I have a couple of the patches somewhere about the house. I've handled the BB forum knife, blade only, that stu had set in motion, it was in truth a bit large for my dainty paws! I do miss BB, a lot of useful threads on modified knives and 'how to' have been lost. I'm on em and rof, a fair few who left em went over to Instagram but I decided I had enough online account. There are a good few on Facebook too.
The old Britishblades forum

I agree. I have one of his blades handled by another member. Also have a pocket folder by the bloke that worked at Taylors Eye Witness, R White was it Richard? Met him when I visited Sheffield.
As long as he washes it first it should be OK. I doubt it’s been well used.
Ooh, that’s a rare thing. I remember a photoshopped pic of one of the royals (Charles or Philip) waving to the masses from the car with one of those on his finger.
Thanks for that. Cant remember what year, it was when Portland Works was under threat and we met Russel, Robin Wood, Stu (I think), Trevor Ablett, etc.
I think the law section is one of the most useful bits that is now lost, especially when you had input from Police officers and Customs people.
I think I still have some of the prototype bolts for the handle here.Stu wanted them in stainless with a slot big enough to take a 2p piece so the handle could be stripped down in the field.The plan was for a hollow handle.
I have some. It was never actually made beyond the proto.
It's on my list to make something similar.

So, a few BBers still about. Good to hear from you all.
Wow Great stories and posts thank you. I had been a member of BB 2-3 years or even 5, I cannot remember myself now. But that was the time when I had been trying to make my own bushcrafters with old circular saw blades in the shed. I think I still have them in the shed somewhere.
Yesterday suddenly I remembered the BB times, and wondered what happened to the site and all the members. I think there were many sub forums and its own moderators whom I cannot recall at all.
I think some of them (handful) including me are in this forum.
But the passion for DIYing own bushcrafters or choppers had gone. Now just playing with SAKs or MultiTools
Here we have this forum, Edged Tools, and we can keep on discussing about the good tools. I don't use FB that much, but I will try a wee visit to the other new sites mentioned in this thread too, and see what they are up to up there.
cheers.
