Bushcraft Ginunting

The Gallantry knife by Survival University.

Blade Length: 16.25”

Blade Thickness: 0.1875”

Overall Length: 23.75″

Blade Material: 1075 High Carbon Steel

I was talking to Al at Survival Supplies Australia about ordering a condor Rude Boy machete and all 20 of them went in one day. Ill have to wait for the next shipment. While we were talking he mentioned the Gallantry knife. I had been looking for a Ginunting sword for several months and when I found out it had a micarta handle and a 16 inch blade I grabbed it. Only 6 in the country and Al had to order them directly from Survival University. The 16 inch blade suits my height better than the standard Filipino variants at 19 to 21 inches and I have a preference for micarta grips. I cant wait to try this out on some timber. Ive recently started back in martial arts. Aikido Jo staff however the knee doesn’t like stepping backward and I have to drag the Jo to support myself. Not quite ready to get back into Filipino martial arts but it is a goal to aim for.

Will A Squirrel Cause A Revolution

I removed all political posts from my website two weeks ago. I thought just go back to bushcraft posts then a squirrel happened and it reminded me of the magpies that were seized in Australia. Showing just how much freedom we really have. Very little. If we don’t fight for it now we will lose it forever. More and more people are sick and tired of Government over reach.

Remember the system is not broken and cannot be fixed, the system is working just as intended and must be destroyed.

Fire Kit Prototype

Ive put together a few items to place within an old tobacco tin or ziplock bag, for emergency fire lighting. I may even go as far as using an oilcloth pull string bag. Items include multiple ways of starting a fire and tinder sources. Ive used up an old light my fire ferro rod to reduce weight but may change this to a larger rod depending on where its stored. I also have bearing blocks made from micarta I like to use in other kits.

The ferro rod striker is homemade from a piece of lathe tool bit in tungsten/cobalt.
