    Building a sheath for this particular knife - question

    I tried a couple of options for a Boat Knife style blade which isn't 100 miles away. First one was a friction fit belt sheath. Was very deep as needed to grab the top of the handle and so the lanyard came in useful. Note the extra stitching to make it tighter. 2nd one was for living in...

    Think we got a little under 2.5kg. We were finding the sunny side of the path were all past but the shadey side were perfect, slower to ripen so bigger and juicier! So now I'm going to get some toast and jelly... :)

    Brambles, masses of beautifully ripe and sweet brambles

    We had a bumper crop this year, so much so that we made bramble jelly and apple and bramble jam at the weekend. Nothing too imaginative I'm afraid but I love bramble jelly and it saves me buying any jam for the next year!

Eventually escalated to a parter who basically said "it's clear what she was trying to do, let's just do it" A...
