    New handle and sheath for Skrama

    Thanks Pete. I am even more attached to it now, after getting comments like that from other users. I must admit to not even thinking about the balance until after the handle was nearly sanded. But lo and behold, and luckily for me, it was nearly spot on. I think I'd have had re-do it if it...

    New handle and sheath for Skrama

    It's a joy to use. Excel's at chopping, batten's with ease, feathers superbly. Can also be used as a draw knife if needed. It came razor sharp too, which I didn't really expect. I've only ever needed to strop it a couple of times, and even then I don't think it needed it, just did it out of love...

    New handle and sheath for Skrama

    Thanks chaps. Appreciate your kind words. I guess, because I was very mindful of the fact that it was my second sheath, and that my experience in these things is limited, plus the standard of work seen on here is astounding, made me see it as clumsy. I didn't struggle with the handle, that was...

    New handle and sheath for Skrama

    Hey. Thought I'd show you chaps a re-handle and sheath project. I love the skrama, it's a quality tool. Birch handle, leather and ash sheath. Not meant to be historically accurate, just me playing with some wood and leather. I am only looking to slide the knife into my pack, not to hang it...

    Sounds good. I will add it to my 'to do' locations. Would be great to meet up. Have you got a postcode for parking? Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

    Wood wool eco fire lighters

    Burned one today, flames lasted 9 mins 30 seconds. Very happy with that. But as I type, there's still a substantial ember there, glowing nicely. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

    waterproofing leather gloves - Bonedry waterproofer?

    Great gloves aren't they.. I was looking for a home made recipe myself. Something akin to the gorgeous smelling lundhags boot grease. I'm sure that would also work, and much cheaper than buying, and exceptional fun to do. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

    Wood for scales

    I still have a lot of spalted birch in my wood stacks. I've rehandled a Mora 2000 with it. If it's any use, I can send you some bits to use foc if you like, just PM the sizes :) Sorry for the awful image, only one I can upload at the moment. I'll add some better ones when I get home Saturday so...

    Monkey puzzle wood, any good for carving?

    Ah, thanks for that. I won't be turning it, only a bowl or platter. I'm up your way pretty frequently on my wanders, I can fetch a lump up for you to have a bash at if you like. No trouble at all. :) Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

    Finnish Defence Forces Leather Boots

    I have a pair of the first boots. They're very well made, and comfy. They are a tad heavy though, so I use them for when I don't need, or intend walking longer distances than a couple miles. They're generous in width and allow for thicker socks in colder weather, not that I've seen much colder...
