The Kiwi, do you know what material those gaiters are made from? Phil, i try to avoid em, but incase the unlikely event one decides to taste my leg, id like to just have a bit of assurance ill be ok. see how it goes. thanks fellas

Fellas, would just like your opinion on a certain pair of gaitors. i know 1000 denier material can stop snake bites, as an american snake guards site sells 1000 denier and guarantees protection. but they are expensive and want something cheaps. i found a pair made by an australian company, though they have 1000 denier material around the boot section but not all the way up, from boot onwards its got 500 denier....is this still enough for protection? anyone know where i can get proper protective gear from? Thanks for the help...attached is link to the site for the gaitors im talking about. http://www.seatosummit.com.au/showdetail.php?Code=AGG

i took my hunting knife that i bought from ebay to king of knives in sydney, for $14 dollars they sharpened it, and it was razor sharp, was skinning the goat like hot knife through butter

Ed... thank you very much for your help... i will start practising on an old rambo knife i have and see if i can sharpen it well.

thanks all for the offer on sharpening my knife....but id prefer to save everyone the trouble. might just take it down to the Chef King at the Sydney CBD, they are charging $20 for it to be sharpened. i went to one butcher today and asked if they can sharpen knifes. they said a guy comes in once a month in random and sharpens it for them, they said if i like i can leave it with them, when he comes in it will get done, but i dont want to take the risk of them loosing it or whatnot. i think ill pay $20 to getit sharp for my first official huntign trip in april, but from then on ill invest in a lansky kit... How difficult is it to use the lanksy kit, as i have no experiance in sharpening knifes im only 20 i have a $2 aluminium oxide shaprneing stone, doesnt work well

Hello folks, i bought a hunting knife off ebay for 20 buks. 440 Stainless Steel. The knife is not as sharp as i would like it. in fact it is no where near sharp enough to cut through skin, nor paper. would anyone know a place in sydney that i could take my knife to get Sharpened like a razor? if so how much would it usually cost? Thank you for your help
