    Offensive Weapons Act 2019: surrender and compensation scheme. December 2020 - March 2021

    I always thought you could own anything you wanted, but were very limited in terms of carrying.

    Malanika chopper in Vanadis 4E or in CPM 4v?

    Cheers everyone, as long as they’re basically the same steel I suppose it doesn’t matter. Thanks for the help, I’ll be aware of the potential staining/rusting.

    Pick two 1095 knives for a random adventure.

    You don’t know the specific scenario, you just get to pick two knives made from 1095 to take with you. Who does the best job with 1095? ESEE, KA-BAR, TOPS, etc? TOPS seem to have the biggest variety of knives but I think my first pick would be a Becker BK9, followed by a smaller knife like an...

    Compact sea fishing rod?

    Cheers mate, it looks great. Can you use that fresh and sea fishing? What would be the minimal kit you’d take to accompany the rod if you were trying to survive for a week or two and catch your own food?

    Best knife steel for prying and toughness/hardness?

    Ah, fair enough mate. I just saw their Instagram posts of all their finished production and hoped that something had finally clicked for them. I like the look of their knives.

    Best knife steel for prying and toughness/hardness?

    @Lore @marcoruhland I have my Fehrman now, so my attention’s moved from large 3v knives for the time being, but during the hunt I started following Survive! knives on Instagram and they’ve now completed their move to a new workshop and are making and shipping large batches now, so if you two...

    New Lock Knife Opinions

    Yeah, that’s true. Although the chances of someone who only currently owns a slightly iffy folder being adept at making their own knife handles is slim. I’m pretty sure the Eldris and the Necker are the same steel, too.

    If you wanted to spend a little more for a nicer looking knife, the Brisa Necker’s a 70mm blade. https://www.lamnia.com/en/p/41234/knives/brisa-necker-70-scandi-neck-knife-curly-birch

    For the money, you can’t go too far wrong with a Mora Eldris. It matches your spec, too. https://heinnie.com/mora-eldris

    Best knife steel for prying and toughness/hardness?

    It’s true with creationists, too. They always want evolutionary biologists to find the ‘missing link’ between two fossils. When one turns up that’s in between, it just creates two more missing links!

    Best knife steel for prying and toughness/hardness?

    Haha, yeah. I know what you mean about the hunt never ending. When I agreed a price on that Fehrman I had a bit of a relieved feeling that I’ve finally filled that, ‘large, tough, high quality knife’ spot in my collection, but all it did was make me wonder if I’ve got the small, high quality...

    Recommended UK/European custom knife makers?

    Thanks for the help everyone. I bought the Fehrman Final Judgement from @xellos99 yesterday. It looks perfect for what I want. Really well heat-treated 3V, over 6mm thick at the spine, and 15” long overall.
