    Where cani learn about knives.

    Please dont send this troll to other fora for advice - all that will do is waste peoples time elsewhere! As has been demonstrated here by the other threads asking for advice, then arguing with the responders or wanting to use tools illegally! The info. being asked for is readily available to...

    how do I know if the knife. is good.

    If you are going to use camp sites then why do you need an axe? A gas canisiter stove is lighter and more practical! Do you need a knife for each job or one that will do all, in a push? Mora Clipper or similar. Try to test this before starting out. Ask the same question for every item &...

    Decent reasonably priced compass

    Oh so true!!! Anything made by Silva, Recta or Suunto will suit you, degrees are easier to convert between map and magnetic north (but you only need the conversion to use mils) & a longer baseplate makes measuring distance on a map easier & someone mentioned an NL version - NL means...

    Knife making

    Anneal, shape both blade and tang, drill any rivet/bolt holes & rough grind to .5-1mm at the sharp edge but dont put an edge on it, heat treat, then fit the handle, the sharp edge is the very last thing you do.

    Suggestions on what to make from bronze

    Have fun working towards the damasaus gladius... I really fancy trying something in that area eventually... Broaches, fancy cloak pins, etc. There's a few LARP/Reneactment groups that might have some ideas of small stuff to get you started.

    Suggestions on what to make from bronze

    Axe, Anthromorphic hilt fittings, spear head, nut crackers. I'm sure that serpent, or dragon shapes from celtic or later art work could inspire decorative tools and jewelry! Have fun, & I cant wait to see some results.

    Need assistance identifying Karrimor KSB's I found in my mom's closet...

    The model and size should be on a label stitched on the back of the tongue & despite being well worn the model and size is still readable on my 9ish year old pair of these boots. KSB 200 GTX The only difference (I can see) in my boots and your photo is the fabric of the tongue and side panels...
