I like the look of that LionSteel. The leather sheath would need swapping for a Kydex one but I expect that can be done.

The Garberg is actually already on my radar. I had considered ordering both a TBS Linx Compact and a Garberg together then sending one back once I've had a chance to feel them both in hand to see which one I like the most. But it is a bit bigger and heavier than what I'm ideally after though and...

I've been needing to water the dry soil around the metal stakes for our electric fences. The stakes stick deep into the soil to conduct electricity by forming a circuit through the ground when something touches the fence and the ground at the same time. But the ground at surface level has now...

I’m looking for suggestions for a small bushcraft style camp knife. It won’t be used for chopping or batoning, I just want a small slicer for general camp tasks which will include things like food prep, cord cutting and basic wood carving. It will also often be used and kept in a damp...

This knife is still for sale Price drop - £80

These Mandra knives are currently selling for £145 new. I will drop the price twice a week until it sells. The price starts at - £120 Now £115 Now £110 Now £105 Now £100 Now £95 Now £90

Helle Mandra I have a brand new unused Helle Mandra knife for sale. This is another knife which I bought it on a whim a couple of years ago because I thought it looked cool (it does!) but then never actually used and it has sat in a draw ever since. The Mandra knife was developed by Helle and...

Fallkniven F1 Anniversary Edition I have a brand new unused Fallkniven F1 Anniversary special edition knife for sale. I bought it on a whim two years ago when it first came out. Initially Fallkniven intended this Anniversary Edition to be the only version of the standard shape F1 which would be...

What knife is that?

Super 8 This is one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a while. It's like the best 80's kids adventure film that never was. I would have loved to have been able to watch this when I was primary school age. The trailer doesn't do it justice but you can't go wrong with a Spielberg film...

I think they should teach basic 'life skills' as a specific subject at school. Nothing complicated just a few simple things like being able to sew on a button or how to repair a rip in clothes. Other useful things which could be included are basic odd jobs like how to change a light bulb, rewire...

That was interesting (and weird).

We have plenty of battery and mains powered tools for obvious reasons of convenience (actually it's my girlfriend who owns most of the power tools :D ). I also have hand powered versions of all of the important tools. For example I have an old fashioned hand drill with a hand crank handle you...

I think Bob Dylan's best song is one which most people have never even heard of. It's a true story about a boxer named Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.

That's a cool video.

Ahh apologies. I missed that. A SAK definitely isn't for you then. Apart from some of the big single blade only models they all seem to have lots fiddly bits which are difficult to pull out with your nails.

Reading through the other SAK thread got me thinking about this comment... I wonder if maybe you're approaching the whole SAK thing totally wrong. By choosing one of the biggest, baddest SAK models available you seem to be wanting to use it as a replacement for a conventional knife. That's not...

I have never even heard of them until you mentioned it and I searched the word to see what it is. It's an interesting looking shape. What are your thoughts on the nessmuk?

I don't own either of these but i imagine the perfect two knife bushcraft set would be something like a Silky Nata for any big chopping, splitting and batoning tasks paired with a little TBS Lynx Compact knife for the smaller campfire tasks like fire starting stuff, any carving type of jobs and...
