    For Sale Spyderco Selection - (only one left Standard Serrated Edge)

    The twin blade at the bottom goes in the Dyad box. The one at the top in the Rookie box. The one in the middle isn't quite right for the remaining box as it's the serrated version but the box is for the plain edge. But it's better than no box. As a heads up, in terms of pricing you're...

    Sold Brad Duncan - Green Aftershock

    Sorry for the loss of your husband. So you're aware, this isn't a Spyderco. This looks to be a Brad Duncan Aftershock: https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/knives-by-maker/duncan-brad/

    For Sale ZT 0462 - CPM 20CV black and red carbon fibre

    Afternoon, For sale is a Zero Tolerance 0462 in black and red carbon fibre, with titanium lock side with steel interface insert and 4 inch CPM 20CV cutting edge (3.75 inch blade measurement is if you go from blade tip to tip of handle scale, the actual cutting edge is rather longer).

    Sold Spyderco Smock - carbon fibre CPM S30V folding knife

    Evening all, For sale is a very lightly used Spyderco Smock in carbon fibre and CPM S30V. This uses a button actuated compression lock, and is an incredibly addictive fidgeter and has a beautifully hollow ground reverse tanto blade. This has only ever been stropped by me having been used a few...

    For Sale WE Knives Double Helix - titanium folding knife

    Afternoon all, For sale is an unusual folding pocket knife, which uses a double helix lock that can be seen as somewhat akin to the Axis lock as the Reeve integral frame lock is to the liner lock - a beefed-up, solid titanium version, with the lock springs exposed on the exterior of the handle...

    Murril Forge - any experiences?

    Morning Bushcrafters, Does anyone have any experience and/or knowledge of Murrill Forge and their smithing courses? I can only find Google maps reviews, no other sources yet found, so was wondering if any of you have any info on them. https://www.murrillforge.co.uk/ It'll be the kitchen knife...

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    Not positive! They do seem to be recommended all over the place for diving, but there are also so so many reviews where it's unclear just how long they actually used them for, not to mention the potential conflict of interest if paid or supplied the unit to keep. Clearly sometimes they get...

    Wanted Dive computer - what do you have?

    Thank you as always for your input on these diving queries Ozmundo. Great point about not going all in at this stage - the ability to use a simpler one as a backup if I do progress on to fancier products is a very useful consideration. I'm definitely going to take tables down too, as that is...

    Wanted Dive computer - what do you have?

    Afternoon all, I'm starting out on my SCUBA journey and am looking for a dive computer. It will be used both in warmer climes and the UK, possibly year round if I can stomach it! At this stage the contenders are: Garmin Descent Mk2s (for its usability outside of the water, which let's face...

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    Ah, another Xtar warning! May I ask what went wrong with the one(s) you've had? I have never heard of LEP...just Googled it and they look incredibly cool. Not finding many that appear to be diving oriented - certainly some with kind of suitable depth ratings, but they seem to be more of a spec...

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    This is brilliant, thank you Ozmundo. Very good point on the button version being preferable to a twisty if on a hand mount. Much to learn! I've got a weekend UK inland dive coming up to try stuff out on, so shall see what I can borrow and have a go with from the club...whilst also trying out...

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    That is a really good point - I'd assumed the Fusion R had a lock-out as so many of the other button operated ones I've looked at do. It does not appear to have such a feature, which is irritating given how the slide button protrudes so much. That being said, I have indeed gone for it as it's...

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    Thank you for this Ozmundo - yes, the shine-back from particulates in the water must be quite dazzling from the really powerful ones, especially flood-type heads. I'm sticking with spotlights in this search at the moment, simply because I can imagine a floody one getting really annoying for both...

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    Likewise, and I must admit, I thought similar of OrcaTorch when looking compared to e.g. Mares etc. and also the lack of non-sponsored reviews. Enjoy the water! Do you find a spotlight 1000 lumens sufficient for murky UK waters? I've read conflicting advice on this, with some suggesting that's...

    Thank you Jared

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    Ah, so is it possible the others are reporting on the time it'll stay at full whack, whereas this one is tapering?

    Xtar flashlight runtime - bogus?

    Evening BCUK, I've recently taken up SCUBA diving and am looking for dive torches. In doing so, I've come across plenty of ~1000 lumen torches, running on a single 3500 mAh 18650, and most estimate runtimes of 1hr30-2hrs. However, this Xtar D20, also using a single 3500 mAh 18650 claims 4hr...
