    It's a nice detail. Really nice knife.

    little 3" bush/hunter utility almost finished

    I make a pattern almost like that - the combination of the smaller blade and the full sized handle make it just excellent for all kinds of tasks, not to mention easy to carry. Your fit and finish look excellent - great job. What is the 2 part lanyard tube though? I don't think I've ever seen...

    YouTube is my new Favorite TV Show

    Our television has a youtube app with a default option to autoplay the next suggested video, and I've found that I can select a video on whatever subject I'm interested in at the time and it will do a pretty fine job of rolling with the theme. It's especially good at selecting music videos for...

    Copper saddler rivets - Best place and price to get from?

    They seem expensive to me too - 75 1/2" rivets for $17.25. Enough so that I considered making them - which wouldn't be all that hard as long as you don't mind them being peened on both ends. But then the cost of the washers, and the fact that 75 will last me a long time added up to more...

    Show us your ponds !

    We have one - Small enough to have a conversation across, but it still has a few catfish and bluegill in it. Perfect for a kid with a cane pole.

    Blacksmithing Basics video series

    I second that. Improvised anvil, forge, and tongs. Simple first projects to tackle. Etc. IE - how to get your feet wet without buying a whole swimming pool.

    Leather Rifle Scabbard

    Thanks. Either way, since this is exactly the kind of rifle that would be carried on horseback in the American west it's a perfect choice.

    Game of Thrones

    I stopped reading that series because it was taking so long that I would have needed to back up and re-read it to refresh my memory as to what was going on.

    Leather Rifle Scabbard

    Very nice - that took a big piece of leather! It looks as if it's your opinion that saddle rivets are stronger than stitches? Or was that an aesthetic choice?

    New Bushcraft UK T-shirts

    Will you ship them to the states? Will you have sizes for big guys? If yes, then I will buy some. The Evolution design is my favorite - it would allow me to express my enthusiasm for camping and offend fundamentalists at the same time.

    Glenn Frey passes away

    Tough year so far for show biz people. The Eagles were my favorite band when I was a kid, and when I broadened my taste a bit they still were. All good things must come to an end. Rest in peace.

    Revenant Ultimate bush craft movie

    Apparently liberal artistic license was exercised in making this film - FE wintery weather throughout the film conflicts with the report that Hugh Glass survived his 6 week ordeal by eating mostly roots and berries - unless there are berries available in winter that I'm not aware of. And I'm...

    Practical survival kit.

    A green laser pointer. If you point it at a passing jet law inforcement will find you within minutes.

    Amazon Prime

    Give them this - they refunded your money. It seems that a lot (most even) of companies are using some kind of gotcha scheme or another and many won't allow you to claw it back - or penalize you if you do. Petty theft from millions of customers has become one of the most profitable standard...

    3 Handmade Leather sheaths for Mora Clipper

    Those are great - the buyers got bargains IMO. Can you divulge what kind of stain you use for the antique/glaze finish?

    Methods of fire lighting.

    It's fire by friction - I believe that the ashes only increase the internal friction - although they may also contribute chemically somehow. There is another guy on youtube that also does it with many different materials - but cotton and ashes is the easiest, and best for giving it a try...
