Portland Ultralites

  • BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I currently make a small range of knives that I call the Portland Series, named after a range of knives my parents and I made in the past, which in turn were named after the historic building in which my workshop is housed.

I also make what I call Ultralite versions of those knives.

The Ultralites are stripped back, skeletonised versions, so by their very nature, they are lighter, easier to carry, more discreet, easier to sterilise and keep clean in use.

They still afford the user all the cutting power clients have come to expect from one of my knives no matter where you find yourself, on the hill, forest, riverbank or boat, who doesn't need a dependable, slim and lightweight cutting tool within easy and safe reach?

3mm SF100 blade steel, perfect as a primary tool for ultralight fans, secondary carry or backup tool.

There are currently five models in the range, the originals being the 90, 120, 150 (all denoting blade length), more recently added are the 110BT (Bird & Trout) and the 140F (filleter).

Neck carry, pack or pocket carry, even strap it to your rifle sling, bino harness or fishing bag, the Kydex sheath makes carry options almost limitless.

I wouldn't expect to use one for hours with no hotspots, they are not bushcraft or butchery knives, that is not what they are designed to do and I make plenty of other knives that fit that bill, however for field use, backup use, get you out of the s**t use, they are super things.

Shown here are the 90, 120, 140F and 150.







Here the 110BT added in the centre (and bottom in second photo).





And a couple of sheathing/carry options, IWB clip or TekLok type belt clip.







 
Now you see I'm thinking here. I was talking to Mark about the need for a 90(F) as a B&T. 140 or even 120 is too much knife for the birds we process. I would like thinner too. 1.5mm or 2....

STOP you are dragging me back in :biggrin:
