    No, it’s a different supplier. They used to be branded FireFlash. I think they only make them exclusively for Woodlore now.

    So.. what happened...

    It wouldn’t usually happen, I was just tired and impatient. But the edge on that knife was a bit too fine. The handle is dyed giraffe bone. I had a great supplier of some of the finest giraffe bone in all sorts of finishes, so I’ve got knives that are almost pure ivory coloured, to these...

    So.. what happened...

    Not batonning at the time I did that. I was just cutting through a pine bough and hit a hard knot and twisted the blade three times, as I didn’t realise it was causing damage until I’d finished. That was one of Stu Mitchell’s. He did a couple of high grinds for me at that time and the edge is a...

    Hi Paul. Yep, I can do that no problem. That’s a promise. And thankyou. That far north you’ll just be looking at the Common lizard. You probably saw a mixture of juveniles and adults. The colouration can vary between the sexes, especially around the breeding season. It’s far too cool that...

    It’s got two big chips. Although not as bad as it was a few years ago. It had three then. It doesn’t t really get in the way anymore. Another year and they’ll be near gone I reckon.

    Time of the year. And well…. I’m a bloke. And I’m not even going to analyse why you think a softer rod works best.

    Ferro Rods .

    There are huge varying degrees of quality. From utterly unusable to great. The best ones IMO are the Ray Mears versions and Light My Fire. I did a review a few years back….. er….Many years back. And they came out best by far. Not sure if the LMF have changed in quality, but the RM ones are...

    Finished Damascus And Stag Bushcraft Knife

    If you enlarge that image on your screen to be 22 cms in length, then just put a sheet of A4 over it and trace the outline. The screen brightness will make that dead easy. Then you’ve got an exact template. I took care to remove any lens distortion from the picture, so it will be 100% accurate...
