That’s awesome, thank you! Hope the heck did I miss that :0)

Hi, Super old thread I know - I’ve been searching for a good Froe to use when splitting wood to create carving blanks (for spoons, bowls etc.). I’ve seen the Gransfors Bruks Froe, and the far less expensive Ray Iles premium Froe - but I’d rather support a craftsman than get something mass...

Very wise words Kav and so take your point! I actually saw that someone has a sale on the Kelly kettle basecamp complete set and was wondering if that would be a better place to put my funds right now - I’m not very good at saving, can you tell? :0) On reflection , given all the great advice...

Lol, I certainly do and I completely get where you’re coming from on the Victorinox side! I didn’t even mention that I have a Gerber multi-tool that I keep in my van tool kit (I have a VW California that’s mostly used for solo kayaking and surfing trips, or family roadtrips around Europe)...

Thank you! Just had a look at York Knife and they look really interesting (and lots of other interesting bits too!) Does anyone have one of their companion knives or another one - any specific feedback or recommendations? Will have a look at the other listed knives in a mo.

Hi all, First post other than introduction, I hope this is the right section to post my question in but please let me know if not and I’ll move it! The question I’d like to ask is if anyone has any recommendations for a companion / smaller knife? For context: I have various bits of kit that...

Thanks for the welcome everyone! First question is a bit meta - I was going to ask for a recommendation on a companion / smaller knife to take with me but not sure which section that should go in? Can someone direct me please and I’ll post it in the appropriate place. The question I’d like to...

Thanks all!
