Just read through this thread again as it's re-surfaced. One thing I didn't notice first time through was mention of iron as a trace element. In case anybody's doing anything based on that then think again. Iron is not even remotely a trace element, the human body typically contains 40mg to...

That's odd. Nothing wrong with mine - when I saw your post I snipped up some 80gsm paper with them (they live on my desk) to make labels for pots of plum jam. Still cutting perfectly after probably 25 years. Maybe you should talk to Leatherman about their warranty? They've been very good to...

My Micra has tweezers. ;)

That photo looks a lot like the left-hand side of my desk. :) Yes, the "Officier Suisse" is pretty much the "Fieldmaster" with a different name stamped on the larger blade. My wife is the one who has a corkscrew on her SAK. And her Leatherman. And her Wenger. And...

This is why I carry the SAK in a pouch on my belt. To be fair and honest I carry two SAKs - the other one is a Signature - and a Leatheman Charge, and a bunch of other stuff all in pouches on my belt. The SAK is what gets used the most, followed by the Leatherman, many times every day. I...

Weird. I have a Grieve, between a Bramley and a Victoria. They're all doing what they're supposed to do. The crop on the Victoria has been huge this year but the apples nothing to get excited about. This is NE Derbyshire.

Plums - strictly speaking harvesting them, not actually growing them. They grow all by themselves, I just have to, er, fertilize them a little... Can I not insert an image that isn't already on the Web somewhere? One that's just on my computer? I've tried everything I can be bothered to...

Yeah, every day I see a couple of dozen spam emails offering "negative review removal" as a service. It seems to be a thriving business! They're all rejected, and the sending hosts are then blacklisted, usually permanently.

Did you pay by card? If you did then you could ask the card company to do a chargeback.

IMHO the BA bivi bag is the unsung hero of the camping world. I never go anywhere without one. If I use some random sleeping bag/blanket/whatever instead of my more usual kit I'll always use the bivi, if for no other reason than it prevents condensation on the bag and makes the experience so...

That's stunning.

I'm not sure I follow. I don't want to post a link to anything, I want to view some images which are behind the facebook login screen and therefore accessible ony to those who have facebook credentials (or, alternatively, those who are prepared to bypass the facebook security - which I'm sure...

Is there a way for those of us without a facebook account to view the images?

Have you tried eBay? There seem to be a few things of that sort but from what little I saw not especially cheap.

The time will come when you can't really move for all this AI cr@p and the only way to get away from it will be to go out into the woods with a backpack. Oh, wait...

Apparently zombie knives and the like sometimes have holes in them. So if there are two or more holes in a blade that's more than eight inches long which has sharp bits then it's illegal. I'm sitting next to the wife's magnetic kitchen knife holder, and one of her cook's knives looks to me...

I'm convinced that there isn't a functioning brain cell anywhere in most governments. I was just reimbursed £43 for a Herbertz garden machete. It was a superb tool. I surrendered it because it had seven holes in the blade. If it had been O1 I might have tried welding them up but it was 420...

I haven't yet seen a folding one.:rofl:

Sorry, this reply somehow got delayed. I think I forgot to hit 'post reply'... Not too bad considering my advanced years, thank you, and still very busy. Hope you and yours are well too. For a few years I only ever stropped it but the very fine stropped edge never seemed to last long...
