Thanks for the suggestions. I'll investigate them further. I'm terrible at sharpening blades on a stone but some of the Lanky and Work Sharp products look much easier to use.

Monday price drop - £90 I think this will be the last price drop. Even though I don't use it it's too nice to let it go for less £90.

Another alternative to the Soldier's knife is the Ranger 78 M Grip. It has an identical tool set as the Soldiers knife but has a straight blade and the locking mechanism is optimized for right handed people. It also has a toothpick and tweezers in it too. The main thing that put me off this...

It's clear from all of the reviews that there's a market out there which wants a modified version of the Soldier's knife with a non-serrated blade. I'm sure if Victorinox fitted it with the straight blade from a Forrester M Grip they would sell loads more of them. Doubly so if there was also a...

Yeah the saw does work well for something so small.

I was tempted to do the same myself at first but in the end decided to keep it serrated as I tend to cut quite a lot of rope so the serrations do come in handy. I expect that with prolonged use after many years the repeated sharpenings will gradually remove material from the blade and it will...

I've just been watching some reviews of the Soldier's knife on Youtube to see what other people think about it and stumbled across one by Joe X with his usual unique style of 'testing' that he does. The Soldier's knife stands up to abuse remarkably well for a non-fixed blade multi-tool style of...

That knife looks fantastic! What model is that?

Weekend price drop - £95 I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. It's a lovely little knife.

I’m not sure if this will be of any interest to anyone but I thought I would share impressions of my favorite knife, the Victorinox Soldier's Knife 08 (bottom). This is the actual model which is currently issued to all Swiss and German soldiers. I’ll also compare it to another popular Victorinox...

Bloody rain! :D

So basically rather than being a regular filter this is a solar powered disinfectant generator which can then be added to water to make it's safe to drink? It’s a neat idea. This reminds me of a video I saw a few years ago showing how swimming pool disinfectant (calcium hypochlorite powder) can...

That's tricky then. Maybe move your bedroom to another room or downstairs?

Modern double glazing can be very difficult to smash so you may want to consider keeping a glass breaker tool on the window sill in case of an emergency. Once the window is open/glass smashed hang out by your finger tips and dangle down to get you feet as close to the ground as possible. Keep...

Before reading your post I wasn’t aware of this so I did a quick search to see what popped up. It appears that the Home Office have indeed recently put out a tender for mass fatality tents, mortuary equipment and other related supplies. I also saw one article which quotes the Home Office as...

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love One of my favorite albums of all time.

Monday price drop - £100

Or is that just what the reptilian shape shifting overlords want you to think?
