Obviously you were on the Nice List!

Happy New Year all. Just wondering if any of you got any fun bushcrafty stuff for Christmas? I thought mine was going to be all dull this year & then the family gave me a voucher for one of Barn’s spoon carving courses in February. Result!

Forgot the picture:

Sorry I’m a bit late to the party! Got into some nice rum (Foursquare Select Cask 2009) & not entirely sure which day we are on now! Thanks to whoever sent me this gorgeous snowman!

Me too. I do a lot of lurking these days. It would do me good to have to make something again.

Plus one for Larousse Gastronomique. Also for Food Lab. Michel Roux Sr’s book Pastry is a classic for patisserie also. That should at least get you started. Then probably Modernist Cuisine to catch up on the molecular stuff. Great British Chefs online is also good for keeping up to date.

Looks like you posted this in the wrong place fella.

Rough Ryder will be in budget & make some decent legal carry folders for the money. Several spear points in their range

Hi. Welcome along.

Ben Orford Field knife with leather magnetic neck sheath on paracord. Very little used as the antler tine is just too small for my big paws. The blade is spot on. Very sharp & holds the edge well. Rounded back on the blade so better for whittling etc I think. This would make a great Christmas...

Beeswax is miraculous stuff. For all the purposes above and also for me, for a couple of very specific jobs. The first is to make “white butter” to line my copper moulds to bake cannelés de Bordeaux. The second, to line a glass bottle in which to age a Negroni or Boulevardier cocktail. Beeswax...

I found a decent canvas chef’s knife roll online somewhere for about £20 which would be good for tools. Only got about a dozen slots though, but you could put a few extras in the middle inside the flap to get more in. Has a carry handle and a shoulder strap too, which is useful.

I feel that sanity in general is vastly overrated. Usually by those whose own may well be suspect. I’m fine in my bubble thanks. I will get around to adjusting stuff eventually, or not.

In Kendal, where the mint cake grows.

A good working silver/goldsmith could recover the gold & the stones and remake them into something you would like to wear. I have a friend who does this regularly for people. Her business is called Nisha Halo. Her work is lovely. Really nice person too.

One of the few knives I really do regret selling is the one I bought from Rob years ago. The more knives I own the more I realise how good that one was!

Really like my 600 but they are prone to quickly trashing the nylon sheath supplied. Where was the kydex one from?

Now gone. Thank you.

I’m a confirmed ground dweller so I have absolutely no use for this kind birthday gift. Aiming to pass it on, at a substantial saving, to someone else who will make use of it.

Master of Malt is probably your best chance. Around £30 I think.
