    Knife Scale Failure - Advice Wanted

    Sound advice so far and you did a good fix on both knives mate. It really is a bugger when scales lose adhesion to the tang. Especially when you make the knife yourself! I had issues with fillet knives and a couple of others, I used good epoxy and did the steps to get a good deal but flex in...

    Ban on crossbows

    Years ago when the rumour eBay would ban the sale of knives I laughed at how that 'would never happen'. When I heard about the potential knife online purchases I frowned and laughed a bit while thinking 'really? That's sounds too extreme'. Hearing this just makes me sad as I know where it'll...

    Reconditioning old files

    Use your thumb to see if the teeth of the files have a good bite. If it isn't sharp or biting well the file may be well used and a bit too far gone. If you reckon they have enough life to bother saving then go for it. What I use is white vinegar. Soak the steel in that over night and wire...

    Knives, tools & various items for trade! :)

    Hello, hmm.. depends on what tools you have tbh. You'd need an bundle of wet n dry sand paper and a few hours of gentle polishing. You could use a Dremel too, I've restored others with one to mirror shine. Just use the polishing pads with autosol after sand paper, then sharpen etc. Pm me if you...

    Knives, tools & various items for trade! :)

    Easy ideas would be other knives.. Military issue knives would be a good start though. In particular an Ontario pilot survival knife, old Swedish knives and unique or long discontinued ones. If you have any like that or any others you might consider trading let me know their details via pm...

    Cleaver

    Looking a lot different than it did a few days ago! Pretty cool. My tip for extreme patina paste is a shot of white vinegar, tea spoon of English mustard and a tea spoon of salt. Loosely stir and roughly apply to the blade. It will add decades in days if you leave it to air and really set in.
