    Sold Fallkniven U2 and CRKT Ritter RSK Mk5

    Fallkniven U2, used but in good condition. Complete with box. SOLD and a CRKT Ritter RSK Mk5 brand new in the box complete with the tin, paperwork and garish paracord that you will no doubt remove as soon as you get it. This is my spare one but the other has been great as a lightweight necker...

    Leaving the forum.

    The world is a strange place right now, lots of people are feeling stress and anxiety and are venting their frustrations at any target. I'll admit I've limited my time on most forums now because this situation is happening everywhere. It will get better but we can't let this type of on-line...

    Drop down pouches

    That would actually be a great idea if spare bags were available. You could remove a full one and just pop a fresh one in. I don't think I've seen anything like that for sale.

    Drop down pouches

    It seems like a fair price. My only comment though is that it's often easier to detach a full pouch from your belt using a clip or poppers than to take your belt off to remove it, especially if you've got other things on your belt as well.

    Medieval 'scrip' bag

    I love it when I'm searching the interwebs for something and the most helpful posts crop up from this forum :) Almost 10 years ago to the day as well.

    Comparisons between Rough Rider and Case pocket knives

    This was helpful, thanks. One thing I like about the Rough rider is the design of the nail nick. I don't know if it makes it any better or worse to use but it just looks better than the standard smooth notches.

    Folding knife with saw blade?

    The Officer's knife is a good upgrade from the Camper if you're not a big wine drinker. Scissors and a phillips head make it a much better tool. I've retired my Farmer since getting one.

    Hi Merv. Yeah that's too modern for what I'm looking for sorry.

    [Sold] Swap Fallkniven U2 for more traditional folder, preferably Case Sodbuster Jr or similar.

    Hi Chris. Royal Mail tracked and signed for is £8.50 for a large letter by the looks of it.

    [Sold] Swap Fallkniven U2 for more traditional folder, preferably Case Sodbuster Jr or similar.

    As much as I love this little knife I don't use it anymore and I've been thinking about trying a more traditional folder for a while. Ideally I'm after a knife with bone or antler scales and decent quality. The Case Sodbuster Jr with the jigged bone handles would be perfect but I'll consider...

    What is it?

    Or maybe the opposite, like part of a cigar humidor cabinet or something.

    Swiss Army style knife suggestions?

    Did anyone actually get the toothpick firesteel in the end? They don't seem to have made it to the UK in any major way yet for some reason. I've upsized from the Hiker to the Officer's knife now just for the scissors. A worthwhile upgrade for gardening use if nothing else.

    Conversations with a salesman....

    My sister once drove past me picking hazel nuts out of a hedge. She stopped and the conversation went a bit like: 'What the hell are you up to now?' o_O 'Nutting' I replied 'Well you're obviously up to something' :shifty: 'Yeah nutting' 'Fine, don't tell me then!' :mad:

    Be Careful !

    Ouch, poor kids. I'll stick to the whistle cap and carry the water separately I think. My M-kettle can be a bit of a health and safety nightmare when it boils because it spits water about and you have to pick it up by the body of the kettle. It also gets burning sticks stuck to the underside...

    Pocket Victorinex

    I was building a greenhouse last weekend and got the tips of 2 fingers trapped between the sharp edge of one of the panes of glass and a very strong spring clip. If I hadn't had my SAK in my pocket to pry them free I would have been in a bit of trouble.

    Conserving Gooseberry seeds

    What were the spines like on the stems? I've got one red variety and it's got much less spines than most of my green ones. The fruit is much sweeter too, more like a grape than a gooseberry. I can't remember the cultivar name now though. There's bushes growing there though that have been...

    Conserving Gooseberry seeds

    They take so easily from cuttings that I'd stick to that. Seed could produce a hybrid plant or might even be sterile so if the original plant form is what you want to preserve then cuttings are the way to go.
