Thanks folks, both sound plausible to me !

Not really an edged tool I know, but the wisdom is here, I am sure ! what sort of hammer is this ? Head weighs about 7 oz, cannot seem to find anything like it on ghe places I have looked. Closest seems to be a brick hammer but surely its too light ? Wisdom appreciated !

Thanks folks, Im pleased its A nice old UK firm.

Am restoring this axe, does anyone recognise the makers mark, if thats what it is ? thanks Bb

OK so I am not the most dexterous chap and am certainly not one to get all aroused about angles and micro bevels, each to their own eh ? BUT I do like a sharp knife. At home the Spyderco sharpmaker does a grand job, but when travelling or just away for a weekend I have tried many field...

Be keen to join you if you get something sorted.

Well, things have moved on and so have we. First new home was shall we say, filthy, dirty, smelly and illegal. We are now in a castle dating to 13C being restored by its owners, who both work in this field. Much better !

Looks like its finally sorted, felt like more effort than it should have been, !

OK to clarify..... We are spending the winter in Bavaria, I ordered dressing gowns as Christmas gifts for myself and my wife. Filson had a holiday bonus offer which meant spend X get a voucher for Y When the voucher finally arrived, I assumed one copied the whole code into the appropriate place...

Would love to find some decent breeks, the old Rohan striders were bloody great, but apart from those you mention cannot find any.

Well I have always liked the look of it, but very costly. However, on our travels in deep Bavaria, dressing gowns at home, and a so called holiday bonus ie spend a-ton of cash, get a big voucher. So, I thought why not ? Bought us both a nice flannel dressing gown as Chrissy presents, dont tell...

Well we moved on down to Bavaria. Quite a place here. Our host Manfred with the camels Donkeys. plus the alpaca, ponies, hens sheep pigs and rabbits. Oh and the goats.

Thanks ! we are a bit worried that if lockdown tightens this week it may be tricky to stay but we shall see what is announced. There is a good feel to it all, our hosts need help, they accomodate and feed us, and we are letting someone house sit for free at home, so everybody benefits. If only...

re handled some old tools for our hosts one day this week, very satisfying. Also on with sawing up then splitting eight cubic metres of trees.........takes a while.

Mine are short sleeved lightweight about 8euro whn I got them fit is fine, I am a big lad myself, if its the same material the long sleeved would be good too I guess.

I have one of these from maybe twenty years ago, still going strong, and its had some real wear. Get is professionally cleaned and it comes up like new. A superb item of kit.

Whilst catching up.........I have just bought a Carhartt vest out here, its warm fleece canvas outer, about 70 Euros, nowhere near as smart ir nice as the SK wool vest, but proving to be a good tough work horse.

Sorry for the delay, we are in Germany and I dont look here as often as I should. In the end I just bought it direct from SK in the US, it was the easiest option and came quite quickly. It seems hard to find any UK dealer with a decent selection of their stuff.

Just got me a Carhartt gilet, canvas outer, fleece lined, really good piece of kit for working outdoors, have to say I am very impressed, would look at them for future purchases. Oh, and it looks like its bomb proof, but only time will tell.

Just got a Mountain Hardwear down jacket, citadel or fortress or some name like that. Its a full on thick jacket, not yer modern skinny down ones, and I must say its half the weight and twice the warmth of me old Rab, again non skinny. I got it by searching those sites which find an item, and...
