For a few extra dollars I purchased an 8 gun safe from Foxsafes in Ulladulla. Not sure on your location but personally I would not buy a safe from eBay.

I am ex Army and had no real problem with them. In saying that they had to be the correct size for your feet, sometimes Q stores did not have the exact size so people took the close enough is good enough approach which worked with the old GP's. When they didn't fit properly that is when your feet got shredded. I still have a pair and they go fine when I am out walking all day. Prefer my Danners though The waterproof 1 way valve is a crock.. can't stop anything when they fall out.

Have to agree, stone and steel are the only way to go. I find this the best way for me to control to pitch or angle of my blade and also ensures the blade stays sharper for longer.

If you search I thinl there has been posts on this topic before. You can view my type of safe at www.foxsafe.com.au - B8 safe.

Nice knife Drew. Can I ask where did you purchase it?

Here is a couple in my collection that I like. The 1st one is the only one I have used thus far. In the 2nd pic the 3rd knife down has an 8.5inch blade and is 14 inches in total length. The 3rd pic is a couple I picked up whilst in East Timor off the Nepalese Ghurkas.

Have to agree. After looking into building my own aligned to ACT specs I worked it out to be cheaper to buy one and know it meets criteria.

Apparently the tawny owl's eyes are 100 times more sensitive at night than a humans. (learnt that last weekend lol at a zoo) **sorry not trying to have something to say against everyone's post either, just sharing my useless bits of info**

Just a little more to this. When looking at things at night and trying to focus look to the left or right of the object. This is because the rods are on the outer edge of the iris and during the day you predominatly use the cones and look straight at things. The human eye has about 120 million rods and 6 million cones. The cones take 9 minutes to adjust to changes in light whilst the rods can take hourse depending on the variance in light. (just a little something I learned when I joined the Army)

Very tidy mate Good choice

I have the black handled one, haven't used it yet though. Had a lot of trouble getting it into OZ, was confiscated at customs. Had to submit paperwork to get it back0 Have a look at my thread "my collection"
