    Uk custom knife makers

    Very nice, AEB-L is worth a look too and I think Alan has some stock of it too. You won’t be disappointed with a Stainthorp, I’ve two of his blades and can’t fault them.

    All packed and set for Autumn/Winter. Weighs in at 17kg dry without food and water. This is pretty luxurious for me, I prefer to travel light. If I was going to be doing serious mileage I would pack a summer sleeping bag and trim the fat a bit. I could get this load down to 10kg dry without food...

    Good Lambsfoot knife that can be shipped to the USA?

    If you wanted one of the Mole knives then I’m happy to pick one up and ship it to you. I work 5 miles away from one of their stores. However, if you’re not concerned about spending some money then you should definitely commission Shing to make you one.

    Sid from Texas!

    Sounds like you need one of these! The Kriega stuff is very solid, my tailpack is obscured by my helmet in this picture. Totally waterproof and very versatile. Hope you find something suitable and keep it shiny side up on Dragon’s Tail!
