I've heard that that little swivel lock is easy to hack though, just make a cut into the metal ring lock to allow the blade to pass. Or maybe I was told wrong.

Looks good, thanks bud! I've bookmarked them but I'm reluctant to pay the postage, think I'll wait till I need a few more bits and bobs and aim for the £50 free postage. :D
I'm planning on placing an order at Endy's.... Anyone want to piggyback on it?

I'll post out at cost (Tanstaafl: Could you tell me how thick one is ? )

PM me if you're interested

Moderators please lock this thread because I'm spending too much on EDC stuff. Failing that, how do I block Dangerman, he's a danger to my bank balance!

Just been rereading this thread and realized how lax I had become , just relying on my EDC, so just spent an hour restocking my GHB..... :D


and sorting some more bits n pieces.... :D

The bar mars shaped thingy above the watches is a cheap n cheerful hand cranked torch and the knives from L to R are....


Subcom 42 (copy £2 :shock: , just wanted to see what it was like compared to my genuine one , now sold) not to bad ,,,,

Sanrenmu slipjoint (very flicky)

Boker rescue knife

Sanrenmu 7010 classic SRM

SAK

SAK

Edgie

Belgium Army Knife

Another Sanrenmu , made on the same line as a £35 Boker , exactly the same knife (mates got the Boker) for a fifth the price

Sanrenmu 7063 lovely knife


As you have noticed have got a few Sanrenmus (SRMs), quality is ace , built at the same factory as a lot of more pricey knives , but minus the badge..

https://www.fasttech.com/category/1901/ ... YW5yZW5tdQ

G-Shock and 3 timex expeditions




And if anyone is after a small legal slipjoint , they could not go wrong with this for a fiver delivered , have sold quite a few over on British Blades where the SRMs are very well regarded...

Just tried to buy it but it adds on $23.90 to the order for postage, meaning total price is $32.09.

Looks a nice little blade though. I think I've lost my SAK Spartan so that would have been a nice little replacement.

I think it's because it's a knife.

I got mine from the top link (sof) it's in very good condition but is going to take some effort to sharpen took a bit of degreasing :lol:
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
