Another very similar knife to the Sanrenmu SRM S745 is the Ruike F118. Also 14c28n steel. First one is about 50€, the latter about 65€.

The closer the fat is to fully saturated, the less it will degrade by heating. That's why grandma re-uses her tallow, pours it back into a glass where it turns into a solid. You can't really do this with plant cooking oils, as these are predominantly omega-6. Not only are they competing with...

Hallo Erbswurst and Tom! I believe he goes by robevs73 on the forum. You could try that.

You can get preformed G10 handles for the Brisa Trapper also, I'm no sure if it was on the homepage or via retailers here in EU. Those would work well in wet climates. Also, 14c28n would be a good steel for your usage. There's the Sanrenmu S745 on Aliexpress, which is affordable.

Bats are adorable creatures from another dimension. That whole supersonic thing is insane when you think about it.

I dunno.. a folder with wooden handles, that can get bothersome and nasty with plant juice and wetness in general. Even using my Opinels for dry stuff like light woodworking, they get very tight around the pivot and need some care. I wouldn't do food prep with a folder. But you certainly can.

An organ donor card that has an (x) at please, for the love of god, don't take my organs.

Also, you can get a 600g hatchet (or small-ish axe, "boy's axe" size, handle about an arm's length) from a forestry or home improvement store. No need to buy a premium scandinavian brand. Buying it in person, you can pick and choose a good handle, which is important. Grain parallel to the head...

Just in case there's confusion. Mora Clipper and Companion are the same knife. It used to be called a Clipper and just had a different rubber texture on the handle.

I would also say Mora Companion stainless. 15 bucks, slicey, does everything. Great to find out if you're into the hobby. You can always spend more later.

Cheese with nutella on toast. Apple slices on bread. Fried egg on a burger. Ketchup, mustard and mayo all together - it's like Big Mac sauce. And when I make Arab lentil stew I sometimes put Brussel sprouts in there.

I usually do a fruit salad (banana, orange, apple, berries) with chia, oats, vegan yogurt and some plant milk for breakfast. As long as you don't skimp on volume it's a full meal. Sometimes I do that same fruit in cooked rice pudding. Especially in the morning, straight energy like this is...

That assumes though that laws are written to target criminals. Laws target the law-abiding. An evil individual will have that balisong in his pocket no matter what. Sure, there's also the punitive aspect, should a bad guy be caught with a knife. But as I hinted at with the flashlight comparison...

I don't carry one unless I'm going on a hike. Still, it used to be perfectly normal to carry a pocket knife as a labourer, for food prep and other small things. In some parts of Europe and rural areas in particular, it still is. I have a flashlight on my keychain that I always carry with me. I...

It's the same here. I don't think a lot of people know or even think about saying "no" to a cop. What's reasonable suspicion anyway? If the guy decides to be reasonably suspicious, he'll find a reason. In these situations there could be a big difference in behavior depending on whether you have...

Scandi for woodworking in a traditional small bushcraft blade, and convex for a multipurpose chopping, splitting and slicing big boi. The scandi shouldn't be too narrow, as it'll bite into wood too much rather than shave. Also, not all steels can handle a narrow scandi. For something like D2...

Hats off to the UK for being the only country I know of with knife laws sillier than ours here in Germany. Granted, knife crime in your urban areas is also worse to the point that it's almost traditional now, but we're also getting there. Here folders are legal and open carry as long as they're...

You lay the wood on the knife blank and draw the outline of the steel on. You can draw outlines in all dimensions prior to work as an easy reference for the shape you want, but obviously only one dimension matters in regards to fitting it to the tang. Then you start with a wood file or a saw to...

There was an interesting experiment done some years ago, where they had put a group of people into living quarters that were kept in complete darkness, and where they just lived their life. I think it went on for several weeks. After a time, some of them actually started "seeing" their...

We have extrasensory perceptions that we were simply trained out of. Everyday life, especially materialistic life and concerns, erect a protective wall against this kind of thing. Like, you may have heard stories that cats and dogs are very aware of "spooky stuff" happening in the house that...
