    MartinK9, Nice pictures. Interesting to see those limited ones getting some actual use. Is the steel that was used for the JP version made public? All I ever read was 'carbon steel'. Any comments on edge retention as compared to the SWC and AW versions? -Emile

    Meet my new knife: The Tramp!

    Very nice! I like the dropped point - one of my two gripes with the SBT is the clip i.o. a drop point. But why the indentation at the edge start? I can't see a purpose in that for a scandi. Cheers, -Emile

    Tips on roasting goose?

    When plucking, just have a tub of hot water ready and dink it in occasionaly- old farmers trick. The feathers will come loose and rub roff with ease. Should work on all birds. -Emile

    The battle of the BUGS!! spring is upon us!!

    I wonder if the severe cold and snow will have done anything to the insect population. Here we have had a couple of heat/cool cycles - it should have some effect, I reckon.

    Folding shovel/frying pan/seat/gun rest!!
