    leatherman: supertool 300 vs. surge?!

    No problem. For a leftie, the straight and serrated knife knife on the Surge (outside) is not positioned very well for quick one-hand opening. You would need to flip it to lowerside and use you index finger -if that makes sense. Never thought of that, since 'rightie' here. It is a robust tool...

    leatherman: supertool 300 vs. surge?!

    No experience with the Supertool, but the Surge is a big favorite. Just 'upgraded' from a Wave and both work on the same principle. Oh -the inner tools lock also, which was a step up from my (older) Wave.

    Modify Lars Fält Bushcraft knife

    My setup is pretty primitive due to lack of work space. For the spine - I used disc sanders in a drill before but that was not very accurate. I now use a cheap, noisy band sander (the one you attack floors with) clamped upside down in a workmate. So basically a makeshift belt grinder with a...

    Modify Lars Fält Bushcraft knife

    No, I didn't. It is 4mm nowadays in Sleipner, but this was the K720 version which was about 3.5 mm. It did cut well enough with the standard grind and kept a good edge.

    Modify Lars Fält Bushcraft knife

    Here it is. I did not take much off. It is a great knife, but as with many of these -way too much blade height for my taste.. One addition: what I usually do with new knives is round off a bit of the the spine right near the handle. Saves thumb slices when placing your thumb there. Enough...

    Modify Lars Fält Bushcraft knife

    I had one where I took a bit of steel of the spine, slimming it down a bit -it was too much of a pancake flipper. But that handle is pretty comfortable as is. Excellent knife.

    Why no Production Skookum Bushtool

    The American Knife Company produced a poorly attempted copy once. I think they were one of Mike Stewarts companies (of Bark River 'fame'). That guy is really in the business of ripping of other peoples designs. Not sure they still exist: blog with review.

    Knife selection advice

    I just got one in for using as a general do-it-all knife and I am really impressed with the Lionsteel M4! I also noticed that the protruding back end of the tang is squared now, so it throws a wicked spark. According to Gianni - that is a recent upgrade. Nice. -Emile

    Slow sales?

    For me, the hassles involved with shipping to from the UK have made me stop looking at the classifieds or offering equipment (usually knives) here. I also noted that the forum in term of classifieds has become exceedingly UK centric for the same reason. Totally understandable but it makes the...

    Not much, snow chains travel always in the Landcruiser as well as a crate with goodies that might come in handy.
