I haven’t messaged no, usually when heinnie go out of stock with limited knives, that’s it. I will check lamnia. Never heard of them before but worth a try

I have always loved the nl5, and have just seen that they have finally made one in cos steel, it looks like I might be too late!!! Does anyone know anywhere that has these for sale? https://heinnie.com/fallkniven-nl5-idun-cos/

My finest stone I currently own is 6000 grit. While I’m very happy with my sharpening skills, and the razor edge I can produce I have always thought “what if” Is it worth investing in something like 8000 10000 or 12000 grit stones? Would I see a difference in the sharpness/ edge retention of my...

anyone got the big lansky diamond set they want to get rid of? I’m looking to reprofile a few folders but don’t really want to buy a new set

I have the 17” condor parang that I would like to swop for lansky diamond set

im looking to get something like the bushcrafter gunny scandi or aurora in 3v steel, obviously some aren’t made anymore so will be searching second hand too. What are your thoughts on these?

a few of us are doing snowdon in the next month. Never done it before so don’t really know what to expect. Clothes wise we’re ok for boots, socks trousers, t shirts, gloves and hat. In terms of jackets/coats etc what would you guys recommend on wearing? Obviously we need something that we can...

I have one of the my parangs, used it one one occasion but needed something bigger. How much do you think I’d get for this knife now? Mint condition, oiled handle
