Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
This comment of his should be taken in context. He was just about to cut wood at something like minus 20 or 30, not just one piece of wood but probably several, and if it isn't razor sharp in that environment then perhaps it really is useless.
How many of you who don't think it needs to be...
Seriously? Ok now I am worried again.
Thanks John, yeah i had a look at the RVOPS version, and it would be that or nothing I think, as I really want to use my side pockets. I guess I just have to find out how well it fits a sleeping bag now.
@Lurch @Tony
Thanks for the history lesson. No, you got it Lurch, I just didn't know what I was talking about, didn't realise they were different brands...although come to think of it this does eplain why I couldn't find any SFs on the Karrimor website.
Since when have they been different...
I wouldn't bother, Karrimor were bought out about 7 years ago, it's all inevitable. Despite this I am interested in the Sabre 45, because I cannot find a decent equivalent that takes PLCE pockets.
Question:
Does anyone have the Vulcan pack with side pockets use these pockets on a Sabre 45? I...
There will be better insights into your problem here, but my reaction is that the bark in your photo can only be about 500 pixels wide, so the detail is already limited by that. From 100m away, yes I'd say you're expecting too much from a point and shoot. It's not that these cameras don't take...
good stuff. he has written about camera makers frequently downgrading their own products via firmware so that their product line stays nicely incremented in price, this must be why you can make them so much better!
I've used another lumix camera and it had terrible noise and even worse noise reduction (smudge-o-matic), but essentially all compact cameras suffer the same problem, their smaller format optics, so you may benefit from getting the smallest good one you can find if you want to save weight (such...
It's not the most up to date but I'll bet they're very similar cameras:

This guy is actually very knowledgeable if you're prepared to look past his opinionated, egotistical writing style. He writes loads too, on account of his unending...
Nice work. Plum is very nice wood but as you say it's rock hard, which I rediscovered recently when I carved a large fish slice for the kitchen. Felt like a mammoth job but then I did do it standing up for some reason. The thick branch had been broken in a hedge in wind a year or two back and...
He is definitely a silly man. However, I think he meant that sharpening and honing are the same thing in his book, because it would make no sense to compare an action and an object as apples and oranges.

At least someone has confidence in clearing this up:
'Do I need to “hone” my tools after I sharpen them?
No Timmy, you are comparing apples and oranges.
A hone is the stone or surface you sharpen on.'

A nice cross-section of feedback, thanks.
John, I share your sentiment, but the reason it caught my eye is that I intend to make a strop and I have wondered several things, including whether or not I'll use compound and whether or not to make a stiff boarded-strop. I read a woodcarver's...
Doc, what are the thicknesses of the blades in your OP? I recently bought a 3mm Puuko and it came with a very broad bevel, making the edge very slender. I am interested in how it compares, especially to the Olson blade.
