Couldn’t believe the (low) price that Farid was asking for these D6 knives at the Sharp Show yesterday. I had one of his D6 bushcraft blades (handled by Rob Evans) around 10 years ago and it cut better than anything else I have ever had. I can’t attach a picture that I took yesterday but...

Hi All, Not posted for ages but frequent visitor! My 7 year old son is itching to copy his Dad making firsticks, tent pegs etc. I know this has been covered before but searches reveal old threads with inactive links. So, what would you suggest as his first knife? I have seen that...

Hi all. Wondering how sharp you guys think a knife needs to be for bushcraft? My AW bushcraft knife still has its original edge which was never hair shaving sharp. Thinking about sharpening it - how do you tell if it needs it? Thanks.

Hi - Grateful for any advice from owners of Gerd's knives (http://www.mamut.com/gjknives). Quality, handling, value for money and service please. His curly birch handled felleskap is in competition with the Woodlores in my mind (actually it is winning the competition). His work looks...

Go on, spend it for me! After way too long making do with various knives for bushcraft (Chris Reeves fixed and folder, spyderco and Fallkniven), I have decided to buy a quality piece that is designed for what it is intended to be used for. Naturally enough I am tempted to get a Woodlore -...
