Show Us Your Blades.

[Keith]

Can you show us the blades that you would carry whilst trekking, camping, trapping or hunting (knives & axe).
Keith.

Sure can Keith. A will take a few pictures when I finish work mate

There you go Keith, my 4, especially for you. Enzo Nordic, Enzo Trapper, Marttiini Skinner and Mora Robust. As you can see I only use the Mora and the others lay dormant. I should probably sell them but they're still here at the moment

nice knives, I especially like the 1st and the last.

Funny thing is I've never used the first or second ones. I ought to sell them before the knife law changes come into force in April. I'm told the Mora is a "trainer" knife, but I really like it as your fingers can't drift onto the blade. I got a cheap (£9.95) sheath from Casstrom to replace the plastic sheath that it came from and that makes it much better to carry when out working with it

Will post a few pics after the gym

I've got a fair few knives - not becuase I need them now just that it was an interesting journey to find out what does actually work as opposed to what one thinks/hopes will work.

You can't go wrong with a Mora - excellent knife.

Yes, they are, but very under-rated. I like that they cost about a tenner, lose or break them it's no big deal. I've yet to find a job they can't cope with.

I've got quite a collection of knives, cant stop buying them but that a prepper thing I think.

 

[Ark79]

Post some pictures lone. Would be interesting to see

Ah, you see that's where we differ m8. I am looking to cut down to two. Break one I have another sort of thing

 

[lonewolf]

sort of: 3 is 2, 2 is 1, and 1 is none.

 

[Ark79]

Never understood that comment. Could you explain it please

An oft quoted belief, and I take your point m8

I believe it was originally a military term, it essentially means one should have spares, if one loses the one we have then we are without it, having spares means we always have a backup, I suppose eventually when everything runs out we'll have to have learned to make our own, whatever it is, or go without.

 

[Ark79]

Just never understood it. But thanks. It makes sense now

A few of mine

The two knifes in the picture before the axe are the ones I use the most. I know the axe really isn’t a knife I’m only showing it ..as of recently I have only took this with me to see if it would replace a knife....with a bit more practice it would.... not that I will replace my knife with it...it was only a fact finding mission and to force the skills of using an axe.

Thank you.Good images. I think I like the look of the top one best.

Thanks Keith

The top one is an original SAS dagger it’s been in my family for years

I am glad you showed the axe, I wanted to know how many people carried an axe. I like the knives too, I can see why you use the ones you do. Good images Mark, thank you.
