It was great the vast majority of the time and very well moderated. Just at the end things got nasty. I like EM but it’ll never replace BB. Not enough of the old team took it up.
The old Britishblades forum
- Thread starter spader
- Start date
There was occasional tension but you see it in all forums at some point. At the time, there were less social media options so the quantity of people there was more concentrated which probably pushed things.
There were some interesting threads that you could class as tension - someone faking being in a plane crash, someone faking that there were people making fake woodlore knives, someone faking a knife snapping (photos and all), someone faking being attacked by a mountain lion, someone faking that they had died!

Aah….the good old days…..I miss the regular spat between Martin and Danzo……magic times
And the random sales threads for a knife forum - I remember your ‘delight’ at someone selling Aylesbury ducks.
There was a guy had everyone debating legalities after he told a story of being arrested for having a small pocket knife - it latter turned out he'd been riding a bicycle naked at the time !
Think I remember that one, or perhaps was another. Got arrested for a SAK (medium sized, non locking), and the police officer apparently didn't like the cork screw.
I remember the corkscrew one.
Also the UKPK seized at I think the construction entrance to one of the Olympic sites?
I liked the fake helicopter crash and survival in russia , had people going for weeks
London Eye IIRC.
Never really understood the point of the fake stories - cui bono?
Ha ha, BB reminiscing !!
Was a mod on there from late 2003 for years, Martyn helped me out a lot with advice when I was new to forums. BB was a great forum and it is a shame that it went to the wall. Some very good people on there. Martyn and Danzo were both mods on here for a while.

No, I don't mind, there's space on here for it.You might stir up Edged Tools
Post some threads; educate folks about variety beyond 'bushcraft' practical, iimmc ?
Boss won't mind; he was long term member of BB too.
I think we all miss BB.
Whatever happened to Mojofilter and his great big grinder. (not a euphamism)

He’s still about. Not on the forums, but was at a recent camp out at The Lakes. I couldn’t make that one, but I hope the fires were lit with thermite as they were at a previous meet, a decade ago, where I left my Oztent poles after packing up in a storm.Whatever happened to Mojofilter and his great big grinder.

He got on a train in Glasgow with my poles and came all the way down the country to West Sussex for a weekend.
