Grrrr
do you reckon there's a use for the marlin spike when out in the woods?
trying to think of one that doesn't involve stabbing hole in stuff..

My maiden name is Nowill, we're one of the 'younger son' descendants from the cutlersI'm real proud of the heritage... lovely, well made knives and a huuuugggge amount of family history including a Master Cutler
Wow, I'll sort you a razor then! Great to hear it's in your blood and it would be rude to not have a piece of history back in the family. Nobody has to use it but it would make sense to have one...thanks for the reply!
... I also use a modded opinel No9 ~ but any and all pics are on PhotoBucket and, for whatever reason, PB doen't like granting me access to my pics.
I can be a persistant beggar
I finally managed to weedle my way into PB ~ inventing a few new words along the way ...
... I really need to take some better pics
I used to have a good K-bar one, but with different knife laws, have a handy Victorinox now as well.
Hi Samon
I use mine for undoing knots, especially when my hands are cold. Plus, you really never know when the need to make a good hole will crop up
Sack
My favourite was my Leatherman PST. Had it since I was 14, but it was stolen from me when my house was broken into when I was a student living in Coventry. My old faithful, it was , though I have my Spartan SAK, which I acquired aged 9 or so from tokens on the bag of Quaker Oat Cereal, if I recall...
I bought a British Army Knife (which could do with a sharpen...) to replace it, but it's not strictly legal being a locker... I'd really love a nice EDC again. A friction folder with a Scandi grind would be fun.

Currently a Marbles Handyman for EDC:
A Svord I'm part way though reshaping /rehandling still gets the old slabs on and carried if I'm off into the hills.
I also have a couple of FGYT's lovely DFF blades, one a flat grind one a scandi that I'm trying to work up the courage to fit with handles, got a pair of black & a pair of blonde horn slabs ready to do it with - just want to do them justice.

Anyone seen this yet?? http://www.heinnie.com/Slim-Metal-PK-Peasant-Knife/p--8252/

Sorry to say it but as much as I love Svord, this looks shabby to me - Those raised bolts look uncomfortable and I hate the scales.
bit too crude, you reckon? I'd love a svord blade put into a decent solid handle that's been pinned. My alst one had lveoly walnut scalesn that were donated to me but it got lost when I was working a few months back. (still carrying that clasp knife you gave me magentus!)
The metal handled Svords are very crude, not nice at all.
However, if you sourced some longer bolts and some nice wood scales, those metal scales would make good liners. That would give you a very solid knife.
* can a Mod please change the name of this thread to 'what's your favourite pocket knife? + Pic's' please!?
