    Xmas Knife!

    No need to apologize--Opinions vary! But I'm not an either/or kinda person when it comes to different grinds. Different things work for different people. Gracie

    Xmas Knife!

    The thorns were not long. The stick I debarked? It's about the size of my forefinger and I can't break it. Doesn't even bend. So I'm going to try and ID it somehow. Gracie

    Xmas Knife!

    The mistake I made is to not evaluate/identify the wood I was working with. The knife came razor sharp out of the box. However, when I started carving/debarking some branches left in a lot. Had I have done that, I would have realized that this was Black Locust wood and is INCREDIBLY hard. I...

    SERE Loadout

    I found this video and learned something new! He uses cotton balls soaked with WD-40 for tinder. It also can be used to clean gear. Never heard of that. Vaseline, yes but WD-40?

    Who was the genius who conned us into believing we need a fixed blade knife for bushcraft?

    How many Americans are here?

    I'm asking because I have some blades I intend to sell, but I'm only shipping to CONUS. So I'm looking for a place to sell them. I want to get the most exposure to that demographic. I don't really want to pay $30 for a membership to BladeForums because I don't go there that often. I'd rather...

    Who was the genius who conned us into believing we need a fixed blade knife for bushcraft?

    FIr Kephart's statement has to be taken in historical and geographical context. His comment had more to do with the knives being sold in the US at the time. YouTube is absolutely filled with people evaluating knives based on whether it could be used to baton, feather stick. The blades you...

    Pocket knives (folding knives) have been around for centuries. Carried even by Mountain Men in the early US. Generally they were known as "Clasp Knives" But they had enough sense not to make it their mainstay. And they always carried some sort of hatchet/axe/hawk. Now an argument could be made...
