    Help please to identify the maker of this pry bar

    I've had a look but it doesn't tickle any memory at all! Not a sausage. I would doubt it's Ru - just doesn't have the right feel to it. The sheath has a vaguely Pennillion / Mik vibe. I'll drop him a note later and ask.

    Considering that a knife can beat a gun in close use, I doubt gloves would prevail.

    Emergency Bleed Kit

    I can see your thought process but I fancy my ability to run over the speed of me being able to put gloves on and then grab a blade.

    Emergency Bleed Kit

    Along with a few others, I've been tasked with looking into an emergency bleed kit for the workplace. Realistically it's to offset against the possible risk of stabbings and is something that was seen in a tv fly on the wall series (I don't know which one). Hopefully it's never to be used. I'm...

    Any Alternatives in the UK - all the knives look the same

    The thing is, it's hard to take that opinion seriously from someone who won't cook outside if they don't have access to a sink and tap.....

    Winter blues.

    Does it take time to build up to a set level / routine? I'm just wondering if it would break a cycle of struggling to sleep rather than regular use.
