Just to echo what the others have said, I just love my T3. It started dark green and has faded to a lovely light greenish grey. I have worn it everywhere in the nineteen years that I have had it, the tropics, Scandinavia, all my fishing trips, horse riding in Spain and the US of A, and this...

I've had a Cascada for about 15 years now and I just love it The damn thing won't wear out! BUT, some of the negative points above are valid. They are warm, which doesn't bother me outside of high summer. I usually just wear a t shirt under it and roll the sleeves up. They can let in water...

Aww Dude, you just get better by the week. That is just lovely!

It depends on what you want from a SAK. My daily carry is a Spartan in black. All I need for work, dog walking and general wine opening! Takes a great edge as they all do. The handle is thin enough to be confortable but not wear a hole in my Levis. Out and about on bushy travels, then it's a...

Get a tanto KISS and hold onto it. I love mine and used it as my rescue knife when canoeing. It is just a very useful piece of steel.

If you are after tweed check out http://www.tweedmansvintage.co.uk/ I got a really nice Harris tweed jacket for £60 and their range is always changing so the one for you is maybe just round the corner. (no affiliation btw) My jacket is certainly the biz on cold days and it's a three button so...

Aye it is but it makes a great balaclava because of the length. One of these days someone will catch me down by the mouth of the North Esk birdwatching in the Paramo smock (Moss) and the merino Buff worn as a balaclava and call the police.:) Teal and Widgeon are flighty at the best of time so...

LOL:lmao: I forgot one more thing - my collection of Buffs. Merino for winter, normal for the rest of the year. Fantastic piece of kit. Goatboy, I live in Edzell Woods, near Brechin.

Tilley hat - now in it's fifteenth year Swanndri Ranger shirt - likewise! Paramo wind proof smock - light packable and very comfortable Blundstone boots - I have three pairs, work (steelies), dress and everything else. Just awesome, all year. Paramo Cascada jacket - for the worst weather, also...

As promised, here are a couple of photos of my wee hatchet. [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] The only clue as to the make of the hatchet is the barely ledgeable word "Lock". I have tried the interweb to find any axe makers by that name to no avail. Anyone heard of Lock axes? It's a bit of an...

I'll try and find time before the weekend is out to get some photos up. To be honest it just looks like a wee shiny hatchet with a shiny new handle, but if it could talk...!

Aw Dude, I LOVE the Opinel. Tell us more! Now! I have a similar set up but with a wee hatchet that has been in my family for around 80 years now. (on it's 4th handle if records are correct!) I keep chopping and changing between knives but keep coming back to my Enzo Trapper in Rosewood, but...

De-grease the blade, dry it and then put it in a glass of Dr Pepper for about two hours (check every ten minutes after the first hour) or Irn Bru for an hour (! dark!) Take it out, wash and dry the blade then strop the edge to bring the shine back and lightly oil the blade with 3 in 1. JOB DONE...

Go with the Farmer. Just file off the keyring loop and you have one of the best knives ever (just my humble opinion :)) Great blade, excellent saw, superb awl plus regular SAK features. It's my go to bushcraft knife that hangs round my neck every time I go out.

I normally don't get involved in this sort of discussion but I feel that I may have to share some experiences. I have done a lot of work in schools and universities. I work in the audio visual business and knives and sharp things are used daily. I recently worked in a private school in Aberdeen...

For what it's worth, here's my 2p. I bought a Pocket Rocket around ten or twelve years ago (must have been around the time they came out) and I have used it everywhere. Snow holes, canoe trips, fishing trips and so on. I bought a Trangia pot which I painted with motor cycle black exhaust paint...

OK, I'm in...:) Age 7 or 8 - Grandad gave me a Richards pocket knife off the cardboard display in the local shop (Duthies store, Tarves, Aberdeenshire) 10 - Mum and Dad bought me my first SAK Spartan (cut finger instantly, lesson learned) 10 - 14 assorted pocket knives from cardboard displays...

I've had a Moss coloured Fuera for about two years now and wouldn't swap it for anything. I carry it everywhere except when it is pouring down. It has been the one thing that I have packed for every trip. It packs small, cuts wind, keeps me warm with just a t-shirt under it, better over a...

I knew you'de like it! So what did you end up with? Did you make it or buy it?
