I was a bit disappointed with my Alpkit Gamma but it is pretty good for the money. I have now replaced it with a Crelant CH10 http://www.banggood.com/CREE-XML2-LED-460Lum-Headlight-Headlamp-Torch-Outdoor-p-929348.html Similar price to the Alpkit but you have to factor in for 18650...

Farriers Rasps are good for a large knife and are not too thick. They are generally about 5 x 45 x 350 They make a good camp knife. They are variable in quality from make to make. I have found Save Edge and Bassoli to be OK. If you know someone who has horses they will likely find you a few...

Is he riding fixed?

An alternative way to test a file (without snapping the end off) is to cut off the tang (with a hacksaw or cutting disc if it is too hard) and try hardening it. I find it easier to temper the file to 59/60Rc suitable for a knife and then grind it hard though you will struggle to do it this way...

I dont think it would be a very useful shape and I am not sure I have ever seen such a handle. An oval/rectangular handle is better for control as it is less likely to slip round and you can feel which way the knife sits in your hand.

Hope you all had a good time. I was planning to come up for Saturday night but when we woke up in the morning my Wife said "Happy Anniversary" So I had to change my plans!

100% agreed

The historical popularity of stick tangs could be because the design lends itself to ancient/preferred/available manufacturing methods. Stick tang construction makes sense if you are forging a knife, also it uses less steel and would therefore be more economic when steel was relatively...

Not sure, but would like to get there for at least one night. Karl Alex and family (TBC) Hubs Tank (& Noah TBC) pieinthesky (TBC) + Daughter maybe

You dont say the make of the watch, which may be obvious, but not to me. I would be interested to know as I need a new watch. Thanks

It was good to come and say hello and I would like to stay longer next time. Will try and bring tent, food and beer. It might be difficult explaining to my wife why I would want to camp in the woods and s#@t in a bucket less than a mile from home but I will work on it. Thanks and looking...

Those racks are notorious for snapping, I have seen a few broken ones with far far less weight than you have in the picture. You would be much better off with a normal rack though obviously you cant on that bike. If you are riding off road it can be better to carry your gear in a back pack...

Might be interested too Mike Depends on Cost

I have a pair of Zeiss Jena 8 x 30s I picked up at a charity shop. Paid £20 and they are in very good nick. They can go for silly money on E-bay. Also have a pair of Russian Gnus which are so rugged they have survived about 5 years living on the floor of the car - no case or lens caps. They...

I would like to know who was the first to say "Yes you can laser my eyes to make me see better"
