I have a Fjellkniven from Helle and have found it to be an excellent knife. It takes and holds an very sharp edge and has never let me down. I bought it from Heinnie. :)

Dave, I recognise that axe from the Midland Game Fair!! My arm hairs have grown back now, you'll be pleased to know!:D Best regards. Pete. ;)

Can't blame me for trying though!!:p:p:D ;) :lmao:

Is that the knife you showed me a while back, Dazz? Are you still selling? ;)

I'd let it build up to a 'used' finish. I have cleaned my machete with wire-wool and some Autosol polish, especially after I did a conifer clearing job in my in-laws garden- the sap got all over it! :)

Hi. If you do a Google search you'll find a site called M40 Selections. It's a good site with plenty of info on it. Here's a link from M40's pages about him turning a kukri into a very serviceable knife, where he mentions the Becker Brute Regards.

For all you foragers out there who don't want to get caught in a monsoon-like downpour, here's a website which might help alleviate that. Weather watch. Pete.

Hi Dave. It was good to chat with you at 2006 Midland Game Fair, mate. Just so that you know, the hairs on my left fore-arm are growing back ....slowly!! click here :lmao: ( his axes are razor sharp, guy's!!) ATVB Pete.

It's about a quid for a small bottle, Pete, but it will last you a fair while. Worth stocking up in my opinion. Pete.

Agreed. You can buy alcohol based gel in Superdrug. I use it after I have prepared rabbits etc. It evaporates away leaving your hands/equipment pretty much sterile.

Carry some of those lemon hand-wipes you get from places that sell food. Failing that just spit on it and wipe it on your trousers. Works for me. :) I wouldn't suggest stabbing the blade into the ground, as you only need to hit a stone and the edge has gone.

Very nice!!! It looks like a Dave Budd, and there's nothing wrong with that!!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

That's one of the best looking knifes I've seen for a good while! Well done!!!;)

That's a useful blade shape, isn't it? It looks like a knife which will see plenty of uses!! Lovely! :cool:

Hi lad's. I started off using Fotango to host my pics, but they only accept jpg files. Red is using a good site in Imageshack, but I use www.suprfile.com because they take all files and don't ask you to set up an account. You just visit and host. So far, I've had no problems at all. BTW...
