    Feather Sticks and a Sharp Knife

    autosol on the inside of a cornflake box works great for a strop. don't confuse a sharp edge with a fragile edge. a well polished edge with fewer imperfections will last longer than a mediocre "toothy" edge. each microscopic tooth is a potential stress riser once you've got the knack of...

    Why axes? (Axe v. Billhook v. Machete/Parang v.Saw v. Large knife)

    cool vid! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcoTnER4Efg billhooks and heavy machetes work really well on smaller stuff, which for most of us is perfect. as the wood gets bigger, only an axe will do. cheers, and.

    knives with bearing blocks? what next?

    one of the nicest bearing blocks i ever used was a pair of limpet shells, one inside the other to minimise heat transfer. they really do work a treat. my normal block is simply a pebble i found on a beach with a perfectly formed divot in the back of it. the simplest metal insert for slick...
