Samurai js300 saw review

I've been using a small garden centre standard folding pruning saw for a long time now, the blade length is probably 150mm or thereabouts. It does a great job of occasional cutting, but when it comes to putting a shift in it's a little uncomfortable, a little bit inefficient and it can really...

Spotted these on Varustelekas site varusteleka.com/en/product/interestingly-sharp-terava-jaakaripuukko-b-quality/65327 Super cheap but might need a little work.

So, I bought one of these which arrived today. As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with it! Bargain for less than £20!

I've one on the way. I already have a standard one that I've always fancied rehandling but I don't mind messing one up for under £20. I do like the standard rubber grip but I like the idea of stacked leather.

For a stacked leather handle, you may need to find out what kind of tang is on the knife. It looks like it may be a partial tang, like a mora.
I'm sure I'll be corrected.

A somewhat shaped skeleton full tang.

Usually they sell only the blades too.

It's a substantial stick tang that extends out of the rear of the handle to form the distinctive loop. I'm thinking remove the loop and forge out the tang a bit, the handle already being quite generous in length. The beefy tang should give support to the leather. Think Kabar rather than Mora.

Strangely they only do the bare blades for the large skrama and the small knives, not the 110 and 140mm blades.

Stanley Adventure (two cup) Cookset

Hi all

Quite a few bushcrafters in the US rave about a small cook kit produced by Stanley consisting of a 24oz stainless steel mug with lid and two nesting insulated cups. I've been looking for a while but most UK prices are quite high for the size of the kit (good for a day out but maybe not big enough for an over nighter, depending on your needs).

However Amazon UK are currently selling it for £7.79 plus £4.18 shipping (via Amazon US). I've ordered one.

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

Thank you I've bought a couple to put into Christmas stockings .....I didn't know that Savers delivered....I'm now a few pennies short of £35 poorer, but I have an order of all sorts of useful stuff coming
Very handy in these times of covid-19.

[Toddy]

Three days later and I'm really pleased to say that my order from Savers has arrived
Everything good about it, and the tins that I went onto their site for a looksee are substantial, a little bigger than I expected somehow, but look awfully useful....and they've got Dove men's stuff inside too. A bargain at £2.99
They even sent me freebies, laundry capsules and a perfume sample too.

Cheers @Bishop
The heads up is appreciated
