    Your top 3 steels and why?

    I’ve liked 14C28N done by QSP and Morakniv. Edge retention is good, so is its ease to get sharp again (both not too dissimilar to a well treated VG-10), corrosion resistance is very good but where it really excels is it’s stability and impact resistance even at low geometries. It does well at...

    Withdrawn Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter

    Used but very good condition. Light scratches on blade in places. S35VN blade steel. Impossibly solid tri-ad locking mechanism with zero play. Closest folding knife I’ve ever experienced in terms of security and how solid feeling it is to a stout fixed blade. Ergos are great too. £100 PayPal...

    What excites you about spring arriving?

    I like almost everything about spring arriving - the sunshine, the increased wildlife, the colours, the bird song, the lighter nights, the warmth, the smell of the cut grass and flowers and just generally the pleasantness to be outside in. …In fact there is only one single thing I dislike hate...

    What a good knife to use for cooking and bushcraft

    The Mora Kansbol idea suggested at the start would make solid choice. Flat grind at the front of the blade for slicing food and a scandi at the back for wood. It’s a knife that is a bit like a mullet hairdo - looks awkward and off-putting at first, but when the stars align and the right...

    A little bit political but ! What’s you view

    Its refreshing see someone with an ounce of common sense with a more pragmatic approach being allowed to speak at these events for once. Usually it’s white noise, guff and hot air expelled by some clueless, painfully middle-class whining mouth piece whom values “feelings“ above all else without...

    Best Bushcraft Knife to Buy?

    They look awful. You’d be better of with a Morakniv or Bahco at any price point.

    Custom boots

    If you are very lazy and don’t wish to walk far then these should do the job. You don’t even have to lace them or spend time cleaning and waxing them. Way under budget too.

    Boots - pure leather Vs membrane?

    Definitely without lining / membrane, just pure leather upper suits my feet best. My boney feet tend to rapidly rip through most lining even on the higher end stuff such as Meindl and Hiax. There are plenty of lliner less boots out there but are often made the traditional way and therefore cost...

    Spiders, spiders, so many spiders

    I personally like them, not so much the giant house ones it must be said - they cause all kinds of upset and anxiety with missus and daughter, and this time of year being next to fields I’m kept busy all night with the glass and cardboard. The cats love them though - Just he other morning I...
