This is my newest knife, a SAK Huntsman Warhawk edition.Chris, DLT Trading has 2 versions of the Flying Tiger SAK's, the OD Green Warhawk and a...

    A month using a toy knife

    I almost gave up half way through it, I carved that spoon out of some rock hard maple like a idiot lol.Luckily I found some wood that was soft like balsa, the frog gig only took like 20 minutes to carve with proper wood. I enjoyed it, someone gave me a complete Beavercraft wood carving tool set...

    Putting the old lanyard to rest

    I also like them, Marlboro sent me a free paracord key lanyard a few years ago and I've been using it ever since.Since then I learned to tie the snake knot, I've been using the same style lanyards for all my fixed blades and machetes.Once you get used to tieing them yourself you can add any...
