    Which knife would you remake in a better/different steel?

    Oh while I’m at it, a SAK Alox solo and a blade with magnacut, Elmax, M390, LC200N, VG-10…. Really any half decent stainless and not that crumby steel they keep using as their main blades that you have to touch up after every day.

    Which knife would you remake in a better/different steel?

    The Esee Izula 2 Was my most carried and used fixed blade for a while. Perfect overall size - unobtrusive worn round the neck or in the pocket, had excellent neutral ergonomics and had a blade size that was just about ideal for a lot of my outdoor pursuits. What I did not like and what...

About a dozen or so wears...

    Cheap Screwfix Axe

    They come up pretty nice. Good job. Ive noticed that Screwfix do the 1lb version for £11 too. That seems great value for money if they hold an edge reasonably well and are not too soft.

    Treasure Hunts

    I did a treasure hunt for my daughters 11th birthday during lockdown last year. It was basically a zero tech geo cache - Instead of coordinates I used a simple map - a hand drawn sketch of the where the cache was and An “X” marks the spot. It don’t know the proper name for it but it was a...

    New Ray Mears knife with marked blade

    If you show the pic here there’s a good chance someone will be able to explain what has happened to the steel. It might put your mind at rest or give you cause to take it up with Woodlore.
