Just wanted to share this: Last year, I sold my Enzo to a guy named Joost who was about to set on a 1-year trip to Africa for studying and observing chimpansees. A few months later he took the trouble of sending me a picture of the knife in use: How's that for letting you know...

Hi all, I want to buy a MaxP Jumbo Versipack. I have a Fatboy clone from China, and I always use it. Now I am looking for something bigger and more quality - thus the real thing. I use the Fatboy for bimbles in the woods and also for fishing (see avatar :D), so every (fishing)trip the...

Hi all, My grandfather turned 88, and he's still driving and has a Tomtom. Since he had no pouch for it, I made him one! JMdG are his initials. Thanks for looking! Thijs

Hi all, Dennis from Brisa sent me a new Fisher Enzo kit, because I gave some suggestions for details in the knife and the name. (He wrote out a competition on www.britishblades.com - best name wins a knife - I won, woohoo :D ) Here's the result. I blatantly stole inspiration from Rapidboy...

Gents, here's my 2 cents on using respiratory protection: I work with a Dutch professional tool wholesaler, and I am responsible for product info. In that respect I have recently dug in the equipment for personal protection, especially dust masks. For what it's worth, I have translated my...
