works when i click it... try googling Okapi Knives

Has any one had any experience with these knives? I am thinking of buying a machete or bush knife from them to see how they go... they seem cheap and are made of carbon steel but i guess i would like to hear some first hand experience. http://www.okapi-knives.com/

Any news on the review?

so whats your choice for a every day use and bushcraft tool?

I bought the Belt knife and the finn bear. They arrived yesterday and i must say that i am pretty impressed with them so far. They are cheap and seem well made for the price and come shaving sharp out of the box! It will be interesting to see what the consensus on this forum will be.....

Id love to know how these are made and what the possibility of re-handling is.... i have just bought the belt knife and finn bear so i don't need to be in the pass around.... i look forward to the reviews!

Any one know what the tang construction for these knives are?

Other option is a wetterlingers long hunters axe. Thats what i carry on my 35l pack.

I've been thinking the same thing... i have a usmc bag and think i should be abel to sew some sort of fly wire into the bag without to much of a problem. The other option is mossie head nets. They work pretty well combined with long sleves.

Dont forget the US one aswell...

Here in Australia White gas is sold as Shelite and is a couple of bucks for a litre which lasts for a good week or so of SOLID use. I have a Dragonfly, but i wish the simmer lite was around when i was buying it as the Dragon fly is SUPER LOUD!

I think what i'd do is spray paint it. I have used a matte black paint on an old bag of mine that was a faded black cordura and it came up looking good. It does fade with time tho. Its not a perfect solution but its quick, non messy and would work ok.

The Fallkniven FK-U2 is Awesome although a bit pricey...... I'd reccomend it although i love just about all things Fallkniven.
