I have an older saw, from the days when it was made with the same handle as the N°12 knife, and also at least one (probably two) with the more recent style handle. I've not tried changing these. A while ago I posted about a modified Opinel.

I have a copy of that, too. I agree, it's great, the recipes for different spice mixtures are something I've rarely seen in cookbooks.

A bit of thread necromancy to liven the day, eh?

I really like Opinels, I must have a dozen of them in various sizes, including the saws. I modified my first Opinel by filing a notch in the virobloc so that it would keep the blade folded in the handle (it had a nasty habit of opening in my pocket, and I quickly got tired of the tip finding...

Hmm... Kydex is easy to shape, as Buckshot wrote. I have a MIcra, and somewhere I have some bits of Kydex; if I can find it, I'll have a go at making a sheath. Give me a few days and if I've not replied to this thread remind me. Edit to add... I'll post a picture of a small Kydex sheath that I...

What do you mean by "an inside out piece"?

Over here in France the Scheppach DM600VARIO 550W variable speed wood lathe is being sold off by various retailers, at the moment, making me think that this model is being discontinued by the brand. Between €99 and €140 including delivery is typical pricing. I've had a look this model in the...

Speak for yourself... My mum used to cook fish for us at least twice a week when I was a kid. Nowadays, she eats more fish than meat. Every month or two she takes a trip up to Sunderland to spend a weekend with a cousin and then comes back home with a coolbox full of fish. And this is...

If I'm feeling hot, I'll run cold water over my wrists or plunge my wrists into a cold river; conversely, a good way to warm up is to run warm water over my wrists. But watch out! When your skin is cold, it looses sensation, so running really hot water straight from the hot tap onto very cold...

A couple of times on the past month I've bought raw prawns in the market. I boil them for six minutes in water with some salt and cloves and then shell them. I throw the heads and shells back in the water that they boiled in. I throw in a couple of inches of stem ginger (peeled and crushed)...

I don't think that there is a legally fixed price for the plat du jour; if there ever was one, it would probably have been abandoned at the same time as the price control on bread, 1 January 1987 (Ordonnance n° 86-1243 du 1 décembre 1986). There are still requirements for displaying, outside the...

Whereas I generally refuse to use takeaway delivery services exactly for this reason: I don't want to encourage exploitative systems when I can easily avoid them. In the marketplace, only money talks. If you pay, you are complicit.

A vacuum pump and 5 gallon chamber. A bobbin of candle wick.

Or figs?

Yes, and good customer service, too.

It's even funnier if you speak Spanish, Ukrainian, Hebrew or Russian...

When I lived in the US I would sometimes not add a tip to my bill paid by card, when I judged that the kitchen staff had done a mediocre job but that the service had been good. In those cases I would leave a cash tip that the waiter or waitress could pocket. In the US it is lawful and widespread...

I picked up a second hand toaster oven for €25. It took me all of ten minutes to find online, ten minutes to arrange with the girl when I could go over to pick up, twenty minute drive there and fifteen minutes back. This oven has a temperature range from 90°C up to 230°C, so on the lowest...
