Crashdive has it right.I'm going to weld an extension on. Its gonna end up looking mora esque. its a very tiny / lightweight knife when you see it in person. but maybe i'll cut the brass off on the...

Don't look at me ! I'm Hideous!!

Actually, the tang will be long enough when i get a bit welde on. if it screws the blade i'm okay with that.

But I don't think this knife needs a butt on it....

I'll go look up peening :) And yeah, I recall the knife was 31.50 when I bought it around 1991 or something. ALCE it is.

Thanks folks. I'll post some results when I have some.

crashdive123 - I just watched your youtube video with the multicolored micarta handle. Great job. Have a question... since you skipped the whole sanding process! :P

Did you just sand down the...

Yeah, i don't mind using the existing handle at all, I'll just grind off the parts I don't want.

Re welding: my uneducated guess is that it will be a very quick "tack tack" sort of thing which...

Pardon the crappy pic quality.

This is a knife I bought when I was a kid with paperboy money. But now with "man shaped" hands, the handle was just too tiny. So I...

On this topic, do you mean store it bare and use the sheath for transport only? (It may seem obvious, but I always ask :))

If the liquid carries away the particles.. why would a person use a dry one?

Ain't that true. I could shave with it. :D

While we're all on the topic, can we talk sharpening? I have a stone that has been kicking around my toolbox for ages. I'm not sure if its a wet stone,...

Perfect, that's the info i needed. I pushed on the wd-40 front only cause i have lots of it ! :)

Now I'll go enjoy my axe some more... that just sounds dirty but awesome at the same time.

So I guess "machine oil" is "a good oil" ? :) And are you saying that wd-40 is good or bad?

For fathers day I got a Gransfors Bruks small forest axe. What an absolute treat to use.

The book that came with it said to keep it in good shape and prevent rusting to oil it once in a while.

Arg.. Build a canoe in the wilderness? In one of Ray Mears' shows, he meets up with a Native Canadian man north of Ottawa, and they take a couple of days to build a canoe. And the native man has been...

I don't like having a bunch of "copies" of everything. Sometimes I go mountain biking on trails, sometimes I want to go bike camping, other times its snowshoeing, then there is hiking for a day,...

These are nice http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/THREE-BY-FIVE-7p118.htm

Just discovered this company, seem to have some nice stuff.

At max I'd want 2 altoids tins. One for fishing stuff one for.. something else.

Hard shelled is something I hadn't thought of but what Justin Case posted is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks folks.

I'm never good coming up with good terms to google. I have a small cordua pencil case that holds all my "nerd gear" in my laptop bag. I want to find more about this size and slightly bigger, for...

@claypick - yeah we can actually drive onto the island with cars. There is a 100foot man made causeway. Its been in the family for about 175 to 200 years, and has snaked its way to my father in law...

@OhioGrizzLapp - much appreciated. Its hard to say what feeds the trees. I'd wager a large chunk of it is salt water, and some is fresh too as there are springs on the island in places and the center...

Oh... firewood is the top of the list :)

I'm laid up with the flu, a 6 week old baby boy and feet of snow. Suffice to say I'm watching a bit of TV :) I was watching the Ray Mears bushcraft episode where he's in Sweeden. He's making use out...

@kyratshooter - It does look a lot like that knife, but mine has no stamping on it at all. Regarding the Grohman, you mentioned re shaping the edge, did you mean a different grind or ?

@kyratshooter - That came to mind too :) Its got the nicest sheath out of the bunch too.

I appreciate your feedback everyone. I typed my question when looking at Mora knives. They seem very capable for the size of them. Also the comment of the user skill makes a huge amount of sense....
