@Wildrover - I ordered mine through Heinnie Haynes, took them about a day to get it to me, very impressed! m

Ok, so I got myself a T3, just couldn't resist in the end... ...and yes, I love it. It is beautifully made, and has a good solid feel in your hand that makes you think it will last forever. Took it camping at the weekend and had great fun with it, as you can see... Thanks for the...

Thank you so much!

I've just had a Fallkniven DC3 diamond/ceramic whetstone delivered. The thing which is perplexing me is - there is a thin gold side and a thicker grey side - which is which? There is not an obvious difference between the two and nothing on the net seems to tell you. I feel like a fool but I...

Thanks again for so much great input. Some very good advice here. Still, the g friend just got home (rather p1ssed from a night with the girls to be honest!) so probably time to call it a night! m

Wow, beautiful! The bladed equivalent of a Holland & Holland eh? A Purdey next perhaps? (btw @post #20 I meant TK3 not TK4)

Too slow to always respond individually but thanks to all for the very useful comments. Plenty for me to think about! That paperclip tip sounds like pure genious!

@ Chris - thanks. The Mora is certainly going to get a serious look given how many recommendations it is getting. I have to admit though, as an object the TK4 looks like it would be a pleasure to own, I just love that wood. Its the sort of knife I wish my dad had passed on to me (although...

I'm glad you said your 9" monstrosity was bladed, just too many potential jokes otherwise! The SAK is definitely the least threatening option. I'm only intending to carry a knife when I genuinely think I have a need for it though, the tube just isn't the place for carrying one on the off...

Hi Red, thanks for your thoughts. I do have a SAK at the moment, a Huntsman which I've owned for years and has often come in handy. I'm a little bit mindful that if I want to try certain things (a featherstick is a good example as I have a fire steel I would like to put to good use) I would...

@ Jadadiah - lol! I sense your cynicism! My recent interest was spaked by camping in the "wild" on Fraser Island in Australia, an experience I enjoyed so much I'm booked to go camping rather closer to home for a weekend in about three weeks time. I've certainly been watching Ray...

That makes sense. Certainly I would be concerned about ruining a good blade through incorrect sharpening. My only experience in that regard so far is the steel I use for sharpening my set of kitchen knives which I like to keep in good nick! I've just ordered a diamond ceramic whetstone...

Thanks for taking the time to respond. The reasoning behind a folder is portability and also to an extent my location. I live in London and although I've never been stopped by the police (I'm 31 and boringly respectable looking!) I see the metal detectors at stations regularly and would rather...

Hi, Been reading the forum for a few days now and decided to dip my toe in. I'm interested in treating myself to a decent pocket knife, something that will come in handy with my growing interest in camping and bushcraft. I'm looking for the sort of thing that is practical, well made and a...
