Dynamo Hand Crank Led Flashlight

I saw this hand crank flashlight from a video of a friend and I thought its a good addition to my survival gear. It doesn't need a battery, although I think there's a battery inside that is recharged by a dynamo that operates by hand cranking.

Svord Peasant Knife

The Svord BW Baker Peasant Knife is a bare bones basic utility-field knife based on models used in Bohemia and Bavaria 300-400 years ago.


Blade Length approx 3 1/4". Open Length approx 8 1/4". Closed Length (including extended tang) approx 7".

Sharpening Kit

Most knives I bought are sharp out of the box and all I need to do is to strop them to make them razor sharp. Others, I have to sharpen on the stone and then strop them afterwards. Here is my simple sharpening kit.

I'm not an expert on sharpening but I am able to make my knives really sharp using this kit. As shown above, I have a sharpening stone which I bought from Chinatown for about $3. It has a fine and coarse surface.

I have a strop that I made out of an old and unused leather belt tied to a piece of wood by a rubber band. For removing nicks and chips on the blade and sharpening my axe, I use a small Nicholson flat file. The tape on the picture, I can't remember what it is for. Maybe, if I cut myself while sharpening or maybe to put on the blade to prevent the coating from being scratched.

For stropping compound, I use rubbing compound, the type used for removing scratches on paints of cars. That's my sharpening kit, it works for me pretty well.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
