note that the strikeforce blurb says "military STYLE machete" i believe they are made in india and distributed by webtex. i could be wrong. the biggest giveaway is the size. the issue golok is a few inches longer than the clones, the issue golok does not fit in the bayonet sheath that the...

except that that is not a british army machete! it's a sort of miniature copy. a not very good miniature by the looks of it. cheers, and.

best bushcraft event? the bushcraftUK bushmoot of course! there's also the wilderness gathering if you want to buy stuff, or the bushcraft show in the lake district. cheers, and.

interesting points to be had here. i like the knife wielding license. mmmhh.... incidentally, even though the clas ohlsen moras are excellent. the hultafors can be had for a wee bit more, but they're a much better product. the sheath is much, much more secure, and the blade is thicker. i have...

i'll second that. there's also bushcraft skills, which is essentially the akkermans stuff without all the security business. either way, they're both excellent for hardcore bushcrafters who seek to renouncing the use of metal! cheers, and.

full flat grind,convex secondary bevel. it's the future. why limit yourself to all the drawbacks of a scandi grind? cheers, and.

lol! pm postal address please. btw, mine has been race-tuned a bit. it'd be interestin' to compare the modded version to the standard. cheers, and.

+1 on the sharpening and using! to be fair, even i think the dartmoor is basically an answer to what was actually a rhetorical question! but it is a very misunderstood tool. i did chuckle when i read a comment here, (ages ago) to the effect that "a woodlore is a much more capable tool than a...

what a little sweetie! :cool: cheers, and.

:cool: one to look out for. coconut revolution is mint! now there's a real life teotwaki society. adaption skills brought to the fore. cheers, and.

i'm not fussed either way, take the handle all the way up to the cutting edge and the choil is redundant.... however, they can be popular on real hunting knives like the knives of alaska stuff. the advantage being that it gives the user control whilst keeping the handle away from the...

it's actually a really sophisticated test, and a real beasting for a knife. you could try the test on a real pry-bar knife, but it turns out that it's incredibly difficult to hammer a really thick bladed knife that far into a tree perpendicular to the grain. it's also seriously hard on the...

well, um, yes, mine looks most like the before state, odds and sods of projects propped up in every corner. cheers, and.

in a previous life as a maintenance egineer we had all sorts of tools on the team. most of them were models that i'd tried and sold on. the tool that i found to be consistantly the best is the humble leatherman blast. pros: the simple construction means no space is wasted so you get more...

i think the most useful thing with that video is demonstrating to spouses that chopping up stuff on the patio and associated pratting is a perfectly rational and normal pass time. :lmao: mrs-s still seems to be dubious of these patently obvious facts, even after all these years! cheers, and.

goodjob:You_Rock_ excellent work boys, and girls! i seem to recall years ago, someone came up with a list of requirements for a good survival knife, one requirement was that the blade be electrically isolated from the handle, so you could chop through live mains cables! no full tangs allowed...

mine live in plastic crates under my bed, i guess that's not proper storage either! :lmao: cheers, and.

work of genious! i'm over 14, but i'm going to have a hard time bringing a guardian along, will lithril do? :confused: cheers, and.

wow! 10 out of 10 for style! :red:

yarp. i always wanted a characterful forum name, just never managed to think of one. main blade at the moment is an ESEE4 (plus whatever else is lying about :-) ) http://www.eseeknives.com/rc-4.htm not very fashionable in these parts, but it's a great all rounder. cheers, and.
