BUSH KNIFE REVIEW | FITZROY KNIVES | REAL-LIFE REVIEW AND FIELD TEST

[@e-remes7029]

A quality knife there Ash. I couldn't possibly justify the outlay for one. I have a Mora Knife for which I made a leather sheath with ferro rod sleeve (as I have for both my sons). I have also made a foraging pouch (which I use as more of a "dump" pouch). I have also made various other leather and canvas outdoor/ EDC pieces. ie. Ditty bags, sit mats, thermal mug/ beer bottle handles, phone envelopes... Really enjoying the outdoor subset. *salutes

I have several Bush knives from suiss to vintage. Useful and sturdy. But a sharpening stone is a must to have.

Very nice knife Ash. I have quite a few knives for camping hiking and hunting. Each having its own specific task. My hunting knives are smaller and more manageable for gutting and skinning. But I have a few like yours for general camp use. I also have quite few folding knives. Case, Buck and one of my favorites,the Opinel. Cheers Ron

Hi Ash it would be great if you could do a leather shoe treatment video while you're in a woodlan cus it's been a while you haven't done a shoe care video cheers 🙏👍🤗

I'm not really into it now but I used to be a complete 'hike nut', from 13 to about 36 (I don't know what happened, the love for it just faded) and one of my nuttiest purchase was a Alan Wood Bushlore knife, I think Ray Mears sells versions of it. A fantastic knife, but I was afraid to damage it, it was super expensive so I got a much cheaper Mora to do the battening & feather sticking.

Surprising the knife sheath doesn’t have an extra smaller sheath for the ferro rod that the company also produces. Hopefully there is a lanyard so one can wear it around one’s neck.

It looks like a very nice knife. I personally prefer one with a guard to avoid running my hand onto the blade accidently I have seen any number of such incidents over the years. I find my most commonly used day to day knife is a Victorinox small pocket knife which has a scissor, letter opener blade, flat head screw driver and tweezer. In the field a Ontario K-bar work well for me. You mentioned the knife under discussion would not be suitable for everyday carry in your area. I know the U.K. has strict laws different from my local. Could you please clarify what would be a legal pocket knife in the U.K.? Thank you. I have always enjoyed your channel.

Our knife (knoife) laws in Australia are very similar, you can typically carry a folding style 'pen knife' or Swiss army style. It comes down to max blade length (~75mm) blade can't be serrated or a 'flick knife' (assisted opening are banned). 'Balisong' (Butterfly style) knifes are also banned.

In the UK, the blade has to be under 3 inches and cannot be a locking type knife or switch blade. A normal pen knife is fine to carry in your pocket.

[@guitarplayer5611]

Where these knives ever actually made by human hands in Bristol England?

[@TheChapsGuide]

No, designed in Bristol and manufactured in Maniago, Italy.

[@maninthestreet01]

Surely that knife is not legal to carry in the UK without good reason?

[@TheChapsGuide]

Knives over 3in cannot be carried in a public place.
