    How do you feel about people joining to post Surveys?

    They stopped that in 2006. The leaf logo wasn't big enough for some people.

    Well sort it out. A progress thread would be good.

    Amazon deliver 8” knife without asking for signature

    They need to start having some kind of hiring protocol where they actually decide employing goobers is a bad idea.

    About time you sorted your knife out mate. Been waiting for updates for weeks.

    … or dangerous looking stickers. They’re the worst.

    How do you feel about people joining to post Surveys?

    This pretty much sums up my opinion too.

    Sweet. Gratuitous knife pictures are not what they once were on here. So plaster up many more.

    Finished Damascus And Stag Bushcraft Knife

    Here you go. I’ve taken it so there’s no lens distortion. It measures 220mm. If you enlarge the image onscreen and then trace it, you’ll get an accurate profile. Or just print it out to that size. I’m technically incapable of doing that so I use the first method :bigok:

    Finished Damascus And Stag Bushcraft Knife

    If I take a picture of one dead on from above with the length, you can make a template from that. Bear with me 10mins.

    Finished Damascus And Stag Bushcraft Knife

    The handle looks very palm filling. Something I really like in a knife.

    Trip Report Celebrating First Blood 40th Anniversary

    I think we all did. Swooning over the Survival Aids catalogue with the Wilky survival and Buck etc. Then John Fenna burst the bubble by telling everyone it was crap:buttkick:

    Trip Report Celebrating First Blood 40th Anniversary

    I remember. I saw one of the two I had commissioned come up for sale not so long back for a nuts amount. Although there were only two made.

    Trip Report Celebrating First Blood 40th Anniversary

    Definitely not. It’s very much of its time. It’ll do the job for sure if it was pressed and they’re exceptionally well made. The hollow handle weak tang argument doesn’t hold water as Jimmy excecuted it very well. But it’s not for me. I’d put it more in the combat/survival category too.

    Trip Report Celebrating First Blood 40th Anniversary

    They are Andy Wood made copies. He had the Lile licence to produce high end replicas at one point. Probably the most accurate reproductions out there, and the level of detail is insane to the 6 screen used ones made by Jimmy Lile. I have a LILE stamped one, but I’d be off my rocker to use...

    So.. what happened...

    That’s easily sorted. There's loads of external hosting sites that are free. I used photobucket for years until they started charging. They’re dead simple to use.

    I did have some pics of the saw results as it was happening. Maybe Clem has them.

    Very well. I think they got a bad rap from the mass produced replicas. But a hand made one with full flat grind with the bottom of the saw teeth narrower than the edge, makes them very effective. Surprisingly so. Even batons OK if it wasn’t for the teeth chewing the baton up.
