Which knife?

[ForgeCorvus]

........ use the back as a striker for a firesteel (unless you buy one of they fancy new stainless ones).

Myth.
Firesteel/ferrocium rod doesn't care if its stainless or carbon steel..... You can make it throw sparks with brass, glass, flint or any other hard sharp edge.

Flint & Steel works better with a non-stainless steel (not experimented with a high carbon stainless yet so can't say that it won't work)

Sorry mate, you poked one of my buttons there


Mushroom: Can you post a link or picture of the sharpener please

[Darktide]

Hey mushroom. I know you've just bought an opinel but you may want to buy one of these whilst they are still in stock. Similar to the clipper model but with a thicker blade.

As you say, quick and easy.

I have long had a liking for knives, so I collect them yet when it comes to using them (probably because I don't do much bushcraft) I've yet to find one which gives me that warm cozy feeling like Harry Potter's wand I had one a bowie with an 8 inch blade which I loaned to a friend and never saw again it had a stacked leather handle, stainless steel blade with no serations
A good test for a knife to test it's ease of use I find is to do domestic things with it like chopping veg or preparing meat, no doubt if you are a bug in type like me for the most part you'll be thinking bugger this and grabing your favorite kitchen knife before you have an accident

I should add and also question, I have never used a knife (or any other weapon for that matter) in an offensive or defencive manner, I have no great desire to either, I would go so far as to say I could be a danger to myself if I were to try, yet I still have a desire to collect these things and use them in a very "Ray Mears" ish way

My latest project is to make my own handle for a knife, I've just ordered this awesome blade:

I've looked online and seen some brilliant examples of what can be done, I'm still not sure what materials I'm going to use but I can't wait to give it a go.
