    Recommend me a Butchery / skinning knife...?

    I think you could tweak the thread title. Butchery knives are not quite the same as hunting or skinning knives. For a butchery knife how about FALLKNIVEN F2Z, F3Z, F4Z https://heinnie.com/fallkniven-f4z Or https://heinnie.com/benchmade-15500-04-meatcrafter-od-santoprene-fixed-blade/

    Film recommendation

    The Departed is a poor copy of a much better film. Infernal Affairs Open Range. Western, Robert Duval, Kevin Costner. Other westerns worth a watch, Hidalgo, Wyatt Earp, Appaloosa. Liked Tombstone, Silverado, the Dollars duo and TGTB&TU. If you appreciate good tactics and fire arm handling in...

    Field solution to snapped knife?

    Propper mechanical sympathy goes a very long way to not needing a full tang. If you are heavy handed enough you can break full tangs too. If you are just out for a jolly, I would be very reluctant to do a field fix. But, the ones described would be how I would do it. Blunt on a stone...

    Ebuyer

    While I did not find that Reddit convincing, 2 year old thread, two negative experiences posted, I found this review page more negative than, but had not heard of them and there were still only a few hundred reviews, which is low considering Ebuyer is said to be the largest UK retailer of...

    Ebuyer

    I used them years ago for buying the bits to build my PC. Didn’t have a problem with the then. @Pattree , where did you find the reviews you mention? They would have been my first stop when I need to build a computer to replace mine to run Windows 11. Don’t think I have had recent experience...

    Howdy from deep in the southern cascade mountains, OR

    Hello and welcome to the forum! That’s quite the entrance…. No Earl if anywhere…but we have a fierce wee Scottish bouncer on staff will put you straight. :beerchug: I am curious about the skin grips, both how well the resin works to hold them together, but also on how comfortable and...

    Reeve style fixed blade.

    There was a thread. https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/hollow-handled-knives.156222/ As it is not a style I like and I have been greatly unimpressed with the functionality of the Reeves knives I have handled, it isn’t something I know much about. I don’t tend to read or look at threads...

    The Durston X Dome 1+ Pass around and review thread.

    I don’t think I have ever seen any piece of gear, much less a tent, that has had so many reviews, both written and YouTube in such a short space of time as I have seen for the Durston X-Dome 1+. I have tried to avoid looking at many before I got to see the tent myself. Part of the brief was to...

    All My Gear Is Gone

    Sorry. My bad humour. I can’t remember when I first met Tengu in person…many years ago now. She has always made eclectic contributions to the Moot bring and buys, and often offers unexpected items for trade. Always enthusiastic about finding new homes for things she has salvaged which could...
