    Voluntarily handing in a large blade to the UK police

    I am astonished. Here's hoping that all falls into place. Or... :jimlad:

    Room a new SAK

    Oh totally. It's just dreadful that it happened in the first place. It's the sort of thing where if this happened on the telly you'd half expect them to crack out a breathalyser. Maybe the surgeon is called Timothy (points to those who provide the reference)

    Room a new SAK

    I realise at a glance it seems rather cool, but this is frankly terrifying. It reads more like a warzone situation than a hospital in what is a highly developed country.

    Real Steel Luna red glow in the dark, thoughts?

    I'm pleased with this Luna Lite - decided against the untextured GITD red of the Heinnie's model. The thumb stud was a royal pain to get on because the long pull is not evenly ground so one side starts before the other, and the 'pinched' nature of the thumb stud (it's kind of C shaped to ride...

    Benefits of liners on a knife handle.

    I'm not a maker, but I thought it was a way to add thickness to a handle without requiring the raw handle material to be as thick, as well as to add visual appeal. I have had a knife with very thin liners but they seemed to almost squeeze out from the handle and blade stock interface. That...

    Brisa PK70fx

    The original PK70 was a slip-joint so you might have disliked that even more!

    Real Steel Luna red glow in the dark, thoughts?

    There was a bit of a mix up so I received the thumb stud instead of, rather than in addition to the Luna. I'll see if there are some other interesting Luna variants around before ordering it again.

    Real Steel Luna red glow in the dark, thoughts?

    Yeah I caved over the weekend on the red GITD. The thing I'm most wary of is the lack of texturing compared to the other G10 Lunas, but I'll see what it's like when it arrives. That Ultem looks great on the Elementum. Agreed on the Stella, it looks great. Less OHO-able though, and I prefer the...

    Real Steel Luna red glow in the dark, thoughts?

    Thank you for the confidence-inspiring post in their products. The Luna does seem to be everywhere online, in a very good way. Was it the G Tanto that you've gone for? I do rather like the look of that, but prefer the theoretical back spring security of the Luna vs. the double detente of the G...

    Real Steel Luna red glow in the dark, thoughts?

    That one is great! That being said, I really don't want to deal with that company, they are apparently useless when things go wrong with sharps and the UK. I used to buy from them long ago though and they were good.

    Recommended metal/robust headtorch

    The Nitecore NU32 I refer to earlier in this thread can go straight to red, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it (explained above) but it suggests other Nitecores can go straight to red too. I had no idea there were green light options; does this similarly not disturb night vision?

    Advice on Hoarding.

    Removable (mini lobster clip as an example) zip pulls in a variety of colours that suit you outfits, and/or various colours of rain covers, may help.

    Real Steel Luna red glow in the dark, thoughts?

    Evening all, I've long looked the look of the Luna from Real Steel, they look elegant and practical. Do I need it? Absolutely not. Do I want it? I do rather. https://heinnie.com/real-steel-heinnie-haynes-luna-glow-in-the-dark/ Does anyone have any experience with this Luna with the red glow...

    Dutch Army Hooped Bivi Bag

    These days I would personally only use it in combination with a tarp unless under really good tree cover. I sold my double hooped version a few years back, and do regret it somewhat as I just don't get the same experience from a British milsurp bivi bag. But I was daft to ever think I would...

    Dutch Army Hooped Bivi Bag

    I'd always go XL for these. The extra space in what is already very pokey is worth the slight additional weight and pack size.
