Yes, the Secare is very nice, as are several of his sets of deer stalking knives and kitchen cutlery as well.

No shortage of artisans to be sure, but not very many have the sort of history in knife making Stuart has, nor the passion in their craft he does. And not all are such class acts either. I must have bugged him about this knife 10 times in the course of making a decision and sorting the funds...

Over here we have many with large platforms in positions of influence who have, in some peoples' opinions, quite mastered the art of using feigned stupidity as a form of camouflage to hide their true selves from the undereducated masses. That may not be limited to just over here

Thanks for letting me know, I like that a lot, great profile that would fit in really well. But the project I am working on is a somewhat different sort of cookbook that, among other things, is an homage to as many of the knife makers I have gotten to know and have come to admire over the last...

I'm not too bad about dropping my knives, but I am prone to lay them beside me when I am diging up roots, even sheathed. I live in a deciduous temperate rain forest with a LOT of leaf little on the ground, and between myself and the blustery winds of late summer early autumn sometimes part of...

One of the first things I learned when I started reading the forum was that I wanted to some day acquire one of Stuart Mitchell's knives. And after 17 years of rollercoaster life.... recessions, a divorce, a broken leg, a career change, the madness of the last 4 years, 9 years as a single dad...

Hello Red! They are considered a weed here too by most I imagine, especially the ones spending big money on Elderberry products at whole foods who don't have a clue what an Elderberry bush looks like. I'm writing a flora fauna of this region ID book. So I've spent a good bit of time studying...

Hello nice to meet you. Thank you. I've had an A1 and S1 but never had an F1. I felt the same way about the A1 and S1 though. I like the TK2, I like metal hilts on my field knives to protect the handle in hard use. Yes, it was thoght of as a healing well too. I still drink the water...

I know it's an old thread and all, but since it's here and I've been studying Elderberries this growing season, with an eye toward transplanting some wild ones somewhere I can have more oversight and less competition for the berries, I'll ask questions here first... Have you ever transplanted...

We have very few actual relics here in the hills like you guys have over there in Europe, but there is a little history here as the structure here beside the bridge covers the head of an iron water spring, for which a trail came hence from the Signal Mountain Inn back in 1913. They kept a...

I can't read a post about midges without hearing Sam Gamgee in my head asking "what do they live on when they can't get Hobbit?" We have some here, but I can wear enough clothing tho keep them mostly at bay since they bite, but the mosquitoes here in our wetlands can be maddening as they can...

LOL I never know what I'm going to learn in what thread here. I'm hoping to try one of the Joker knives later, I've heard good things about some of them from friends but haven't had time to research them with all the work on my plate lately. Interestingly this thread has been helpful to that...

I work at a local outfitters, we sell Victorinox, and we got some of these on stock over the weekend while I was off, so I grabbed this one Monday morning when I saw them in the display. I haven't done a lot with it yet, but with the bright red handle and the full flat grind, I can see how it...

Great article BR, a very enjoyable read all around, and very nicely put together. Living in a city in a rain forest with a huge river running through the middle of it, safe drinking water is something I spend a bit of time thinking about, and lately I have been looking into some of the new...

Very nice H! My daughter is going to dig this!

Hi Andy, I hope all is well your way. Your PM box is full. Man life has been so crazy this year...both good and bad. I am sorry to have been out of touch for so long, but haven't been on forums as much as I'd like, or out in the woods as much either. Between the move, the kitchen, the new...

Thank you, good to be back! There were several close calls...wasn't at all sure I would make it back anywhere.... but then, I am the stubborn type :)

Good to be around again! It has been a crazy time for us lately. What we thought was a move north to start a new life was a bad move. It was an exercise in futility and frustration, and learning that blood relation does not equal family. We lost our life savings over lies by my own brother, and...

That looks awesome BR, I really need to get my life settled enough I can do this sort of thing again. But there wouldn't really be a need for making screws or forging nails. By making use of dado cuts (maybe housing cuts there), mortises, and mortise and tenon joints, with strategically placed...

Ok, so obviously it's been a while since I posted. But can someone tell me what the new limit for hosted images per post is now. It was 10 images at one point but even that seems to be too many now. Thanks, Brian
