    Bushcraftuk.com seems less and less populated nowadays.. :(

    I've noticed the same, but see it as a result of the Facebook groups becoming so big. Often when chatting to folk and I ask them are you a member of the bushcraft forum they reply yes, but it always turns out to be one of the facebook groups instead

    A bit of traditional tattooing

    For true carvings, there are only a few simple salmon carvings in Scotland. None of cod, and I know of none in Scandinavia sadly. It's a case of drawing up a modern design inspired by those origins like my salmon Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

    Hidden tang knife

    nicely done, I agree with Janne. But the best way is to just use it, if it doesn't split then perfect, if it does, then just grind that tang down and enjoy making another :)
