Not a proper knife I know... But we have had lots of success with 7-11 yr olds using those straight potato peelers for whittling. They're surprisingly effective for simple cuts. Get used a lot on experimental archaeology days that a colleague runs here in Suffolk County Council. They're...

Thanks Dougster, you're not wrong. Good knife. But it's now sold.

Hi everybody, This is for sale over on BB as well. It's been there a couple of days and hands have been kept firmly in pockets, so I thought I'd try for some extra exposure here...:) This is a fantastic version of a commonly copied knife. It's not Stu's fault - I commissioned it :D...

All sold now. Thanks fellas.

Silly price drop (see above) - bargain time :)

Apologies Dave - you were just beaten to it by a PM on British Blades. :)

Hi all, Jiggling around my sleeping kit - so these are surplus to requirements. A Thermarest Ridgerest. Used just once. Closed cell waffle type thing (silver). Surprisingly effective. 400g, 183cm x 51cm x 1.5, packed size 53cm x 12cm (but can be folded as well). "Insulation Value" 2.6...

Cracking link dave - haven't seen that one before. Very useful. :)

Now sold. Thanks.

Bit of a price drop. Now the same as a Helle Harding from Heinnies...

I carry similar (although the axe is just a GB) and if I'm honest the knife is the least used. Pretty much restricted to food prep. The 'economy of effort' afforded by an axe is rather attractive :)

Jeepers! Sharp then? That's almost in straight razor territory :) I was going to make a comment about not wanting to take that as my only knife - but this is Red we're talking about... Don't think you travel light in the sharps department do you? ;) :D

I've now added the dimensions...

Looks interesting - nice overall shape (blade reminds me of a Frosts 115mm Lapplander with a spear point). What sort of edge angle are you going for? 3mm isn't very thick and will need quite a short bevel if it's going to have any strength as a zero-ground edge...

Hi all, Following a recent impulse buy I'd like to sell this superb scandi . Made by Stephane Anken. It's a shame to have to do it, but I've convinced myself I can't afford to keep this one. I have a couple of other pieces by Stephane and this is as good an example of a traditional scandi...

That is really awful news. Deepest sympathies to all. Regards, Rod

I do that with a few of mine, but it isn't that pretty. It works well... but it isn't pretty. I'd hazard a guess that most people will have been trying to flatten the bevel completely - and removing unecessary metal. Strewth! There's either some very skillful blokes in that factory or a very...

Except it wouldn't be easier if you (as most people with a flat ground "bushcraft knife" would) laid the bevel flat on stones a la Mears... That particular knife was a bit of a 'special' anyhow. At the time, I don't know if the maker knew exactly what the "official buschraft method" or...

Yep, I reckon that won't be far off. Don't know how much variability there is in dye colours though. "Chocolate" to one company might be "very nasty Austin Allegro upholstery" to another. I'm tempted by the brown, but I don't want to end up looking like a hooded turd... Probably best to...

:D It is a rather vague description isn't it :rolleyes: I'll see if I can get them to send me a sample - but they're extremely difficult to get hold of. Goiod old-fashioned British customer service...
