Funnily enough, S.139a actually states "Any person who has an article to which section 139 of this Act applies with him on school premises........." So in the true tradition of our carelessly worded laws (written by buffoons), it is legal to take a sub 3" folding pocket knife to school, without...

Even the government don't understand the law, quote from direct.gov.uk ‘Knife crime’ is any crime that involves a knife. This can include: * carrying or trying to buy a knife if you’re under 18 You'd think they would at least try to get it right, rather than trying to imply that...

Not exactly bushcraft, but if you have an interest in knives, the Japanese sword display at the British museum is something you won't forget.

I'll second sending it back to Barbour. A few years ago I went out fishing when I was staying with the in-laws, when I got back I hung up my treasured old Barbour Solway to dry in their garage. It had nicely aged, lost it's new shine, and developed a nice "patina". Unfortunately the mother in...

Nice to see a knife being put to its intended use, rather than sitting in a drawer.

Cragghoppers are good, especially if you get them at the regular sale price, check their website they sometimes have clearouts, or TK Maxx.

Come back BB..................I miss you :sadwavey:

I don't think it's a "Mora" brand, but made in the town of Mora. Also, the laminated steel will bump the price up.

Thanks Mike, they come with some good but simple advice about rust prevention, ie clean dry & oil them after use. They won't be neglected!

Just got these from Michael Morris, a Friction Folder & a Profiler fixed blade. I'm more into general outdoors/camping than proper bushcraft, so not being the world's leading authority on the subject, how do you think the Profiler would cope with the bushy stuff? It's an absolute tank of a knife!

I have a Buffalo windcheater jacket, not a mountain shirt (zip up front, styled like your bog standard fleece jacket), I find it works best with just a thermal T shirt underneath. Plenty warm enough as long as you're active. Sounds strange, but if I put a fleece jumper on as well, it doesn't...

Thanks Mike, much as I thought. Out of interest, how do you go about blueing the blade?

Been browsing for quite a while, just felt the need to register yesterday thanks to withdrawal pains from BB.

Hi all, Just wandered over here yesterday when British Blades was down.... I've just ordered a Michael Morris profiler fixed blade (michaelmorrisknives.com) Anyone use these for bushcraft? He makes them from W1 or W2 steel files, just wondering about corrosion resistance (although I don't...

Just wandered over here when British Blades was down yesterday. Looks good so far!
