    More carboot tools

    It looks to me like КЗСД which would be KZSD. Z

    More carboot tools

    These look the same as the little gouge that Topknot found on Amazon http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144278 I think they are the Crown tools budget set http://www.crownhandtools.ltd.uk/page39.html that have been mis-ground. Z

    Little Mask for Carving Hatchet

    Is this Robin's new design of carving axe with the Jojo designed handle? How are you finding it? Decent bit of leatherwork that. Z

    zebra billy can/lunchbox insert

    Good to see Teddy again! I trust he is well. I like your set-up for it's sheer simplicity, Dan. You always seem to manage to go beyond noodles and boil in the bag stuff, so I know it works well. Z

    My first carving knife

    Despite how it often described, The Mora "draw knife" is actually sold as a "wood splitting knife", so may not be quite what you imagine. https://morakniv.se/en/product-category/all-knives/woodcarving-knives/wood-splitting-knives/ Of course once you have a tool which requires both hands, you...

    LK35 Mod Questions

    Wow. You have bought pouches! After buying the rucksack at a bargain price, I couldn't bring myself to pay what was being asked for pouches! Will watch with interest as I plan on making some pockets from scratch. Z

    What is it? Plus - One for the Bag Makers?

    Twodogs is right. Google "Danish army roll top rucksack" It looks like they are often without straps so merchants fit them with old British straps. Z

    I'm guessing it's a periwinkle. Z

    Don't call me Nymphadora!

    I was looking for a little whittling project to play with my new E. Jonsson Mora. Smallest daughter suggested that I make her a wand to go with her red nose day Harry Potter costume. Just one catch; she's going as Nymphadora Tonks whose wand turns out not to be a fancy chopstick. Here's my...

    little spoon gouge

    The quality of these is apparently quite variable. Z

    Sicut. Something not quite the norm

    Very interesting. Like a two edged version of those Siberian knives. The downside would be trying to convince an officer of the law that it wasn't intended for stabbing people. Z

    Carrying fixed blades whilst wild camping

    I think the law on knives is an example of what I term "Bus-lane legislation". It happens when the lawmakers are unable to think like law-breakers. A bus lane is supposed to provide a free lane for buses taxis and cycles. An unintended consequence of putting one in is that it also gives a free...

    Moving back to the US, goodbye my little village.

    Just to sound a more hopeful note. I have been privileged to know a few "recovered" alcoholics (they all would have said they were still alcoholics). Men (that's what they were) who had found in themselves the strength to wrestle their demons every day and still enjoy life without complaining...

    Did it arrive sharp and ready for use? Or have you had to sharpen it before use? Z

    Traveller's food old style

    I don't think anyone has mentioned stories as currency. Travelers bringing news of far off places, cultures, technologies etc. may well have been offered a meal and a seat by the fire in return. Z
