I joined in 2008. Been away from the knives for a few years since I moved to Canada. Just started getting the workshop going so went to BB for some inspiration to find it gone. Shame. Had some good times in there. Really enjoyed the knife progress shots that people posted. I still use a torch...

I would be on BB asking about BCUK if i had problems loading the site. Both equally great sites I can't do without

So whats the weather like? What biscuits should I have with my tea?

The summer here has not been good by Canadian standards. We have had lots of rain and the temperatures have not been as hot as expected. There is talk of us getting a good September like an Indian summer. You never know though. I have camping trips booked for every weekend in September and the...

At least you gave it a go. I have been meaning to make some for the longest time. No pain no gain! good job

I've seen Mike in action on one of his courses and would have to say he could probably make anything work well for him! Quickthorn, Ray Iles do a 10" convex edged froe http://tinyurl.com/pmedk6 My Gransfors has a very slight convex egde to it from the factory. It is expensive which is...

I bought it because unlike most froes available the Gransfors one should in theory make the above statement correct as the handle and eye has a taper that looks like it should not shift once whacked. The handle does however slip like previous froes i have owned (Iles). Its a shame as it really...

I love the Canadian knife. Very nice job Stu
