Sorry about that Jon, pop the sparker in the post to us and I will send out a replacement. The one I just tested lit the tinder tab second try. I use my thumb for the striker just like you would with a lighter.

Sorry about the technical error, I believe we contacted you when we got the double order and refunded the second payment when you confirmed you only wanted one.

We have had a few glitches with the ordering system lately but it appears to have settled down.

Karesuando Boar Bushcraft Knife in Carbon Fantastic Value - Without Firesteel

  • Customer also reviewed:
  • Trangia Kettle For Series 27
Service
Product

Service rating : person in the shop, took label of a stainless steel bladed knife, and sold it as carbon steel, The guy seens abit of a joker, at custermers expense,
Product rating : Its not carbon steel but stainless,
ITS POSSIBLE TO GET A VERY GOOD EDGE ON IT, BUT IT DOESENT HOLD THE EDGE, THE KNIFE GRIND IS VERY VERY HIGE, GIVEN TOO FINE A ANGLE, WHICH MAKES IT SHARPE. BUT BLUNT VERY QUICK, shame becase the knife feels good, in the hand. The label with details was removed from the box???

Read more
The knife you received is what we received as a carbon blade. If it was wrongly packaged I will be glad to get it exchanged with Karesuando. As I explained when you ordered we only had carbon Boar Knives in stock, you did originally request stainless.
Karesuando knives aren't packaged with any more information than you received, except for stock that we have received since then carrying a generic guarantee card. All they come with is a sticker on the base of the box with the knife code and either K for Carbon or SS for Stainless Steel. Please check the bottom of the box, and let me know the code and the hand written letter.

The characteristics you describe are those of a carbon blade, stainless is hard to sharpen but takes longer to blunt.

Make sure to strop your blade after sharpening and each use to maintain the edge between sharpening.

Bushcraft Knife - Rosewood Handle - A Wright & Son - Made in Sheffield, England

Service
Product

Service rating : The actual service was very quick and efficient
Product rating : The knife itself is very good, but the leather sheath is of very poor quality and not at all what I expected for a knife of this price. The only reason that I haven't returned it for a refund is because the knife is so good, but I will have to have a decent sheath made. The oak handle of the flint and steel fell off whilst I was taking it out of the package!!! Not impressed at all that I had to get out the Araldite to fix it...

Read more
Thanks for the Feedback, we hadn't heard from you before this, so have been unable to do anything about this. Please can you email us a photo of the sheath. If it is faulty then we will send you out a replacement straight away.
As for the firesteel, there were a batch of faulty ones a while ago, we thought they had all been sent back to the distributor, sorry we missed one but I am glad you managed to fix it.

Lowe Alpine Mountain Cap in Black

Service
Product

Service rating : The ProAdventure web site really ought to (a) reflect the products actually on sale and (b) the sizes in those products actually available. I wanted the Gortex lined version of the Lowe Alpine Mountain Cap in XL. The Web site said they had one in the right size (AND IT STILL DOES - making specific mention of the Gortex lining!) . In fact ProAdventure didn't have the cap in that size; they offered an alternative. When I turned that down, they very helpfully checked with Lowe Alpine and then had them send me a cap direct. However, when it arrived, the cap was not made with a Gortex lining. When I queried this direct with Lowe Alpine, the message was the Gortex cap had been discontinued some considerable time ago! Now, had I known that earlier, I could have bought the cap I now have, lined using Lowe Alpine's "TriplePoint", from a number of other suppliers who (a) were accurately advertising what they had to sell and (b) were cheaper.
Product rating : It's keeps you warm, it keeps you dry, it does the job.

Read more

Thank you for your feedback. Firstly, apologies for the mix up on our website. It has been amended.
Regarding the gortex lining of the cap. I am sure I explained on the phone that Lowe Alpine no longer produce the GTX lined cap, and was replaced with the Triplepoint lining. Apologies if there was some mix up.
Kind regards,
Anna.

Course Deposit for J. Ridgers

Service
Product

Service rating : During 2012 I chose Proadventure on three ocassions to provide me with canoe/kayak courses. Their flexibility, enthusiasm and professionalism from initial enquiry through booking to course delivery was second to none. It is the primary reason I have rebooked with them again in 2013.
Product rating : The knowledge, skill content and delivery by the Proadventures coaches/instructors associated with my canoe/kayak courses has been excellent. Their flexibility to listen and to work around their customer needs and work demands, whilst keeping their prices very competitive makes them an attractive company that I will continue to use to meet my learning needs.
