I’m sure it closed down very recently this year maybe?

Personally I wouldn’t go for the Roselli dimensions. 7 inch is a short length for chopping. I’d be looking for 9 inches and over. As for diameter of the spine it depends if your planning on splitting or snedding but I get by perfectly fine with 3.5mm on my traditional leuku and the one above.

No that makes perfect sense to me. I do feel the billhook is one of best tools for our climate it’s just a bit bulky to be carrying around on the off chance you see that perfect hazel stick for example.

Another positive for a leuku is the grip as mentioned. I find i hold it with two fingers and a thumb right at the end of the handle so the blade swings back with more wrist action. I should add that monstrosity in the image is a extra large one I made for my own needs and doesn’t follow the...

I’ve got a couple I’ve mainly used them for de branching trees when I was carrying out water way maintenance. I keep a fairly chunky one in my fishing jacket.

All fresh water species are edible. As in not poisonous. Rules do vary between England Scotland and Wales especially with Salmonids. One for starters brown trout tastes fine and the minimum size is 8 inches. Mainly game fish (Salmon, Trout) are taken for the pot but in Wales Salmon can not be...

Only thing I would do would be leave the forge finish on the blade and just grind the bevels but I’m a big brute de forge fan. I think it would look pretty good with the rasp marks in it still. Here’s one I left as a forged finish.

If fishing for sea trout and salmon in tidal waters you still need to posses a migratory fishing licence in England and Wales.

Is the river stocked? Even though the fish is full finned the pattern reminds me of a grown on stocked fish.

Who wants to start the “non native” debate then?

As a ex forward observer with operational experience. I used a gerber suspension multi tool. I had no need for a fixed blade and it would have just been extra weight.

I haven’t used either but I do have a few mora companions in carbon and stainless. In basic the carbon looses its edge quicker but is quicker to sharpen and if neglected rusts. Steels are always a compromise. Stainless will be more corrosion resistant and will have a tougher edge to the...

You can now buy them in B&Q for a small fortune.

With a factory as big as Mora I’m guessing it’s a case that it’s different production lines which is causing a bit of difference with the machining.
