    Can you help me choose a small multipurpose camp knife?

    3.5" flat ground, great steel. Micarta and G10 available too. May be over budget. https://www.knivesandtools.co.uk/search?q=Lionsteel+b35 Someone on another forum has one and had a kydex sheath made for his. Kubey ticks some the boxes, perhaps not so much for carving...

    New Mora Farnas

    I think it's a little overpriced, and I don't think Ash is a good handle material. Ok, it's good to see some of the wood being used as there's so much about that's just going to be burned as logs, but look how the abrasives have scrapped out the grain. This looks awful IMO.

    New Mora Farnas

    I kept 2 for a while, then sold the black G10. Then decided to sell the sculpted brown G10 for some bizarre reason, doh! It has a good home, Gra has it and I know he uses it a lot more than I did. I have one of Mikes little fixed blades. He made 4 from leftover scraps of RWL34 and sold them at...

    What did you buy today?

    Gosh, you’ve had a busy morning already :D

    What did you buy today?

    Couple of Tek Lok type things for a planned kydex sheath for my Lionsteel. And a kite, because I had fun flying a friends one while camping over the weekend. Good way to get a slightly sunburned face too :D

    New Mora Farnas

    I had 4 at one time, not all mine but a lovely collection. The M4 is the closest I could find as a replacement, and though it's not quite the Goldilocks that the Rasul is, it's not far off. The B35 is worth a look too for something a little more dainty. I asked Molletta if there would ever be...

    What Droppings?

    Much as I agree that it’s good to see you back, you’re a disgusting young lady :tongue:

    What Droppings?

    Not only do I look at the title and think you’ve perhaps reached a certain age and are denying soiling yourself, but now you’re actually hands and knees sniffing the stuff. :lmao:

    New Mora Farnas

    An artistic feature ;) It’s nicely radiused here and very comfortable, the butt end being good for firesteel scraping and mashing fibres. Might as well post my views on this Mora. I reckon it looks rubbish, badly finished and there are many other makers doing much better, much cheaper.

    New Mora Farnas

    It’s used as a feature too. Lionsteel have superb finishing and the tang isn’t flush on many of them.

    Opinel No 5 folder idea ?

    That's a tap with a hammer repair. I have a couple of No.5 and they'll only close on my finger if I'm prodding with the tip. Cuts with them, and SAKs are part of the learning ;) I'll have a think on a temporary lock. Anything, such as kydex, that doesn't fully encircle the choil, is likely to...

    Dangerous trees

    I’m worrying that a second mast year on the shallow rooted Beeches may be their swan song. Deeper rooted trees all produced masses last year but less this.

    National Risk Register/National Resilience Update - Nothing new to us.

    Picked this out of an email from a friend who’s running NEB showings in her area. There’s serious opposition to companies and the government making people aware. “There is a serious question… about why the public hasn’t been made aware of this assessment,”he said...

    I just bought... Casstrom Woodsman

    I don’t have a knife that uses it so can’t comment from personal experience. It has a good reputation.

    I just bought... Casstrom Woodsman

    Absolutely. I tend towards 3mm blades for that kind of blade length. 4mm on a scandi reduces versatility for me, it puts the knife much more firmly in the woodworking category and is less efficient at finer work and food prep. It's a bit less than a mm, the Jarv is 3.2mm (quite a sweet spot...

    Brewing coffee?

    Very old post to reply to, but I had a load of trouble with the SmartCafe mug I had until I realised I needed to tap the mug down on a work surface and wait for the grinds to sink. Otherwise they sit on the top, block the filter and then the hot coffee escapes past the seal. Now I know this they...

    I used to enjoy that too :D

    Brewing coffee?

    The Lavazza decaf whole bean is excellent.

    I just bought... Casstrom Woodsman

    Nice. I keep looking at the Jarv versions, preferring the thinner stock. No denying the Casstrom is one of the nicest looking bushcraft knives.
