really like these torches, only one AA battery, so a spare is easy to store, they are both small and sturdy and make my old Mag-Lite look positively medieval in comparison. In fact I like them so much that I have bought one each for my boys..:35...

Look I hate to be negative about any post but this thread brings back too many memories about basic training and the first few years of service for me, and I remember the months of washing and ironing involved before those buggers became anything near comfortable. That said, when broken in...

Thanks for that Alan, I can feel a bit of shopping coming on this evening :) Cheers, Shankly

Hi Guys, I am in need of a little guidance, I currently have 2 knives that I need to re-handle but for the projects I would like to add some red vulcanised liners, I spent about 20 mins last night trying to find a source for these beauties but the only place I could find was the...

Lovely and shiney, great grains on the handle, I must admit that I couldnt bring myself to use/abuse something that nice, it would just break my heart... It would have to be a drawer queen... Great Work, Shankly

Well my mate chopped up a piece to make kindling for the fire and I had just sawn off another piece of wood, but it was dark and I hadnt seen my mate put the cover back on - in nearly 10 years he never normally bothers, he just sticks it over a branch out of the way - however not on Saturday, he...

This weekend I "tried" to chop a piece of wood in half with my friends axe - still complete with cover - needless to say the wood remained in one piece but the axe cover didnt fare so well... My mate was very good about it and said he would gaffer tape the thing up, but I feel like a right wally...

There are some lovely pieces in there, but do you find that you get on better with some grinds than with others.? And (tough one), do you have a favourite amongst that lot, maybe one that has that "just right" feel about it, whether its the handle or the way the blade cuts.? You must have a...
