    My knife builds

    Another variation on a knife I have made a few times now. I am going to have to come up with a name because I think I will be making a few more soon. Second time working with VG10 Damascus steel. The layers are slightly off centre which is a bit of a pain. Luckily it has enough core steel to...

    Knife sharpener

    Yes, I carry one in my kill kit. Its the best I have found for field sharpening. I have loaned it to a few people and at least one went out and bought their own after using mine.

    Left hand Tikka Stock Options

    I had a gunsmith do it. You COULD do it yourself with just a file, but I wanted it to look as good as possible, so had it done by someone who can drive a mill.

    My knife builds

    So this is another version of the knife I made last year. I wanted to see what I could do with the profile. I bought a set of Chinesium handle scale material that is supposed to glow in the dark, so thought it might make a a handy knife for breaking down animals if you are taking a shot on...

    Are horandy interbonds any good.

    Years ago getting ready for a hunt in Namibia I tried 180gn interbonds and accubonds in a 300 magnum. I wasnt happy with the accuracy of the interbonds, so went with the accubonds. The accubonds performed great on the hunt, and have been one of my favourite bullets since then.

    My knife builds

    At the end of 2022, I gave my step mother the first chefs knife I ever made for Christmas. Since then she has told me she loves the knife, and when I went over for the 2023 family Christmas dinner she asked me to make her a smaller knife as a companion knife to go with the big chefs knife. This...

    Had another go at a woodlore bushcrafter knife. The steel is NitroV with a saber grind. The tang is tapered down to under 1mm which is the thinnest I have ever gone. Handle is micarta with a .5mm orange and .5mm white G10 liner with Loveless bolts.

    Reforming .308 brass to .338 FED

    You probably wont have a big problem with once fired brass, but you could. A couple of times I have had problems trying to chamber old brass in a new barrel, even after resizing it in a FL die. I would definitely start with new brass for what you are describing. Necking up from 30 cal to 338 is...

    My knife builds

    I just finished the handle and put and edge on this yesterday, though really did most of the work last year. I guess you call it a "survival knife". I made it as an attempt at a "one tool knife" for the bush. The blade is 5.5mm 8Cr14MoV which is a cheap Chinese stainless steel that I used for...

    No, I remain devastated that I have still not earned the right to steal a BOAL.

    If you dont know the story of Harry Wolhuter and his "lion killer" knife, its definitely worth a read: https://southafrica.co.za/legend-of-harry-wolhuter.html The knife itself was made by Thomas Williams Butchers Cutler in London and was from a pattern commonly used for slaughtering sheep in...

    No, I think if Form was behind it we would have a functional hunting energy drink thats functional.

    Rogan/Hanes launch “elk blood” energy drink….

    If Form released "Elk Blood", all you guys would be posting multiple times a day arguing about what color the can should be and when the preorders go live.
