Nothing dodgy in it, some hammocks and 2 x hunting knives, some torches and 2 x fishing / trapping yoyo's

4mm x 50mm for a belt would be ok wouldn't it?
Also have 4 of these primus burners and a few brass metters fruit sprayers
as well as my fire nozzles
How much was it at the market OD???
@ George that's a right handed Sushimi knife by the look of itQuote:

First load of goodies just got delivered.
Both sets of throwing knives, bery nice indeed.
The interchangeable field kit isn't bad at all, sheath is a bit tight with the saw blade though. Wouldn't want to cut down trees with the axe head but small branches should be ok.
First of two kukhri's came in, nice blade and weight, crap sheath as it is very loose fit and paper thin, will knock up a new sheath for it.
Should hopefully have some more today from USPS touchwood

lucky OD nothing arrived again plus I stuffed up big time
With ebay telling me to change my pass word some how I created a new account
and cant find my old one, have to wait till no2 son gets home lol
Its around 30" long! You'd need a huge chopping board and a massive fish to cut down to sashimi size piecesQuote:

see them all the time at on Iron Chef, They are long and usually surgical sharp so you don't saw when you cut
which you shouldn't anyway. Watch some U tube some guys are masters with these knives
A proper rh sashimi could be $2500 plus

This is my sashimi cast iron knife
@ OD my Icom Jr fits this Molle tool pack perfect and a SureFire torch fits the other section
Good stuff, bugger about the fleabay account

@ OD where does that Molle pouch go , feels like it would work better around the waist,
or maybe from the shoulder down but can't see how to clip it on.
Normally on the shoulder strap on vest / webbing or pack

cool thanks ,number two son sorted Ebay account out, I thought
I re set my pass word as Ebay instructed ,
but instead I created a new account Doh
Got my sticking knife today, happy with the size but sure about the cerated teeth on the back and i think i'll give the cutting edge a touch up i think

That's only to say its not a double edged knife IMOQuote:

Looks like those boot knives
Would have sworn black and blue that knife was a sashimi number,
but they come in sizes up to 26" long go figure

I likey the pig sticker, almost like a modified sykes fairburn.
Cerrations / Teeth or sawback inclusions can make or break a good knife. Some suit it if the teeth are done properly and can ruin it if poorly designed or made.
Working on a custom journal / diary cover at the moment.

Embossed gold initials on that cover would look awesome, what you can do with leather is endless.
maps for the Troll with NP.com on the coverHa Ha Ha
Can make a map book that can hold the folded HEMA maps, just need AB to organise a die to get cast with the logo and can stamp the front of them.
Will send him a om about it
Never used gold leaf, may have to get some to try

You're lucky day was going to get some of this for an old picture frame I have.
Only more ACU gear arrived for my vest, its starting to grown on me now ACU I mean lol
but through Airsoft and a $25 Molle vest its a cheap set up IMO
Which vest did you get?
Just bought some of the gold leaf in the link
Sent from my iPhone using Motorculture mobile app
Just an ACU vest completely covered in 25mm straps,2nd hand on Ebay
Here's the back with my new bundy and coke dispenser
front is same but you would know that DOH
Nice, looking at similar vests but in black

Certainly no wind can get through so might be great for fishing in lol
I'll leave it as it is for the time being. I went over the cutting edge with the lansky before and its razor sharp now, i wonder how long it'll keep its edge??Quote:

Will take some pics tomorrow but 2 more came in today, not overly impressed with 1 of them, the other not too bad but both have crap sheathes even the blow moulded plastic 'tac' jobbie.
The yo yo fishing reels came in, interesting lil units.
Will pull out 1 of the hammocks tomorrow and see what it is like.
Now been asked by a former work mate to make up a new ID and badge wallet for him, need to dig my old 1 out and make a template from it.
Sent from my iPad using Motorculture mobile app
Those Cold steel guys are nuts but true Cold Steel comes at a price like San Mai or Seki City steel,
Pic is of a Seki City blank I made with sheep horn scales, the bottom blank is Seki city over 1000 layers
@ OD is that a Freddy flasher
Freddy flasher? Never heard of it.
Similar to my old ID wallet

Spoke to AB, he is keen for the map books and we will look at organising something after the Simmo trip

mates in the police force call their badge Freddy thus a freddy flasher
Great idea to hold all the DPP maps and notes plus any paper maps guys may take.
working on a gizmo ATM to give to MR to trial ,just hoping I can get a proto type by then
Scored a Wraith's Dagger from Lord of the Rings lastnight for $25 including postage
Still waiting on some more to come through including the black knife like Alitis's in a previous post
Sent from my iPhone using Motorculture mobile app
Look forward to seeing it, I've slowed down a tad as I need to finish that prototype asap,
and its a challenge ATM, but very few working parts, just a matter of getting angles right.
I put some fine oil on a cloth and wiped all my blades, cause as you know the first thing
someone does is touch the blade, GGRRrrr.
Really need to think how to display them, tempted to get this stick

I have three here, I used to take one camping to cut carp in half, then I saw how
much it was worth so its tucked away now. Reasonably sharp and would do heaps of damage
in the right hands, That's why I brought a Jade stone to polish some damage on the blade.
2 I have are folded steel similar to Damascus and sharp the third is a steel blade WW2 again sharp
not as sharp as my knives though
Have a look at this, over 1500 chops and its still good lol http://youtu.be/u3nAuowwqhIQuote:
