Found an ad for this lot in one of teh shooting mags I get; http://premierlight.co.uk/Newsite/producstbuy.htm Seem very good prices, just wondered if anyone had any info on them. Cheers Dave

Should add, it's a mossgiel type one I'm looking for at worst case I'd take a 103(original). Thanks for looking

Hi Folks, I got this a couple of months ago with the intention of using it when I go out shooting, haven't used it yet, just sat in the car! The knife comes boxed, with leather pouch, sharpening stone as shown. Images here...

Hi, Think I have a 4 pack, unopened if they are any use to you. Let me know Dave

Hi Folks, In response to JohnnyP - most of you can probably guess my solution, considering my screen name. But as Locum has already stated, he doesn't/won't/can't use this solution. Cheers Dave

Hi Folks, please bear in mind that releasing a pest onto someone else's property is an offence. Depending on numbers they can travel as much as 26 mile a night. By removing & relocating one you would just be creating a space for another if there is a large population in your area. If a fox...

I used my 'home made' forge - big cooking pot with hole cut in, wok on top with holes & coals. The wife' old hair dryer as an air source. I heat up coals & blades until no magnetism (tested using a welding magnet) then oil quench, once cool & burnt oil removed I then use a blow torch until...

Thanks Wayland, just been lost browsing your site. Excellent stuff. Very interested in the barrel knife, tell me more. Cheers Dave

I was gutted when the last one snapped, I had just done all the filework on the spine. A sort of apprentice piece if you will. Tried to straighten it in a vice with 3 bits of welding rod as rollers - just one tweak too many.

Hi Folks, I thought I'd share some of the knives that I have made. Mrs nicked this one Unfortunately this last one snapped when I tried to straighten it after forging, mind you, it was only 3mm thick. They have all been made using 01 flatstock, forged & hardened...

Thanks for pointing that out Simon, I must have missed it. Took mw 4 days to convert my old site to this new one. Bound to be a few things I've missed. All sorted now though Cheers Dave

Hi, afraid not Woodstock, my recent back injury negates that. Although I do regularly shoot & try to "maintain" the rabbit population. Mind you, shooting pheasant has never really been my thing. All the best Dave. P.S. Thank you all for the compliments.
