Puma does one. https://www.pumaknives.de/en/hunting-knives/hunting-pocket-knives/905/puma-sgb-warden-with-saw-jacaranda?srsltid=AfmBOopK3SquJKRXqabJ5QwCHuYQJjBy5mWHpSW-qwmsZOnEq569Cn-6#fa66f6993f8734f86ff497fa73e57045

I have a large stockman with the yellow plastic scales that I use as a general purpose knife around the house. I thought I'd try it out and get a nicer one if I liked the pattern. The different blade types are very useful. Now it's not perfect. The spring on the spey blade is a little weak...

Looks pretty cool. Is it a lumberjack?

@slowworm we're in Wexford now. Started out in Dublin, but been happier here the last year and a half. This morning I woke up to everything frozen... black ice on the pavement and a white garden. So nevermind the original post. I guess it's just been a bit later than the last few years. Haha

This is my 4th winter in Ireland, so not 100 percent sure if this winter is normal. The first 3 we had a lot of cold, some snow and a lot frost over December into January. This year has been very mild by comparison. Comparatively there have been maybe 3 mornings where we had frost so far and...

I don't actually bushcraft much. I spend most of my outdoor time walking or fishing. In both cases I like practicing carving primitive traps on down time. Most places where I am don't allow fires either. So I just practice that at home (read making a fire for the stove as difficult as possible)...

I have a key (one), a Victorinox Rally and an oLite i3E EOS. That's it and I use everything there. We share a car, so the car fob is with whoever has the car.

Following this with interest. Very difficult to find anything dry here, especially in winter. Unless planned ahead I think often the only option would be to split a piece of dry wood and make a fine feather stick. Or birch bark if there is any. I'll look out from cramp balls to give that try...

I have two and like them a lot. A stainless lynx 131 and a lynx black edition which is the same steel (80crV2) as the one you show there. I think the 80crv2 models are laurin metalli blades, but stand to be corrected. I like my stainless one more than black edition because of minor...

I have the same issue. Everything has a Liberal coating of 3 in 1 when hung up. Other stuff goes in a waterproof plastic container with lots of silica gel packets. Annoying problem... I can't keep rust off my hand planes, even with a lot of oil... saws are fine for some reason. Wonder if damp...

I've been watching the UK version of alone, and they're obviously struggling with food. Now I see some of them have a gill net on a log set up and some of them have a random trap set. They also spend a bit of time fishing a hand line. Maybe they have more going on but it doesn't look like it...

I like that joker. To be fair it comes in a flat and a scandi. I think it's a flat in the pics isn't it? The more I look at the Victorinox, the more I like it... but the cheapskate in me also wonders if the odenwolf/ wolfgangs w1 is a better deal for 35 euro. The Vic is probably better...

I have a marttiini diamond sharpener. Simple thing with a coarse side, fine side with a hook sharpener. I like the handle on it and actually pretty happy with it in general. It started out a bit rough, but has smoothed nicely. I think it's only 300 | 600, but I only have simple steels, so can...

Just finished ep.3. Not as bad as I thought after ep.1. The contestants are doing better than I thought. I think it's partly the editing that made it seem worse.
