Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I've had some Web-Tex kit in the past, and apart from the "paracord", which isn't the real thing, but is dirt cheap, I can't recommend any of it. A couple of guys I know who are cadet instructors have said pretty much the same. I have a friendly local surplus dealer who is of much the same opinion, who reckons its OK for cadets, but not for serious use. I haven't seen the combat knife, but if it's anything like the other stuff from them I have seen, I'd say don't bother.

I've just been looking through my files for info and had a look at the Web-tex website. When you say combat knife, did you mean the machete? because if that's the one you're thinking of, I've got the makers details, andI've bought direct from them in the (distant) past. They do a huge range of cutting tools, all good quality.
If you're simply looking for a basic but well made knife, I can recommend the Glock sawback combat knife. I had one for years, and passed it on to a mate when I left the services in 1991. He still has it and it's still going strong.
It depends how much money you're willing to spend, as I got an Extrema Ratio RAO folding knife as a present a couple of years ago that is absolutely brilliant, but I think my wife must have sold a kidney to pay for it.
Hope this helps.
