This is Luna, our 2-year old cocker spaniel. One of the few successful photos of her, as she is usually moving too fast…

Picked this up in pretty used condition, and spent a couple of hours yesterday sanding and polishing (as per Ben Orford’s restoration tutorial on YouTube) to bring this back to its former glory. I’m going to make this my main user for teaching this year.

As someone who has four children...can I have some of the drugs you're taking, please?

There's a few videos on them on YT. Some of the makers are ok, the Chinese knock-offs are pretty terrible, but universally recognized that Victorinox made the best ones, which isn't a surprise to anyone. Problem with the new GAK / Soldier from Victorinox is that it isn't UK legal. Blade is too...

Essentially, yes - Mears designed the Pro to be better at a wider variety of tasks that you would beed in a bushcrafting context. It’s still very good with wood, and has a taper so that the tip is slimmer and slightly more pointy than the original Woodlore for fine carving. It’s a small...

I’ll take it.
