The one that fits your mouth?:innocent:
Ok 2D2K THERE'S YOUR SET UP YOU OWE ME ONE!!!
Ken you left the barn door open on that one, sorry:blushing:
Skully, you didn't anger anybody. Having experience with a tool and passing along a review of that tool is great, and everybody appreciates the sharing of that experience. Where the rub sometimes comes in is when people are quoting words from another source and leading viewers to think that they are their words. I'm not doubting your experience, but your words might lend a little more credibility to your position if they were yours and not quoted from a book or website. I would love to hear about your experiences with this tool. What you personally liked about it, any drawbacks, etc. Your experience and reviews of performance probably were not identical to John Wiseman. We now know his views, what about yours?
Nice, 2dumb would have just walked by and not even noticed.Quote:

Crash covered the points. It's easy to claim to be a survival expert. Anyone can do it. Even me. But when you post someone else's write up verbatim it leads the reader to believe you just might be a 14 year old trying to look cool....or rad....or whatever it is these days. Whether you are a survival expert or not isn't for me to question. Frankly, I could care less, but your credibility is tainted when you start posting that way.

1. What outfit did you serve with in SAS? I'd like to know the time frame as well. Only a slug or a little kid would profess to be ex military when he wasn't. Totally bad form!
2.Were you high at the time you cut your finger off. 'Cause the pain usually prevents me from cutting all the way through the bone. Part way, maybe. But never all the way.
3. You must have waited an awfully long time to get to the hospital for your finger to die like that. You know, they can transplant your big toe onto your finger, now.
4. Can you say poser?

So now we know you're a kid. Stop trying to impress. It really isn't necessary. Just read through the posts and try to learn something. Then, maybe, with a lot of experience, you'll become a survival expert.Quote:
Look i was trained by british special forces (sas) they follow this book in alot of situations i was handed this book when i completed my advanced training
lol, good stuffQuote:

Hey skully this is something I wrote in another thread just take a look at it and see if it can help you out any. Seems like folks are getting a little hot about it. and in reality it ain't worth it you can confess if it applies to you and we can all go from there,OK?Quote:

Attention troops, private Skully's very well-written, "expert, knife thread has been moved to it's proper place; over to the Survival knife "sticky"! Why, you ask? Simple, because we don't have a "Numpty" sticky...or one for horse-poop! (no smilies for BS.) :knight: :sneaky2: :cool2:
Man...61 pages for a knife question. It took me a while to get through them all. Ok, so I actually only read about 1/4. :offtopic::airhorn::offtopic:
:taz::tank::banana::gunsmilie::rambo::surrender: :saberbattle::drunk:
:censored::6::hammer::fishface::chair::band:
Alright, I am done. I really don't have anything to add. Just saying it took me awhile to read it all.
I got here, a little late......well....how about this?:innocent:Quote:

It's a solid beast. Becker makes good stuff. Not really my cup of tea, but if it's the kind of tool you want........
Seems a bit pricey, check out the same blade here: http://www.tomarskabars.com/BK-3_INFO.html :cool2:Quote:

the bk-3 is a bit less and about identical. good looking out and thanks for the help guys. and this may be objective but what is the best steel/material that a blade should be constructed of. ive seen earlier posts saying carbon steel?
Carbon Steel
A lot of it will depend on the environment that I'm in. While I'm out in the woods, I like a carbon steel blade as CS said. Fairly easy to sharpen, can use it with your ferrocium (fire steel) or natural flint to make a spark. An extremely wet environment - Stainless has some advantages - although with proper care, the carbon steel is managable.Quote:

There is a knifemaker iI know about and he makes knives out of A2 toolsteel and they are tough knives from what I have heard. They are called Horton Knives and the motto is "built for bad times. They look tough too. A2 is a good steel and is supposed to be a little more rust resistant than d2. D2 is some good tough stuff though.
i saw his knives on knifeforums. they look really tough. the only ones i saw were a wharncliff design. does he have a website or anything pancho?Quote:

Actually, starting off here with an Introduction would be more appropriate.Quote:

I use the Case knife with sheath on the bottom all the time hunting and in the woods, it's the 3rd sheath,for almost 50 yrs and carry the jack knife just below the green handled one all the time plus use it on rabbits and squirrels

This is my personal opinion only. Any combination tool is a little of this, little of that and a whole lot of nothing. I have never seen a combination tool that will do the work of separate tools. Want a knife? Get a good one. Need to chop get a hatchet. In other words the right tool for the job, don't like combinations.
When out in the woods, which I am often as a prospector I always carry 2 knives.
One large for tasks where the smaller ones are to slow or out of some other reason not suitable.
And one smaller for finer tasks where the larger is to cumbersome to use.
A pocket knife like the swiss army knife is good as a smaller addition.
As my large knife I use a kukri, excellent cutting/chopping power.
See below.

I must admit having a weakness for larger knives, not for show off but I just like 'em.
Otherwise I like Linton knives to.
Heres another shot of the Kurki:

Hey Eu - how about slicing your way on over to the Introduction and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14
I was working on it before but a "time out" occurred. Sheesh.:smash:Quote:
