Tom,
Is there any way we can have a topic listing for `Home made equipment etc` ?
Sometimes the easiest ideas are best............

He are a few pics of my expensive dive knife.

1 X Kitchen Devil
1 X Hose pipe
2 X Cable ties

Total cost £5

Dave

Well all I can say is that looks crap !

I mean, no brand name, not particularly shiny and the scabbard looks like something you fished out of a dumpster

5 quid you say ?.....................Mmmmm




Chris

Ok Done

Ive created a new forum topic for DIY Equipment and have also moved this to there

Chat soon

Tom

Chris,

Ah jealousy.....

There is a big shiney label on the side you can`t see. I have had this knife for 7+ years with very little rust. Try that with your £40+ dive knife !!

I am looking forward to your ideas ?????????? ha ha ha.

Tom,
I added to your caution thread. Thanks for reminding me.

Dave

I'll see your 5 quid 'knife' and raise you another 70 for the shark-killing-James Bond version- bird-pulling- machismo-bolstering lump of TITANIUM that is My Knife

It cuts like a really sharp cutty thing, never rusts, is ultra light but tough like a really tough thingy ( damn vocabulary letting me down at this point )

Oh, and you can clean your nails with it too in an affected, but disinterested manner, as you lean against a wall in the sunshine hoping that everyone will notice thinking you're a great chap altogether whilst everyone who does notice remarks to themselevs 'What a total Plonker'

Beat THAT

Chris

Chris,
I can`t beat that but did you say how much it cost ? My other knife looks like the attached pic.

I had thought about a Dyson type rebreather but couldn`t afford the Dyson bits.

I have also made a self inflating smb with a small buddy bottle attached.

Ok, that settles it, your knife is WAY better than mine

Who looks the bigger plonker though remains anyones guess !

Chris

Listen you two; between your adept skills and your egos I'm getting somewhat jealous. So either you start sharing both or else....!!

Excuse me James, but if I had adept skils I wouldn't need the ego.

The fact I have such a big ego is to provide adequate phychological insulation to counter the certain knowledge that I am a crap diver.

Well it works fo me !

Chris

Dammit Chris, there's no answer to that! Except the crap diver bit. Totally untrue!
