But I've already got two! I don't need another one. Do I? Do I?? I'm sure there would be complaints from SWMBO.
I got two of these last week and it was still only a pound postage.
Arrived next day, very good service indeed. They're pretty good knives too, I'm still only a newbie at sharpening and I was impressed at how sharp they are out of the box. The handle is also slightly fatter than the Kellam I already had and feels a bit more comfortable.
Very impressive for the price.

Just got off the phone from placing my order, should arrive tomorrow. So far an excellently helpfull service.
Used to have a similar blade when I was subbed to Wilderness Times (it was the subscription freebie), that one held a good edge but was hard for me to sharpen as I wasnt used to the technique then. Am keen to see what a differnce 11 years has made (to me and the knifes I buy)

Well package has arrived safe and sound the next day - excellent service!
One question for people however, is I have tried to use the Fire Steel and its an absolute pig to generate a spark from and I have to press really hard and its making sizeable grooves in the steel, so;
whats the right technique to use, either with the lump of metal supplied or the Mora training knife I got.
should i be making grooves in the steel?

Sometimes the back edge of the Mora can be a little rounded, if you have a diamond stone or some wet and dry or a leatherman (wave with the diamond file) you can square the back edge of with that and you can generate a better spark.
The other option is the striker supplied
I hope one of the above will work for you and you can take some quite large bits out of a firesteel with the spine of the blade, but it would be better if you could post a picture of it so we could see if it was normal or not, all the best, Leon

The back of the ones I bought are a bit rounded and would definitley need filing to get it square. I haven't done my Mora's yet but it made a big difference to the cheap Kellam I have. I used a diamond file on the Kellam and it worked a treat, nice big fat sparks now.

Technically I think you're right, but I've bought both the knives & firesteels and saws from the company since I read this post and I wouldn't have known about them otherwise. The thread was pretty clearly labelled right from the start
I'm probably one of the worst offenders, but then I think there's a moral imperative to share a good bargain around

"Overtly commercial language is not acceptable, neither is the posting of prices, availability of products etc.
and yes post eight.
Bargains all.
Perhaps a change to the rule is required or perhaps the moderators can help?
Well, if you notice, rule 6 is directed primarily at Dealers & Traders. In other words, no advertising for commercial gain.

it would seem to me that post 8 is breaking that rule.
The poster didn't mean to break any rules and a quiet word is all that's needed. I always think it's better coming from someone else anyway
