Thanks everyone [emoji3] Sent from Somerset using magic

Eventually got round to making my wool blanket smock. I used a pattern that I adapted to what I wanted. Quite pleased with the result as it's my first clothing sewing project [emoji846] Sent from Somerset using magic

This is the picture I found. It seems capital letters as a scroll were post 1920.... Sent from Somerset using magic

Thank you, hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow. I've done a fair bit of googling (and eBay US) but haven't found an image of one the same. I found a site with dates of logos and it seems to be between 1920-1940. I think it might have been a good £15 investment! Itching for it to turn up now [emoji3]...

Anybody know anything about Case knives? I awaiting the arrival of one I've purchased and wondered what sort of year it was. Looking at the logos I believe it might be 1930's but wondered if any of you lovely people knew anything. Sent from Somerset using magic

Knives and tools weren't shipping to the UK either, I believe they will now but only for about £11 postage. I have a horrible feeling this is just the beginning of the new age! Sent from Somerset using magic

Happy new year all! Sent from Somerset using magic

Oops, sorry for hijacking again! Yes, you've summerised my indecision there...losing strength of the 2 for the versatility of the 1....oh, decisions, decisions! There's always the Whitby version of the TBS boar...very similar though. I don't understand why they stopped making the pk70 . I was...

Do you have the BM1 or BM2? I can't decide which is the handiest blade profile of the two. I agree the Luna has a weaker backspring the choil certainly helps avoid accidentally closing. The Wasp has a couple of stops which can be annoying but a handy safety feature. But as the OP says their...

My favourite ones to carry are Enzo pk70, Fox nauta, Terry Kidd friction folder, Manly wasp and Realsteel Luna. I'm thinking of getting a Lionsteel bestman in the new year as they just look beautifully made but a tad pricey. Which one I have in my pocket depends on what I'm likely to be doing...

And handled with brass and stacked leather.....still a few bits to do and a sheath but pretty happy with it so far! Sent from Somerset using magic

Keep those pics coming....really want to see this when completed! Sent from Somerset using magic

Or get the blade only for about £20 and handle yourself....it's a cracking little knife :-) Sent from Somerset using magic

Yes, hopefully! Turned out a bit bigger than I intended but it's incredible how much you can move the metal about! Sent from Somerset using magic

So, yesterday I went on a three hour forging session at Oldfield forge in Herefordshire (well recommended!) That my wife got me for my birthday. Here's the fruits of my labour....still a way to go but will handle it soon!! Sent from Somerset using magic

I've got two weeks off and looking forward to some local bimbles on the Mendips. We're going to pick up my dad have him at ours Christmas day and drop him home in the evening. I'm not sure it's the right thing to do but he's 86 and I haven't seen him since September as I'm a tutor teaching set...

Thank you for your advice and offers chaps. I have ordered the pattern recommended in one of the above videos. If its not suitable I will drop Bopdude a pm to borrow his pattern. Thanks again all [emoji846] Sent from Somerset using magic

Just watched the second vidoe in full and saw the pattern...now ordered and keen to make it myself!! Thank you Mesquite!

Thank you...but i'm specifically after a ready made pattern as the wife has said she won't make me one without!
