    The old Britishblades forum

    Still here, very occasionally. I only have a small collection of knives now, mostly SAK's. In the BB days I must have had a collection that cost me a couple of grand, maybe more, over the years.

    Blade Help

    I'm very proud to say I received this knife from Mozzy yesterday. :) We had discussed various options for the knife a while ago, and the scale material became the last sticking point. I'm not a big fan of 'fancy' wood and as this is going to get used a lot I took a lot of pursuading to go...

    swc knives

    Hi Halo, I bought one of SWC's knife kits a couple of months ago. Since I finished it, it's the only knife I've used :) . The instructions with it were clear and concise, the quality of the blade is excellent and despite it being my first full tang, I was able to produce a very nice knife...
