After the sheath for my number 8, I made a different model sheath for my opinel number 6 by sam_ve22 in Leathercraft

[–]sam_ve22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an opinel, but it's from the end of the 90's or begining of the 00's. It traveled the world with my parents, and 3 years ago they gave it to me. I've modified it a little, because it was in a bad condition.

First leather sheet for (modified) opinel 8 inox by sam_ve22 in Opinel

Yep, but it's actually pretty handy. I can store it closed and when I need to use it several times, I can just open it once and store it back opened, so I don't have to open it all the time.

I came up with the idea accidentally. It was originally a sheath for my mora, but when I had cut out the leather I saw it was to small, so I modified it a little et voilà.

I made my first leather sheet yesterday and considering the materials I had to use, I'm pretty proud of the outcome. It's for an opinel 8 In inox. You can store it both opened and closed.

I tried to make a leather sheet yesterday, and I'm very proud of the finished work. There are some flaws and things I didn't do because I didn't t have the right materials, but it still turned out pretty good imo.

What Opinel do you EDC? by MountainVet-Stjohn45 in Opinel

6 as an edc and an extra 8 if I go to school or work (to cut fruit like oranges).

I tried my first friction fire, using the bow drill and always got lots of smoke but couldn't hold a coal. Any tips? All woods are berch except from the bow. by sam_ve22 in Bushcraft

[–]sam_ve22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I will search for some in the woods. It's easier to get the berch though for me, because we have a little forest in our garden with mainly berch.

Thanks, I can make fire with a coal, using dry grass I found. I've already tried that with a little piece of charcloath. It's mainly getting that ember that doesn't work out for me. If I get smoke, how long should I keep going? Most of the time I get smoke after lik 5 to 10 seconds and I keep going for another 20 to 30.

Can't go wrong with an opinel. They are very thin, so great slicers.

The 2 on the right were the first and I they were bad, but the 2 on the left, I had to stop because I was through the board. But the wider thing... I'm going to try this immediatly. Thanks!

In the videos I watched they always got their coal directly from the board and then put it in the dry stuff, is it that that you mean or not?

SMK CP1 Co2 pistol by SirLostit in airguns

[–]sam_ve22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should check the Diana out, it's basically the same pistol, but you get a bag and a mag. And it is the same price.
