    Best repair option on paramo?

    I recently used a hemline iron on repair patch on a jacket (not paramo) that worked brilliantly.

    Are you left handed, right handed, mixed or ambidextrous?

    I think that's aweful...there's more about being left handed than forcing people to do things right handed. In my opinion left handers should be catered for but it seems to be one of the last acceptable forms of discrimination. Sent from Somerset using magic

    Are you left handed, right handed, mixed or ambidextrous?

    Kent pattern axe for carving?

    I went for the small one as I have a couple of larger axes should I require them. It's spot on for spoons, small kuksa's and the likes.... Sent from Somerset using magic

    Yup...bilhook sounds like the tool for you. I have a straight one that I use for all the above as well as a couple of hooked ones bit for me the straight one is more versatile. Can't remember what pattern it's called tho' Sent from Somerset using magic
