I got an awesome present today to take back to Reading. One of my dad’s knives made by Alan Wood in a matching set with his. I’m going to treasure it forever. Something happy in sad times.
Thankyou Dad and Alan Wood

Very nice... quite jealous, mainly that you have obviously loving parents @JonathanD Poppy is a credit to you and likely to go far with your support 
Seems I have much left to teach. Photography for sure. Although it’s not wasps and hornets. And you seem to get great shots of those.
Alan has never dropped his quality. Not bad considering how long he’s been doing this. These two knives we have are identical in every way. Here’s some good pics of them.

You have no idea. She’s a force of nature in her own right. I’d like to think we ignited that fire. But it was always there. It was always there in me, but my parents tried to drown that out and redirect me into law and business. I came full circle, and found my niche and was far more successful in my original path after facing bankruptcy and debt in theirs. I wasn’t going to make that mistake they made. Although, she was supposed to go into ophiology. And then she weirdly started to study wasps. So some wayward deviant kids can’t be educated it seems.

Made by Stuart Mitchell and of course Alan Wood. That was my old avatar I had on here for nearly 20 years and also my company logo before I updated it to the one I have now as it was a bit old and pixelated. @Trunks, an old member here designed that adder/England logo for me. It’s been with me and my kit and clothes for a long time now.

Are you accepting men in their late 30s for adoption? Asking for a friend.
So I got up to loads of stuff today and used my knife. I thought the handle would be way to massive for Poppy-hands but I think that big handles are more comfortable & easy to use. Like handlebar grips. When you are gripping hard all the time they are better. And motorbikes and cycles don’t have grips like a Mora. Imagine that. You wouldn’t find that fun to ride with. Same with sports bats and rackets and drills and axes and vacuum cleaners and saucepans and guns and bows and women bedroom appliances. They all have big grips.
