    Help needed finding a new axe handle

    I am not sure what type of axe it started out as, I got it when I was a boy, and the handle broke within a week. I put the head away for reworking later on. Now many years later I have reshaped and re-ground the edge. I think something in the 24" length would be good. Not sure about the...

    The Care and Feeding of a Swiss Army Knife

    Just to add my 2 cents worth, In my opinion the best thing you can do to your favorite SAK is to change the standard V grind cutting edge to a nice convex cutting edge. I have owned many SAK's over the years and never was really happy with the cutting edge/cutting efficiency. After...

    Which Bushcraft knife kit should I get?

    Thanks for the reply. I tried a search but the terms are to short. I also prefer a full convex grind. Since they are both makers of scandi grinds I was not sure how well a convex would turn out. The leaf custom finish looks amazing for sure! Thanks again.

    Are there any NTSC version of Ray Mears DVD's?

    I just got off the phone with JVC (my tv is JVC) they say my model will not support PAL, so I guess I am out of luck there. I will contact Woodlore and see what they say about buying the DVD's and having them converted to NTSC.

    Are there any NTSC version of Ray Mears DVD's?

    I found the unlock codes for my DVD player but I do not have any PAL or UK Region dvd's to test out. Does anyone know if you can rent any of the Ray Mears DVD's? I would hate to buy them thinking that I have unlocked my DVD player and getting them and not having them work. Any ideas or...
