    Advice needed please- long-term survival diet

    Pemmican, rice and additional cans of beans in water. Once you've eaten all that, go home and rejoin normality as Britain is about as wild as a golf course and as 'natural' as one too. The idea that our island can provide enough wild food for the average person is laughable. You're better...

    Morris billhook

    Most billhooks I've seen, owned and used have been single beveled/chisel ground. Proper hedge laying is much easier with a single bevel/chisel grind but obviously plenty with a normal grind exist (and are my preferred as I haven't layed hedges in years!).

    Morris billhook

    Looks like quite a nice billhook mate. :) I've always found them to be pretty decent and versatile. But that depends on the blade shape. The hooked tip does get in the way though, especially when whittling a project on a work stump. The tip gets stuck and only the first section of the blade...

    The steel is great! Try to get a crosscut saw for £10 or less. Those vintage hipster shops want £20 a saw but eBay sellers have stacks of them for chump change if you collect. I've found the steel to be ideal for thinner blades. Far cheaper, easier and quicker than forging round bar!

    A few of my current projects! *watch this space.*

    I lost track of time and only realised a earlier that I needed the leather craft knife finished by today as I'm gifting it tomorrow..!! Straight out the vice, where it's been sitting for a few days. Hacked off some excess with a hacksaw and then tried to close in on the lines with the angle...

    Here's the marbles knife for those interested. The handle still needs finishing and the cutting edge needs polishing etc. And here's the leather craft knife. Like I mentioned, it's been chisel ground previously and today in the little bit of clear skies I finished the inside groove shaping...

    A few of my current projects! *watch this space.*

    Cheers guys! The small curved blade is a leather knife. It's for shaping, skiving and slicing leather. I've chisel ground it and it's lookin promising, just need to grind the finger area and dig out some walnut for the scales! The steel is good. Holds a nice edge, is rigid but not brittle and...
