    Frederiek / Altti Kankaanpää puukko impressions

    When I first spotted this "airplane part" inspired knife on British Blades, it immediately appealed to me. It reminded me of one airplane in particular that I have fond memories of. Frederiek is fairly new to the BB forum and I have followed her work with interest. Scandinavian style blades...

    Stuart Mitchell "Survival Knife" Prototype (Pic Heavy)

    Martin Swinkels did the sheath for this one. The partial orange liners are mostly hidden by kydex but still perform the task of relocating the knife in snow etc. very well. The smaller hole through the bolster houses a 18mm Scout firesteel. It is small, but still long enough to get a decent...

    Yes, it is a bit out of focus but Stu marks all of his knives with his name and steel selection :mosquitos:

    Stuart Mitchell "Survival Knife" Prototype (Pic Heavy)

    The MkII version of Secare was finished yesterday and is currently on its way to be sheathed. Stu sent me these pictures to hold me over until I get the chance to look over and try out the differences between the prototype in the review and this one. I'll post some more when that moment arrives!

    Hiking the Albanian coastline (pic heavy)

    Thanks folks, I appreciate the nice comments and always enjoy seeing pictures of your trips. The insects were not too fierce, but as you said, the occasional blackfly or horsefly can be extremely annoying and persistent. My main adversaries were swarms of red ants and at night the mosquitos...

    Hiking the Albanian coastline (pic heavy)

    Had the pleasure of hiking the south Albanian coast this summer, not far from the Greek border in the Drino Valley. The idea was to hike south to Sarande, following the coastline as much as possible. This isn't always easy, as the coastline is volcanic in nature and consists of incredibly sharp...

    Stuart Mitchell "Survival Knife" Prototype (Pic Heavy)

    Thanks for the comments. Using the bolster of your knife is never ideal, but in a pinch, it is nice to know that you can. Norca, best to get info directly from Stuart about the expected price.

    Stuart Mitchell "Survival Knife" Prototype (Pic Heavy)

    Hi Rick. Stu will be making an MkII model based on the input he's received from a number of testers. MkII will have a slightly extended edge (the edge will start right at the ricasso area), a lashing tube through the bolster, satin finish, a slightly rounder area around the bottom bolster and a...

    Stuart Mitchell "Survival Knife" Prototype (Pic Heavy)

    I believe that some of you may have seen this knife on Stuart Mitchell's table at Knives UK a few weeks back. I found myself in the lucky position to try out this new Survival Knife prototype during a recent trip. Number 476 is made from 5mm RWL34, has a full flat grind and retains its thickness...

    Hand sanitizer as fire starter

    Does anybody here use the small 100ML bottles of commercially available hand sanitizers as a viable fire starter? And can some of them (with glycerine mixed in) be used to create a flame mixed in with potassium permanganate? Thanks!
