    Head torch setup for RUNNING!

    Outdoorsman5, thank you for your very helpful advice. I'm looking to run a base of 45 miles per week year-round and quite a few of my runs will be in the dark. I have ordered a Zebralight H51W and have just found a NiteIze headband in my cupboard that I must have had for about 15 years and have...

    Favorite Mini-Griptilian/Griptilian Blade Shape?

    I have a preference for the high grind, sharky profile and M2HS/S30V steel of the Doug Grips.

    Benchmade griptilian thread!!!

    The arrow clip came from another Benchmade..I'm not sure which model....and I swapped it onto the RSK. I don't really like the clips that Benchmade do that have the glossy black coating. I have removed it from some my clips by using an "electric wire brushing machine thingy :o" that we have at...

    Omega Watches

    That's bad news - I love the sword hands of the 225450. I think the hands of the PO are horrible!

    H-1 steel knife blade, which ones have it?

    They used to use it on the 100SH2O knife and 6H2O Rescue Hook, but changed over to X15TN steel. H1 is the model, not the blade steel (which is laminated VG10)

    Camping LED advice

    I always take a headlight with me (a Petzl Tikka Plus) and back it up with a hand held light with a good run time. I usually take an AA MiniMag with an Opalec Newbeam LED conversion, or a Fenix L2T. To back up my back up I have an Arc AAA on a neck lanyard.

    Folding knife recommendation

    I'd recommend a Benchmade. If you have your heart set on a thumb hole there is new version of the Griptilian coming out soon called the 550HG that has a round hole opener, Axis lock and 154cm blade steel. http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=550HG

    Pocket knife specialists needed

    I recommend the Benchmade 525 Mini Presidio. It's a superb knife: If you prefer something a bit bigger try the 520 Presidio. It's a beast!
