I would welcome some advice on the legal aspect of selling a knife on here. With all the bad press that knives get I wonder if it is even worth the effort trying to sell one. When I have bought knives from retailers they have required proof of age and address. I assume the law might expect me...

I've decided to try wet and dry for sharpening my Moras. If somebody could kindly tell me the top and bottom ends of grit sizes which fall into the medium category for sharpening, I will then know which are considered fine and which coarse. Thank you.

Well, I now have my strop set up and have managed to get some of the green compound on it, although it was as hard as nails, and I think I will have to melt it a little and add more later. I'm not even sure how much compound is enough. Made me wish I had gone for that German paste which spreads...

I bought a worksharp tilting bench sharpening kit recently and have just tried it out. I have one or two knives (two Mora Companions and a Hultafors heavy duty, plus an Ontario Rat 1) but they are all razor sharp as they have not yet been used. The only one that is blunt is my 12 old Spyderco...

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but the most of the land in the UK seems to be under private ownership. And I assume there are restrictions about what you can do in national parks. As far as I know there are all sorts of rules about where you can pitch a tent, cut down wood and make...

I have just received three cheap Swedish knives, one stainless, two carbon. This is the first time I have bought a knife with a carbon blade, and so I would appreciate a bit of advice. I don't intend to experiment with patinas at the moment, so I just want a food safe oil to prevent rust. I...

This is the one which tilts and has guides to help beginners maintain an angle. However there are two versions on the market. One has guides of 20 and 17 degrees, and the other 20 and 25 degrees. The latter is substantially cheaper. I could buy it plus a couple of Moras for the same price as...

I have listened to advice from members and I am going to buy a Worksharp guided bench sharpener and Mora companion and learn how to sharpen my knives. At some point in the future I would like to pick up a Terava Jääkäripuukko 110, but I have a question about it. I am not comfortable with carbon...

I have been interested in this general purpose knife for some time. Although the blade steel is only 420HC it have been well treated, since it gets excellent reviews, even from people who spend hundreds on a knife. It seems to be well balanced, capable of various tasks and surprisingly tough...
