Mora Companion Knife
An easily maintained carbon steel knife.
Mike says...
" I believe a fixed bladed knife should be carried always in the outdoors. The companion is a low budget, high performance knife that will do a million jobs well. Always keep the knife razor sharp and well maintained, and if you don’t know how to use it correctly and safely - learn. "

Norway trip. "

than the other way around. "

Hultafors Aby Forest Axe
Our forest axe is a beautiful hybrid with many types of use. Aby has a straighter edge and grinding, and a good finger notch below the head for increased precision. The long, thin ergonomic handle minimizes the weight, at the same time giving you great force when striking. This axe is perfect for shelter building, processing firewood, and carving as well as precision work.
Mike says….
" Well, i couldn’t agree more with the above paragraph. I took this axe into our wood, felled a tree, bucked it up, split some lengths for firewood and carved a spoon and spatula. I really like this thing, great work Hultafors, it’s been a long time coming."

| Cold Steel Norse Hawk Tomahawk
Capturing the Viking, spirit, the Norse Hawk's 4" blade features a highly curved cutting edge and terminates in two sharp points. These points increase the chance of a stick when the Norse Hawk is thrown.
Mike says...
" If you like throwing sharp objects into targets like me, the Cold Steel Norse Hawk is ideal. Comparatively cheap to purchase and easy to maintain, hours of fun can be had.
Note: this is designed for throwing either for pleasure or competition. Not advisable to be used as a cutting tool. Ensure the sheath is purchased also for safety. "

Cold Steel True Flight Thrower
There are a bewildering number of throwing knives on the market these days, and it seems that most of them are made out of cheap steel that bends or, in the worse case scenario, stainless steel that breaks. That's why we made the True Flight Thrower. The Cold Steel® True Flight Thrower beats the competition by a wide margin.
Mike says...
" I have had a number of throwing knives over the years and must admit I prefer throwing a knife to an axe. This knife is well balanced and on a 6 meter throw can stick in 50mm into my Beech throwing block. For competition throwing it is best to throw three knives and add the score together. Hours of fun. "

Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel
The Special Forces Shovel is modelled after the original Soviet Spetznaz shovel.The Spetznaz soldiers made up the most elite unit in the Soviet Army. The U.S. equivalent would be the Green Berets. The shovel head and socket are forgedfrom medium carbon steel, then heat treated for maximum strength. The edges come sharpened to a utility/axe edge that can easily be improved to razor sharpness.
Mike says...
" In alarge fixed camp or a vehicle the SF Shovel is a real bonus. Ideal for digging latrines, chopping roots, moving hot rocks about etc and if you manage to break the handle, which is unlikely, you can carve another one, Ash is the preferred wood for this. It is advisable to purchase the sheath as the edge is sharp. "

Boreal 21 Saw with Sidney All Purpose Blade
The BOREAL21™ is a revolutionary 21 inch folding bow saw that effortlessly unfolds in seconds for easy, high performance cuts.
Mike says...
" This saw took some finding and setting up with the guys in Canada, anyhow now it’s done and well worth the effort. As always this type of kit needs a good test and no better place than a Spruce plantation. After many hours felling and crosscutting dead Spruce the saw is still standing up well with all the components in good order.
I'd also recommend you get the sheath which stows spare blades and C clips. This comes in handy when you have to haul wood back to camp as you can sling it over your back keeping your hands free. "

Bahco Laplander Saw
A classic bushcraft folding saw used by most instructors around the country.

Kershaw Taskmaster Saw
If you’ve never owned a folding handsaw before, you should. If you have, you already know how handy these things are and the Taskmaster Saw is an excellent choice. Of course, it’s great for camping or hunting trips - compact and tough enough to take on even sizable branches, but it’s also perfect for backyard tasks.
Mike says...
" I noticed this in a new Kershaw catalogue back in June 2016. I got my hands on one and headed to the woods to see what it was made of. The whole construction and dimensions are the same as the Bahco Laplander but I found the rubber overlayed handle a real bonus when it was raining.
The blade is super sharp and is great for pruning, it also locks closed and open which is a mega bonus when in use and in storage.
In essence the Kershaw Taskmaster is a Bahco Laplander on steroids. "

Leatherman Wave
A precision multi tool that anyone involved in the outdoors should carry.
Mike says...
" The Wave is a great tool to have in your kit. The Wave has the added advantage of having an engineers file and diamond steel, so is great for sorting out an axe that has got a nick in the cutting edge. I use the needle nose pliers as a disgorger when fishing, along with a myriad of other uses. Great piece of kit. "

Leatherman Juice CS4
The Leatherman Juice Cs4 is our second largest Juice model, and just like its bigger brother, it's the perfect size for a purse, pocket, glove or tackle-box. Smaller hands will appreciate all the same power and features as our full-size model, with handles sculpted just for them.
Mike says...
" I have been a massive fan of Leatherman for years, with the Wave being in my rig for the same amount of time. I needed a multitool that was smaller and lighter for carrying in my trekking bag - so a little research brought me to the Juice CS4. As always, never disappointed with a Leatherman. Super-duppa. "

Work Sharp Standard Edition
The Original Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener is the first knife sharpener designed to sharpen every knife you own.
Mike says...
" I purchased one of these around 18 months ago to give it a good try out. When we carry out our courses we use the Mora knives and Hultafors axes that the students borrow for the duration of the course. The Work Sharp reduces my workshop time from six hours to one when I have to maintain all the tools after the course. It works out all the sharpening angles for knives and with the flexibility of the belt keeps the profile of the axes in shape. Using the 6000 grit belt to finish and polish the edge then with a good fast strop all the tools are super sharp and ready for the next course. "

it will need a clean, so either wash it with the pots or use an eraser to clean
the surfaces. Oh, and don't drop it on a hard surface. Great piece of kit. "

Lansky Diamond Deluxe Sharpening System
4-Stone Deluxe Diamond System / Precision Knife Sharpening Kit - Diamond Hones.
Mike says...
" For many years I have been looking for an easier way to put a good edge on my training knives that our students use. I have in the past spent hours on bench stones putting back a razor sharp edge, only to have my work destroyed on the next course.
The Lansky system has cut down my workshop time by 3/4, sorts out the angle of hone with its rod system and I can listen to the cricket while not thinking about what I am doing. Thank you Lansky. "

Does everything the Spike did, but with an added feature of a flat side. This pocket sharpener will tackle the most stubborn nicks out of cutting edges, on axes, draw knives, adzes, crook knives and tonnes more. Well done Buck, Hooray. "
