This in no way reflects on the status of the G-10 Bushcraft. We had numerous requests for Bushcraft Blanks so we accommodated those requests with a small batch. I'm not sure why it sounded like clearing out existing stock, but this should clear up that confusion. ;) thanks for the clarification! it...

i hope this doesn't mean that the g10 handled version is being discontinued? sounds like it's to clear out the existing stock? it's my favorite woods knife by far but haven't picked up a backup due to cost just to sit inside a drawer for a just in case i lost the first one...unless it will be discon...

this hike was mostly so i can do an axe chop off between the gransfors bruks small forest axe and hunter's axe to determine which i like better...and sell off the other. see this thread for more details on the hunter's axe: http://jungletraining.com/forums/showthread.php?29144-gransfors-bruks-hunter...

Also, if you're adding scales to your mule, you're going to have to send the mule to the maker. Not sure if you're a DIY person, but it may be easier just to order a sheet of kydex to make your own sheath. It won't be pretty, but will be functional. yup, diy is more cost effective in the long run. ...

yup, one of many mistakes i learned - get all the sanding done, rinse the kydex thoroughly and rivet it last. no biggie - i have a 2nd cts-xhp that's still new. i'll probably scratch that one next when i try my hand with leather sheaths or diy handles, haha.mattman wrote:You scratched your knife?!?

nice! that pro kydex press is nice but i found a way to avoid spending that kind of cash for one though - unless you'll be doing lots of sheaths. here's a kydex tutorial i wrote awhile back that might be useful to some: http://jungletraining.com/forums/showthread.php?21502-how-to-make-kydex-sheaths .
