Hi

I'm a new member - I joined because I'm in the market for a bushcraft knife and this looks good to me. I was thinking of a TBS Boar but I like that this knife is unique.

So, can I buy it?

Thanks!

Jim

Argh! I really want to but can’t find a ‘buy it now’ button haha. What’s the protocol?

Craeg will send you a message in due course

Yeah, don't worry, I won't snipe you

I appreciate that, thanks! But the knife sold to someone else.

I've ordered a Helle Temagami which looks the business. Cheers!

@Jimin The Helle Temagami is a very good knife, but I would not baton with it. Helle after sales care is also amazing.

Ray Mears has often been noted to give a helle as a gift

Thanks for that. Yeah the steel is known to get scratched when battoning, right? I work at forest school and we have axes for that anyway. I spent a few hours researching knives and came to the conclusion that no knife does everything, and I'm likely to end up with a collection anyway. I'll mainly use it for carving, feathersticks and showing off.

I like the Ray Mears connection, too... he knows a thing or two, I hear

Yes it will mark on the softer steel in use, it is a liminated steel, 304 or 18/8 stainless clad, with 12c27 core. Great knife and easy to sharpen.

The one you missed in this post was a good example of a trade knife....i was tempted too

I can't wait for it to arrive. At work today, a tall silver birch dropped a branch for us so we've got plenty of spoon making material.

Are you a bushcraft enthusiast or do you work in the field? I work at forest school with vulnerable kids - I have loads of experience with the client group, but my bushcraft knowledge is minimal. It's a steep learning curve but I absolutely love it. Six months ago it took me three hours to boil a kettle - now I can make you a cuppa in half an hour, haha!
