I have stumbled across a number of Cold Steel blade blanks reputedly remnant stock from the Camillus factory closing down. THey are claimed to be CarbonV which is what got my attention. There are SRKs, Kukris and Tantos. As far as I can find on Google these are genuine but I have a couple of questions that maybe someone can help with.

Is there an easy way to tell if they have been heat treated yet or not and is there a way to tell if they are actually Carbon V or the newer stainless version.

Would heat treating them again cause any problems if they have already been done (I would be sending out for heat treatment)

It seems like a great opportunity to get a Cold Steel blank for 10-20 quid if they are in fact Carbon V.

Thanks guys

The Boker Plus Subclaw gets my vote. I've carried it a lot and used it a lot at work. And I often keep it close to hand around the house.



The Subclaw proved itself to me as being a practical, versatile and thoroughly useful little knife.

Which other small pocket folders have been popular with the members here in 2009? ]]> Production Knives - General Discussion...

What would you buy?



I'm looking a good solid working knife. Good lockup and good filling handle but can't decide what. I want it brand new outta the box cos it's gonna be having a tough life :D. I'd near like to get my first Benchmade but can't decide on whether to get a Barrage or Grippie.

Any thoughts? ]]> Production Knives - General Discussion... pootsythesam http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92831 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:20:59 GMT An unexpected early Christmas for me! I sent three knives off for various renovations and doses of tlc. I got them all this morning. Feast your eyes!!

Top is a Klotzli Sailor which had got tatty and the good people of Switzerland sent it back to me brand spanking. I’d mangled the clip screws and really scuffed up the carbon fibre scales. Middle is a flat ground Delica 4 that Karel Koci (our Cosco) has put the most fantastic desert ironwood scales on for me. You know that search for the perfect Gent’s knife. It’s over :):)!!!. At the bottom is my old Shing penknife, which Shing just made a D2 sheepsfoot for. The old blade is below. One day I am going to ask him to make up a knife with both blades. What do you reckon??

Quick pics because I just wanted to show them off :D:D

More and better to follow

I am so happy!

"Axe Camp 1991

Axe head of black epoxy coated boron steel. Reinforced plastic handle. Leather sheath. Weight 0.5 kg."

http://www.moraofsweden.se/index.php?cid=120


I found it for sale here at £34.75, only £10 less than the GB small forest axe.

Anyone used one of these? Edit: apparently so, considering when I searched for these a BB thread was the first link to appear. :(

Still, I'm sure a few people missed the thread first time around. ]]> Production Knives - General Discussion... skoppers http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92808 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:03:47 GMT Howdy, I have recently updated the Tutorials section of MuleProjects... http://muleprojects.blogspot.com/ I have multiple tutorials that I link to, I hope they can be useful to you, so that you can begin to use your Mule!

I have lots of ideas but would appreciate your opinions on what you want in an EDC knife. Something primarily to be used, not looked at.

For example Style - traditional or tactical etc, blade size and shape, handle size and shape, type of steel, one hand opening/closing, thumbstud or flipper, pocket clip and/or lanyard hole etc etc.

Why are knives held together by these specialist screws, rather than something basic that can be undone with an every day screwdriver? I beleive Emerson used to use slotted screws allowing the user to adjust or dissasemble their knife with a coin or something similar (like a screwdriver ;) ). Looking at the merits of that against those of Torx I can think of no reason for the use of torx screws other than knife manufacturers having shares in "The torx screws and drivers company", which I'm sure isnt the case.

Is there an advantage to using torx?
