Spyderco Resilience after 8yrs. NB: Some hunting/gore pics in post two, below: Resilience by name, resilience by nature? Obviously, a fixed blade knife suits bushcraft use better than a folder but I usually carry a folder as well, particularly if my main knife has a thick blade or Scandi...

Warning- some hunting pics behind spoiler tabs, below. A review of the Ray Mears designed Spyderco Wolfspyder This knife had a lot of appeal: 1. I like Spyderco's compression lock 2. I have an irrational fondness for Scandi grinds 3. I like knives that date to be "different" (up to a...

A short video and some photos of a little owl, last weekend.

I'm very impressed with Geoff Dann's new book (he posts on this forum in the fungi ID thread.) Here's the review I posted on Amazon (though I bought from publisher website.) "A beautifully executed and well-thought out book that would suit both the beginner and the afficionado. I have many...

In this sunny weather I though I'd post a quick reminder that some plant "saps" can cause a blistering reaction of the skin when exposed to sunlight. i was clearing styles with a knife on a sunny day 10 days ago. Usual hedgerow stuff- hawthorn, brambles, nettles and cow parsley. About 24-48hrs...

SOLD: I have for sale a brand new in bag, with tags Maxpedition S Type Jumbo Versipack Khaki. This is an excellent bag which I am only selling because, as you can see in the pics, I already have one! The bag is still in its wrapper, although there is a small split in the polythene...

Case Folder: It is new in "tin" and I have never carried or used it. It is a Case folder, but a tribute to C. Platts' Sons (it says this on the blade.) £45 posted and PP __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SOLD BNIB...

Page 9 of "Life" in the Sunday Telegraph. Apparently he makes bowls, or something...! Like most celebrities doing the publicity circuit, he's plugging his rather excellent book. Good work, Robin.

Postie delivered my Farid Mule in CPM REX121 this morning. I had planned to use Arizona Desert Ironwood for the scales but I didn't because: 1. I couldn't find the ADI 2. It's only a small knife and the ADI scales were a good size (wherever they are) so they'll be saved for something bigger...

I got up pretty early (for me) this morning -5am dressed. Took the dog for a longish ramble in the virgin snow to a pretty spot where it's high enough to see the sunrise. First pics before dawn: And as the sun came up the light changed rapidly: We were out for about 3hrs and...

(I posted this review on Britishblades yesterday. I thought it might be of interest to folk here who, like me, might have been hankering after a UK legal folder with a Scandi grind. The opinions expressed in this post are my own and do not represent the views of BushcraftUK, its members or...

My daughter spotted these bees in Devon last month. I assume it's a queen mating with a drone. Any apiarists care to comment? Ta

This is my experience of the Bento Box Shop's version of the Manix 2. Not an ideal bushcraft knife, of course, but a useful back up knife (and the full flat grind is much better for food prep than a scandi.) The obvious difference compared to the standard Manix 2 is the "tan" colour of the...

I saw a picture of our very own Robin Wood as one of the judges in the Balvenie/Sunday Telegraph Masters of Craft awards, today. Any chance of a free bottle of Scotch, Robin?

(This review was also posted on BB, apologies for duplication if you frequent both sites.) I ordered one of the seconds and left it to settle a few months. The cracks were almost invisible by that stage. As per the advice on the BritishBlades forum, I've filled the cracks and sealed the...

So far I only have two of Spyderco's Project Mule knives. For those not in the know, the Mule Team Project was started to allow knife afficionados to compare various steels using a standard blade shape. The blades are covered by Spyderco's warranty but it is up to the purchaser to fit scales...
