Cann't check on British Blades as works system prevents it.

Colin, I think Ed would like you to post the list here as he won't be able to access your link, with it being on British Blades.
I would have done it but I'm not allowed to access it! :-?

That's cos your usergroup doesnt have permission to access that page.
Hint, apply for BCCA membership.
Thanks for that Col, never saw it the first time round. For clarity, the list is the meta-tags for the site. They help search engines rank our site in terms of relevance to content and search words. Anyone can view the meta-tags easily by going to BB and clicking on "view > source" in your browser.
He may be using Websense or Surf Patrol at work, which restricts sites such as porn, race hate, extreme politics and fanaticism and firearms etc.
The categories are vague and I think BB will possibly come under firearms/weapons as a blocked hit. To show how mad some of the categories are, I was at work seaching for some info on the rock band "Led Zeppelin" and kept getting blocked from music sites. Had a word with our internet admin, and he said the sites were blocked because they contained the word "Zeppelin". Zeppelin being an airship of the German Luftwaffe was considered a weapon and as such sites were blocked. Mad as a hatful of polecats !!

Martyn has now removed a couple of the tags (can you guess what they are? :roll: 
) so anybody that's bin blocked might wanna try now :-D

So nothing containing the word frigate (isn't there a frigate bird?), no stalwarts (Alvis), no hogs (Humber), no bobmber (jackets), no fox (armoured car, or light tank?)...
K.
I'm not that up on this computer stuff, but I guess its like MadDave said it down to some sort of blocking at our end.
It is quiet intresting (annoying) what it will and wont let through.

Sorry sent that before I'm finished.
The reason I'm after someone local is that I'd like to see how it done before I have a go myself.
As I'm new(ish) to "serious" bushcraft - having playedat it since I was a kid, any recogmendation of a good cheap beginners/intermediate knife.
I was thinking of one of the Kellam Lapp pukkos.
Also I'm a southpaw - does it make any difference with these blades?
Cheers for your help

Ed,
I have two of the Wolverines & can attest to the quality, I cant say, however, that they'll stand up to the sort of pounding that I've heard you butchers give your poor knives! BUT, they're good knives as far as I can see
As they have a dangler type sheath, I see no reason why they shouldn't be used by deviants like yourself (you'll just have to ask Bagman, he's one too :roll: )
you obvioulsy havent seen the video of the Bushcraftuk team hammering a kellam puukko 4cm into a tree ninty degrees to the grain and jumping on the handle!!!!!!! :shock:
