Azeem, welcome to BCUK There really is no need to buy charcloth as it is simplicity itself to make. Merely tear up cotton or linen cloth (old jeans, dusters & tea-towels are popular) and put them into a small metal tin - if the lid of the tin is tight-fitting, poke a hole in it. Heat the tin...

Some knives will require work to get a good square edge to the spine as Mick mentioned above - but most medium to high end Bushcraft blades should strike sparks readily from new. If you have a multi-tool or a Swiss Army Knife (SAK) with a saw, try the spine of that - it should throw a ton of...

Yup, learn a few knots well and how to adapt them to whatever you need to do. Ignore whether they are really a "bend" or a "hitch" instead of a "knot" - and instead, learn how to tie them left handed (or right handed if you are left hand dominant). Like many things in Bushcraft, there can be...

Same here, just seen it - and I agree to the method of sharpening - and will add that to get a good polish on the blade, replace the wet 'n' dry with the side cut out of a cereal box with some metal polish rubbed over it. The handle is the same shape as mine - probably the best Kukri handle...

Aha Welcome aboard Beth! You'll have to be careful, otherwise you'll get yourself a bad name as some type of hypochondriac - what with the perpetual "Oh I've just - fallen/crashed/burnt myself/choked/fainted/cut myself/been run over!" or succumbed to any of a myriad of other pretend injuries...

I brought my Dutch Oven back as hand luggage from Sovereign Hill Gold mine, Ballarat, just outside Melbourne. I also bought a Drovers style waxed coat - which might cope well enough with short-term sub-tropical down-pours, but it does eventually leak through when subjected to prolonged Welsh...

I'm not that close, nor available this weekend, however, there are a good number of folk in the South Wales region that are certainly capable. Maybe repeat your request in the "Wales" subsection of the "Meetups & Social Chatter" area to catch someones eye, or be patient for replies here. Good...

Morning Bob and welcome to the forum, I'm not sure that a standard template exists. When I've made leather sheaths it all begins with a pattern made out of an old cereal box - wrapped around, pulled tight and cut so that it basically fits, then make another one so that it looks like it will...

There may be a few important issues here; They may well be a "well known name" but until they can listen to customer requirements, they are no better than anyone else. Secondly - did you describe your requirements adequately and gain reassurance that they fully understood them. Next comes the...

I have admitted in the past to having a problem with a collection of Multitools! Though I can't find the review I wrote a few years ago..... Leatherman Surge Leatherman Supertool Gerber Legend 800 Gerber Archers Tool SAK SwisstoolX All of which have good and less-good points - any...
