Cheers Hoodoo, still thats pretty awesome for the price...:biggthump


Yup, with sheath and scales added, I don't have much over $100 in any of them. I think my stainless ats 34 was the most expensive.

As you can tell, I will use any excuse to shameless post a pic of one of my osf knives. :wave:

I use a Fallkniven F1 and it's the most expensive bit of kit I own! I'm looking for a new knife soon, though, and I'm thinking of getting one of them there puukko type ones... Not that there's anything wrong with the F1, however... I just fancy a change. I also use a cheap army surplus Golok, which does me just fine for cutting up firewood and matches the rest of my cheap ex-army kit. Good kit is cheap kit, if you ask me, and living in what is traditionally an army town it's all over the place!

Paganwolf,
That's a nice neck knife, who's it by? Is it your own design?

Hoodoo, did you rehandle the "Brute"?

Tahawk,

Yes, I removed the plastic slabs (slippery). I straight wrapped a layer of leather and added a paracord wrapping. This handle is indestructible and it gives a great yet comfortable grip. The only downside is that the paracord absorbs anything fluid, thus it's not great for skinning.

Cheers,

David

i've been trying to find out if its still possible to get an OSF blade.. dont think it is though!

Yeah but Nick's new bushcraft knife is a stunner. Prolly more pricey but we got Nick for the osf knife at a rock bottom price. He is incredible--and he's just a youngun. :shock:

Nick is rapidly becomming one of those that I look up to for guidance in better knife making. He has impressed me both in what I have seen online and from what I have heard him speak to me over the phone and email. He is, in my opinion, a real rising star. A star of which I hope to keep contact with.

wow!!!!! you guys have a kings ransom in knife steel--- make that a couple of kings and a duke or two!! I have a technique for you guys doing your own handles and such. If theres a shop where you can get boat repair materials, try getting some epoxy clearcoat, [brush on], and to it add a little of that non-slip additive they use on boat decks, makes a nearly indestuctable coating,very good grip and works really great over paracord. I have been using it for years,have not found anything better.

Hi there, Thanks for reading my post.
Maybe this has been asked before, but I was wondering wich main knife you use for Bushcraft? I mean the knife you don't leave home without when you go into the woods......
For myself: Knife : F1 Manufacturer: Fällkniven

Greetings, Jeroen

I also use an F1 and an F1 (both customised), but these days I tend to grab my "old" Felleskap (blade by Trond on British Blades, handle and sheath by me).
I make the sheaths different these days though.
