That's hardly surprising though, is it, it's a gorgeous piece of kit. Solid, comfortable & capable. Loving mine more each time I use it.

Wow. Well, thanks all for the mine of information.

Yes, strikes me as odd too. Interesting though nonetheless. I was expecting a carbon steel blade and was after one. But this has had me thinking. My reason for wanting carbon over stainless was due to the oft quoted sharpness thing... (I hope I have this right) "Carbon steel will hold a...

Cool. Groovy. Thanks.

Great knife indeed. However, how do I tell if I've got the stainless steel or carbon steel version? The website I bought it from said, and I quote, "triple laminated carbon steel blade". But it's very shiny. How do you tell? Can you get such a high polish finish to a carbon steel blade? Am I...

Got my Helle Temagami. Wow. Fantastic knife. A scandi grind is a bit of a revelation after a convex grind.

Um ... no. It all looks the same to me.

I was a little surprised that they didn't want to know, but likewise I didn't push it either. However, there's no need to get into them about their customer service. Despite what seems like massed raised eyebrows, dropped jaws and exclamation of 'You broke an F1? #*&@!!!' the fact remains that I...

I contacted them when it happened. They didn't want to know. They quoted the proper legal situation in that I have privity of contract with the person(s) who supplied it to me, which is fair enough I suppose. I think it was about to run out of warranty so I didn't push it. I got it from Trueways...

What, a four inch knife shaped nail.

Oh, go on then...

I'd rather not talk about it in public* but it's safe to say that I've examined the way I used the knife and believe I can identify the two points in time that lead to me breaking it. As far as using a Helle, or any other knife, like that again then I can safely say that I won't be. I've...

It's time to get a new knife to replace my F1 (snapped, batoning, my bad) and I'm looking at getting an Helle. I've had all my tang related questions answered by reading a thread dedicated to the subject, which was great. I think the only question I have left is regarding blade size and...

And it will take about two seconds for the parents to blame anyone else except themselves or the child. For God's sake, will people just stop trying to say he's dangerous. He's not. He's perfectly capable of doing the things he does. Not everyone is. If someone tries something he does and gets...

Then isn't that their fault, not Bear's?

I don't think he gives out incorrect advice. He gives out advice for a situation he's put in by the TV company. People aren't going to try to eat live frog's or abseil down waterfalls just because. And anyway - why can't people eat live frogs and abseil down waterfalls if they want to. The fun...

I'm not so sure that having a gung ho attitude is a bad thing here. He's already gone on record that he would like the scouts to move away from the health and safety conscious world and get back to the days when a scout could light a fire and open a pen knife with fear of cutting himself. And...

What's that sound? Oh, that would be the dulcet tones of someone hitting the nail on the head.

Interesting points. There are only so many types of terrain on this planet, so the risk of repeating them is high. But his Born Survivor programmes are designed to be watched and enjoyed as entertainment. They're not as educational as others, maybe because others do that differently / better...

So, in answer to one of your original questions - it would appear not then. What I've read is disappointing. People don't seem to be willing to discuss, but they are willing to ram opinions down throats forcefully in the absence of discussion.
