    A pricking iron and a good sharp awl helps.

    New axe mask

    I love my axes. I have quite a few. I always find they have poor masks and even the leather ones from GB fold and are then prone to slicing. So I made something a bit beefier for my hatchet.

    Sold Kifaru Express G2 plus

    This has been coddled. It has been used no more than a bozen times since I bought it from Kifaru. It is the full 1000d material. The back system is one of the best I have used. I have lugged a family's whole day of kit from the beach with wet wetsuits under the grab it and it was very...

    Sold Wantaforge early puukko

    Got this from Dylan a few years ago. It is very light and super slice but just doesn't come out anywhere near as much as it should. There is a dink on the top of the handle. I made an extra sheath to go with the one Dylan sent which is lower profile belt loop. I'd like £130 posted for this please.

    I may have to see if you are up for a trade on some of your tanned skins.

    Next knife - Recommendations?

    I am still using the 01 and RWL knives from you and I think I can get a slightly finer cutting edge on the 01. But in terms of workability there is little in it. The more I try to whittle down to one knife the more I end up getting as I use them for different jobs. Also, I mean, come on.... shiny!

    Moot 2020 Is it or is it not

    Very wise, with the spike in cases after VE day weekend and the inevitability of the second wave it is always better to be safe than sorry. I will try to make the 1500 mile round journey next year.

    Spoon carving

    Just a bit of dry elm I had knocking about. I had to order 1/4 inch drill bits to fit the handle, but with shafting epoxy (as in golf shaft) it works well. I shaped it roughly and octagonally for grip. Instagram is a great place for green wood workers, I am currently 'mentoring' three guys on...

    Spoon carving

    Many many thanks both. It is my meditation during this current situation. I am giving them to friends and have just given one to the local baker who had to close their cafe and now do deliveries. Made his day so well worth it.
