    Skrama

    Funny you should say that, my 200 arrived yesterday. It feels great in the hand and now has the Varusteleka makers mark and a sharpened spine. I have some wood from a few trees and shrubs I have had to prune so it will get a quick test on them later. The shorter blade is very comfortable out...

    Sold Mora Garberg stainless steel knife

    Mechanix Gloves for hot work

    i really liked my mechanix gloves for my old work when I was teaching urban operations, but as a good heavy work glove they are not as robust, although the dexterity is good and fit close to the fingers, they are not made of the strongest materials, the better work gloves I have found are a pair...
