    Bushcraft Knife - Stuart Mitchell

    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...

    Outstanding custom scandi

    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...

    Snowlsed ventile colours?

    Here's my fourth attempt at a knife. This is another that was posted on BB first, so again apologies if you've seen it before. :rolleyes: 95mm stainless Eklund blade, birch scales, the obligatory vulcanised liners, Loveless bolts, brass lanyard tube. Rather garish liners...

    My take on the WM1

    Hi all, Finished this a while ago and posted on BB, but forgot to post it here. Apologies if any of you have seen it before... :rolleyes: I like a handy little utility/whittler and love Fallkniven's blades so a custom WM1 was an obvious choice :) The blade is slightly modified as I...

    First knife - at last

    Hi all, Damn thing's been 'in progress' for ages. :lmao: I've already posted it up on BB, and thought I ought to give it an airing here too... It's nothing clever; the idea was just to practice some techniques and make myself something that fitted my hand on the lowest budget possible...

    Ullfrotte 600g jacket

    Hi all, I'm selling a 600g Ullfrotte jacket. This is the heaviest weight one with full zip and thumb loops. It's olive green and XXL in size. Light use but excellent condition. I'm selling as it's a bit too big for me (I'm a 44" chest and this is just big enough to be annoying :) )...

    British flint firelighting

    Right, this arose from another thread about prehistoric technology - it made me realise how much I don't know... All you flint and steel fans out there might be able to help with an age-old archaeological mystery (well I think it is anyway). Have you ever thought about whether there would be...

    Swanndri Hunting Cap

    Hi all, Just got one of these: http://www.bushwear.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=6 Looks slightly ridiculous but wears nice. Very warm and it's in the heavyweight grade of Swannie wool so will shed water pretty well too. A proper natural fibre alternative to the Lowe...

    Nessmuk question. And favourite quote...

    Just finished an enjoyable re-reading of Bushcraft and Camping . And I've got two questions: The first concerns the very last paragraph that goes: "And with kindness to all true woodsmen; and with malice toward none, save the trout-hog, the netter, the cruster, and skin butcher, let us...

    Best value bushcraft clothing...

    Hi, I posted on another thread and got thinking about a favourite bit of kit and it gave me the idea for a daft Friday thread... Right. What item of clothing have you really got your money's worth from? Not necessarily for Bushcrafty things, just a reliable bit of outdoors kit. I reckon...

    Wetterlings LHA

    Hi all, I've got a Wetterlings Long (or is it 'Large'?) Hunting Axe to sell. Brand new and unused (still has the little tag on the handle...) Bought 'by mistake' - Doh! I ordered it just before deciding to get an axe made for me. Joe at Extreme Outdoor Gear has them for sale at £25...

    Bits'n'bobs

    Anyone interested in the following? General stuff Swannie Ranger. Size 46 , Black Watch tartan. Bit big for me, hardly ever used. Excellent condition, apart from a bit of scruffy stitching around the pocket - not weak or loose, just a little untidy. £30 Fallkniven DC3 whetstone (the...

    Saxon felling axe - maker?

    Hi All, I realise I should probably post this on BB as well, but I'll start here first. I'm thinking of having an axe made and was wondering if anybody out there knew someone willing/able to do it. I'd like to commission a Saxon felling axe to use for some general bushcraft tasks. It...

    Hello all

    Hi, :wave: I've been lurking about for a while - peering through the virtual bushes - at what is a great site. I've learned an awful lot already, so thought it was time I joined in properly... I suppose my main interests are kit (particularly clothing as I spend most of my working life...
