OOOHHHhhh that bowie, wow you brought that way back when you brought the 5" buck 110 lookalikes for your son.
Slacker lol then again I have done zip about my 110 buck fixed blade Im making. I have all the gear to finish it and then some
but you know the problem. My shed is so messy ATM but having hard rubbish day soon so out with a bit of rubbish.
What is it the 4 s or 3 s's. I want it empty to fit my trailer , Nah thats not gunna happen.
Hey I never read this thread but want to know without breaking the bank a good small knife for skinning foxes and a larger one for roo's and deer and stuff..
What are good examples???
The Gerber myth field kit is a good start George swears by them.
should be a link a few posts back.
You can come here and try any of mine I have a ship load of knives
big and small, the woodgrain one [Browning] is a good knife IMO
Look for better than 440 stainless too, will hold an edge better[longer]
Yup that's the Bowie I meant lolol, waaaay back then lolol.
BA, if you get a chance, go back through the thread as there a ton of options posted but as TD said, the Gerber Myth kit is a good combo so is the X-Tactical field dress kit from Anaconda, I have 1 of those and a spare skinner to go with it and they're pretty good for a kit around $60.00 so it doesn't break the bank.
Always the biggest questions when looking at knives is what you want it for and a price range that suits you, that way there is some avenue to start with.
If you say you have a budget of $100 max and only for foxes and roos, but as an off chance as a camp knife as well, we can certainly point you in the right direction

Shit George was just here and I forgot to ask... too much other crap to deal with.
And he still has my little pen knife he sharpened for me...lol.
And I forgot to give him my machete to sharpen.... blah!!!!
Well at least you have a starting point now.
Interested in what you go with,
a saw,, chest spreader and axe are other items that may be of interest
Have a small case full of field dressing gear\

@ OD this would go well with an Uncle Henry in the front in a double style sheath,
price isnt too bad either
Not bad at all, would have to have a fairly long belt loop to accommodate it and a normal knife as well otherwise it would catch. Could have it swivel via a d-ring for it move more freely
Got a new Jeep Rescue Knife today in the mail, not a bad bit of kit. Blade is super sharp, same with the strap cutter, glass breaker has a very sturdy spring action which is good and a built in LED torch, need to replace the batteries as it isn't as bright as it should be.

The seller who I got the latest Rough Rider knife from apology gift also was delivered. I fell over backwards when I opened it up to find it was a Boker Plus, one hell of a nice bit of hardware.

Good stuff surprised the grubs didnt take it because of the thumb screw.
Nice pick up on the Boker to. OOI is it Henry Boker as he made heaps of
engineering tools during WW2 I think, originally his name was Henri
but changed to Henry to boost sales, I have a few Henry Boker items.
Giving the Kurkri a go this arvo, I've finally worn out my Mundial steel lol.
Might get an oval 600 grit one but longer than 300mm if I can find one
The Boker came from QLD and the Jeep from NSW.
I need to do some research as to whether these can be imported as I have found, by accident, a supplier / manufacturer of these that I can get in bulk amounts.
Never underestimate the power of the tap, let it flow through you.
Cool keep me posted , never did the Kurkri as you know but feeling heaps better.lol
After a MM tanto yet to find it, but might get another Kurkri this week, one I can use at home.
Does Boker have 2 dots over the o ??
I'll put some Boker tools here tomorrow
On both of my Bokers they have the 2 dots above the "O"

You would have to have good providence eh!
Must be same Boker IMO
Great knives, too bad they're illegal here
What's illegal here?
I would love a Trakker knife, especially the U.S. Military variant that is both a liner lock and fixed blade all in one, can't justify paying between $350-400 on it though

Brought a couple of steels One was a 300mm ceramic rod with a handle the other was this. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wetzsthi-...item35c581a83e

Some nice sets in the links. No idea if that's like Gecko's pigsticker.
Haven't look to see if there are replacement saws on there own.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Big-Game-...item4ae8aad26f
Has everything you need
Not bad at all, pretty reasonable prices as well

Yeah just putting up some combos for BA he can save or discard as he wishes.
A high carbon Green River would come in handy IMO.
I have a full set of Mundial butchers knives and mainly use them at camp
,it's taken years but one is sharp as all get out one angle from the edge to
the shoulder, keeps an edge ok too
tempted by this one but what a craps sheath
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/321675411...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
For that price you can buy a decent kabar or kabar mini on the Ontario pilots survival knife V1 or V2

Blast from the past I have two of these that I used when
I was diving, good heavy knife ,it was great for prying off abalone
down Phillip Island way. Cant remember what I paid, still have them.
I plan to dive again this summer all going well.
Never been diving before, not my cup of tea.
If anyone has an Auto Bahn near them at all, could they keep an eye for these rescue knives and let me know please? Grubs stole mine from the troll, still trying to work out all the gear stolen.
Can't buy them online from them and their the only suppliers I could find, the distributors require a trading company account to be set up to purchase directly from them which I am not prepared to do.

Nice Elk Ridge trapper arrived, happy with it
long blade might leave this one in the console
I have a few trappers and stockmans which are good knives, I carry an Excalibur 3 blade stockman on me all the time and surprising on how often it gets used and not just by me, even get store staff ask if anyone has a knife because they can't find their box cutters lol
Never underestimate the power of the tap, let it flow through you.
I wouldnt carry one on me even though these trappers are handy,
Would you carry one in a sheath or just in your pocket??
This just arrive late this arvo , about 150mm high I love it
well made and heavy too
Mine is always in a sheath on my belt next to my leatherman

I keep a basic swiss army knife in my pocket at all times (except airports) and use it regularly. My cousin gave me a swiss card that lives in my wallet and is useful but prefer proper knife.

Never owned or used a Swiss card, I have a heap of the flat metal 11 in 1 cards that I have put in different grab bags and pouches including both mine and munchkins webbing.
I have a couple of different Swiss Tech items, some are really good and others are crap, the pocket led torch / lantern has the potential to be a good little piece but falls short on being reliable, constantly cuts out and turns off.

My victorinox kit as mentioned. I have not had any problem with quality and have put some pressure on the screwdriver of the pocket knife in the past and has held up. I use the corkscrew often to get undone knots that others have tied.

I saw the MEGA Factory segment on these Swiss army knifes, very interesting.
Here's a piece of useless information regarding the cork screw, The British
invented it by putting a handle on the "cork screw" but no one knows who invented
that sqiggly bit, some are priced in the $1000s
there is actually a Cork Screw museum in England somewhere,,,, go figure lol
Interesting threedogs, and it begs the question - what came first, the cork or the cork screw? I can just imagine some silly bastard banging a cork in a bottle and going "look i have found a great way to seal a bottle" and his mate next to him looking up from warm beer and going "well done...but how are you going to get it out?"
Sent from my LG-D295 using Tapatalk
Maybe just maybe they belted in a small piece of flat steel and twisted and accidently acheived the corkscrew "look'
The earliest glass bottle is around 1660 -1670 before that they used
jars and wooden casks. I love my antiques
The early glass bottles were black and onion shaped and had
a losenge on the side with your name and date on it, you had to
snap the top off the bottle to pour any wine or , whatever.
It is also where the term "Its got my name on it" comes from. lol
These bottles are always damaged around the top. If no damage is found
I'd be wary. This is a great example from 1730
