Hi I have a plain untreated leather sheath and some teak oil (left over from redoing an air rifle stock). Can I use the teak oil on the sheath or would it damage / rot it? Oil off a blade seems ok on leather so I thought I might be able to use this oil on leather. Thanks.

I will have the type 4 please. PM about to be sent.

Good review, so good I just bought one (with a leather sheath). But what does white vinegar do to the blade? Stop it rusting?

Nice and festive picture. I would zoom as well, it is sometimes a better close up by utilizing zoom and being a bit further away (if that makes sense). It is difficult not automatically getting as close as possible because that seems the most sensible way to get a close up shot.

Apologies if I have chosen the wrong forum. Essex Wildlife Trust do a few one day bushcraft courses that look ideal for beginners, as well as wild food 1/2 day courses, and wild photography etc (wild food & photography taught by Kris of Greenman Bushcraft). I have put down for the...

I have always liked the country side, woods, fresh air, rain, etc but only very recently realised that bushcraft could be a great way to learn new skills and enjoy living with nature, rather than just off it. In my early 50's I have come to this a bit late in life (and know little about...

Hello, I live in SE Essex, am early 50's, and have only recently started thinking about some sort of emergency/bushcraft training. One problem for me has been that some survivalist mentality seen in other countries is extreme to say the least, another was that I could not work out what...
