    It would depend on the species, size for edible brown crab is 130mm across the shell I believe, spidercrab is 130mm for the male and 120mm for a female, shorecrab and velvet swimmers dont have a size limit, and they are best eaten just after peeling their old shell, although you can collect...

    Edge regrind from scandi to convex

    My post was NOT directed at you - if it was I would have named you.. my post was about being cautious with a worksharp which your post mentioned, sorry you're so sensitive and thanks for the personal insults and character assassination . And since you are hurt and wounded by my post Ive removed...

    Edge regrind from scandi to convex

    Can I just introduce a Word of Caution here, be very careful what you do to your knife, a worksharp will destroy it in 5 Secs if you dont know what you're doing.. 'Experts' will lead you into doing something you will later regret big time. If your knife doesnt do what you want sell it and buy...

    Whats Next??

    T.B.H. I haven't much use for pocket knives. The CPK knives look well made but I wouldnt describe any of them as Iconic? But thanks for the suggestions.

    Whats Next??

    Garcia wont answer emails and even if you managed to order one 10 yr waiting list, which means second hand is the only viable option and s/h they are rarer than hens teeth. I do have an 'order' in with a well known custom knife dealer but I'm not optimistic, which is why I purchased a Rob Evans...

    Whats Next??

    Thanks for the contribution but the only knife I found showing on their website is a canadian belt knife which I think is plain butt ugly. Im not looking for knives just for knives sake, Im trying to collect iconic sought after knives made that by the people that designed or made and/or used...

    Why no Production Skookum Bushtool

    It strikes me that this is a pointless discussion, neither of us is going to change our opinion because of what the other says so how about this?... How about you take out an advert in all the major papers around the world inviting all purchasers of 'Copycat' Bushtools to calculate say 20% of...

    Why no Production Skookum Bushtool

    Oh C'mon now!!!, Mors was pretty specific about the details of the handle' - handle back should be in line with the blade spine, handle should fit the hand ie 4 1/2" ish long, made of weather resistant material,ie micarta, no front finger guard! Capable of taking an impact on the pommel.What do...

    Preparing for troubled times ahead - Advice on what is needed.....

    Then why didnt you say that in the first place instead of that nonsensical rubbish you posted. What has colloidal silver, Pagan biker gangs and zombies got to do with hay box cooking!?? You have a very obscure sense of humour my friend. Doesnt matter how funny you think you are if others dont...

    Why no Production Skookum Bushtool

    Im happy to leave others to read Mors requirements and make up their own minds but I stand by my opinion that its more Mors design than Rod Garcias.

    Why no Production Skookum Bushtool

    Having watched the videos where Mors and Rod described the designing and thinking behind the Skookum I think Mr Garcia would have a hard time claiming the design as his own. Lets be honest Mors was pretty specific and detailed about what he wanted in the ideal knife, and based on those...

    Preparing for troubled times ahead - Advice on what is needed.....

    T.b.h. I was only 5 so the specifics are a bit faded. I THINK grandma browned and seasoned the joint first which was invariably beef, it was a big family so a chicken wouldnt have been enough. I think it was put in a roasting tray with any juices/ dripping then wrapped in muslin cloth??? to keep...

    Preparing for troubled times ahead - Advice on what is needed.....

    Its not My idea. I remember watching my grandad putting the Sunday joint into a galvanised metal bin full of wet hay out in the back yard then covering it with a lid and wrapping it with a WW2 canvas tarp to keep the heat in. This would be Saturday afternoon and I was 5 or 6 at the time - the...
