    somone on here a few years ago was layering tartan/plaid wool with synthetic resin and turning the resultant material into knife handles -Ilike the idea -in fact ii contacted em and still have a piece of swannired check in the dshed waiting for me to get off me arse.
    Ive got knives of all descriptions but my hunting ones -a big robust handle you can get your paw round .my bird knives -smaller bowie type point for unzippeing parrie /goose swan breasts and working around the bone structure .In a lot of ways im a kea -if I likes it Ill grab it!
    Have a trusty military style golok machete arriving this week-Old TF cadre staff who served in Vietnam etc carried em reckoned good shit for brush clearing.Ive had other machetes but none felt right or coped with my efforts in the scrub!!
    My prize knife is a genuine US camillus pilots survival knife(1st design) from early vietnam era .that travelled with me right through my TF career -now had it for over 40yrs and it is a sharp very scary wee bit of kit!Its also built like a brick shit house!
    viper and Moa Hunter like this.
