    Woodlore pro knife

    Thanks for all the replies, some interesting comments. i think some of my reason for asking is that I'm currently favouring a full flat grind as my go to woods knife ( L T Wright Next Gen) as it is so versatile. Don't get me wrong I still use my scandi grind knives a lot but as we all know...

    Woodlore pro knife

    I have just been looking at the Woodlore pro knife on the Ray Mears website and noticed the grind is longer than previous Woodlore knives. Reading the description the angle is now 25 degrees for this model, I believe scandi grinds are normally around 20 degrees. As I'm never going to afford one...

    Wool Blanket Bush Smock

    Alternatively my partner is a seamstress and has said she would cut a pattern if provided with a garment to work from...or even possibly make it for a reasonable cost.

    Wool Blanket Bush Smock

    It was a few years ago I made mine and can't remember where I got the pattern. I'll have a Google but it was basically for a hoody and I adapted it adding waxed cotton trim on the shoulders and to lengthen it.

    Knife maker with red dot logo question

    I'm having a stupid think moment! I have a handmade knife (it's at home and i'm at work so I can't post a pic) that has a red dot logo on the blade and I can't think of the name of the maker. I think that unhandled blades were a red dot and complete blades he made were a black dot. It's driving...

    If there is one piece of kit that’s gone, you could bring back what is it ?

    I think there's also the kit that was a sensible price but has now gone silly that I wish I'd bought or not sold on...RM Wilkinson Sword (paid £95 new) , Swedish army cookset (especially the stainless version), CWC G10 watches (they're not even that good!! controversial, I know[emoji1787])...

    water proof jacket and trouser. what to get

    Some of the Austrian surplus is just green not camo so might be worth a look. Also I think I've seen RAF goretex kit in blue.... If you've got a larger budget I'm a fan of Paramo kit. Sent from my moto g22 using Tapatalk
