I love the little kit there Corso, really beautiful. I might put together something similar myself, what make are the torch and lighter if you don't mind me asking?

Well, my preferred pocket knife would be a red-handled Svord peasant mini, If it ever arrives!

Cheers,

Cheers Corso, thinking about making something similar for my brother and father (woods wandering pipe smokers the pair of them). I'll have to start hunting appropriate torches etc.

 

[Corso]

no problem got the peak direct from the company the countycomm I got from endtimesreport as county comm dont ship overseas

survival depot had them in a while back but were struggling to get them in

this ones not untidy though

I think I might do something similar in steel (peanut lighter, steel torch, joker knife), more industrial than steampunk maybe...

 

[Corso]

id always recommend a nice sodbuser - the new queen in micarta or maybe a case in black scales

jokers are ok by the blades are quite thin

I'm older, and one tends to accumulate things over the years. So, I have many pocket knives, all sorts and sizes, mostly gifts from friends and family, but I really only have three pocket knives like, two of which I carry, depend on, and use. They a Moose pattern and two trapper patterns. All three are two bladed, with a clip and a spey, they are the perfect pocket knife for a fur trapper: one blade for skinning and tight places, and one blade for splitting the tail. Of course, I use them for other things as well, the trapper, or the moose, are just about perfect knife choices. The moose is heavy and seems to be the sort Nessmuk preferred as well, it is certainly in his trio. All three of these knives are above 30 years old, and the Remington Bullet is showing real signs of wear on the clip blade. The old Eye Brand is carbon steel and I've never taken proper care of it. It will hold an edge though, and that's all the matters in the long run.

If not carrying my victorinox farmer it is a wegner soldier

 

[boney gumbo mcgee]

Always a Swiss army huntsman for me, I use it everyday at work and use it at home, out and about. It has never let me down.

 

[Modchop]

My Victorinox 'Compact' gets the most pocket time by far, I've quite a few folders but this one is pretty much perfect for my day to day needs.

 

[crucible]

I have three:

- the smallest is a small necker scalpel made by Danish knifemaker Jens Anso
- the second is a SAK Soldier
- the third is a Zero Tolerance ZT300BK folder- it's a tank, about the size of a Strider knives SMF folder

I carry the Anso and the SAK in my pockets, and the Zero Tolerance in my waistband or in a belt pouch.

 

[Corso]

Knife hasn't changed but I'm carrying it a bit differently - this is a prototype but seems to work quite well hanging off the belt and slipping into a pocket
