    The End of Internet Knife Sales. Law change could target one-hand opening folders

    Please help me understand something guys!? I have an order from gearbest which has knives in it. I ordered about 2 weeks ago and should it take until December to get to me, will there be an issue if this new law change does indeed take effect?? Does this proposed law change also include...

    Cold steel special forces shovel

    I have one, had it years and it's brilliant! Cuts like a heavy machete, splits like a small axe and digs like ..a shovel. Lol Genuinely surprised it's not as popular as it should be. I stripped the paint, thinned some wood from the handle and have cut through piles of hazel to build dens...

    Bison Butchering

    Make an account on an image hosting site. Not photobucket, they are money grabbing weaseled, I've been using imgur since pb stabbed us in the back. From there you upload your computer images to a folder on that account. Once it's there you copy and paste one of the code links on the image...

    Bison Butchering

    My family don't have trouble with freezing it, they refuse to do so because as a food business that has won awards and wishes to continue that, wants the best flavour per £ on the table. And as money is the driving force of this topic, and the like of bison meat I can see two sides. 1.Freezing...

    Butchers cleavers

    If you can't use a bone saw then yeah, a hatchet. But direct cross length cutting into bone with smash it and case fractured pieces to go in the meat. Splitters are used down the length of the whole body to split a beast in two, I think through the spine or right next to it. Not a butcher so...

    Serratas reduced to 210 pounds.

    Very cool! Unique endeavours in the knife market usually end in fugly tacticool trash sold to the Americans (no offense boys but it's true lol). This however is actually looking to be decent and inspiring. Well done. Not to dig at spyderco, but do not let them take over. This is yours! I...

    Kylie stick

    Reminds me of those lead topped throwing sticks used years ago to nail small game like squirrel and pigeon. And I think they are legal to use, I made a thread years ago asking after watching a documentary that had them. They were straight, forearm length and crudely made. Looked like lead was...

    Butchers cleavers

    I think my old one is a splitting cleaver, the bone type you mentioned. It's stout and heavy. Not to be mistaken for army length hog splitters though, those are borderline war axes lol. I'm guessing op wants a big kitchen cleaver rather than a thick beast.. but could be wrong. Imo there's no...

    Butchers cleavers

    I think Amazon stock several victorinox kitchen and butchering knives, my brother bought a Vic boning knife last week and it's superb. I can imagine they'll stock cleavers too and again victorinox make superb knives at a fraction of the price fancy ones go for. Failing that I have a vintage...

    I've made a few little containers from old co2 capsules. Saw the thing top off and whittle son wooden corks for them. I filled mine with matches, cotton etc, some with pellets for airguns and although my thread on it was yeeeeears ago people suggested salt n pepper for camping. However.. they...

    Bison Butchering

    'bulk buying' has little to no monetary relief in the UK. Everything is expensive, taxation is so high already even Costco and makro are barely save you much compared to supermarket prices. I've looked into bulk buying alcohol, tobacco, cured meats etc and there are limits to the already...

    Bison Butchering

    So.. this thread is about the price you are paying for bison meat in your specific isolated region? Not details on recipes, butchering techniques or even a picture of a bison? Lol

    Tbs knives

    I'm interested in the folding version, does anyone have a side by side of one next to any other common pocket knife?

    Nunas

    Looks like a proper knife! Finger guard is a great addition and sadly uncommon nowadays. I can see the Hitler youth inspiration but if you add some antler handles you could edge towards the puma white hunter look.. ;)

    Snide Comments

    It's just a bit of drama and steam bud. You'll be hard pressed to find snide comments on the diy. adventure and fun type threads, mostly it's kept to the ones on law, bragging/experience stories and generally broad opinion based topics. And if you have read enough threads and dig back, you'll...

    chris caine survival ''parang'' ?

    I think it's against forum rules to request valuations.. And as he's a bs'ing fraudster who ripped off Lofty so I doubt it's worth much more than a brand new one, and only then to a 'collector' as the tool itself isn't reported to be particuarly great. I bid £15. ;)
