    So.. what happened...

    FB isn’t great for discussion as it’s just one page where subjects get pushed down and lost quite quickly. So it’s harder to have a real discussion with people. As slowworm points out. It’s more about one off views and opinion posts than actual ongoing discussion and skills sharing. Things...

    That pretty much sums it up too.

    So.. what happened...

    It’s true. Many of us have moved on. Theres only so many times you can discuss the same old thing, and the lack of anything good on the TV has seen new people introduced to the subject drop. The art of communication is also being lost. I’m sure old timers like me are also to blame to some...

    PSA. Spyderco C94PDBL UKPK Blue 110 steel - £61

    Be careful with these. Amazon do a few good UKPK deals, but they can take weeks or months to arrive. Sometimes they get cancelled or allocated to third party sellers to fulfill over orders. And as they come from Amazon EU, and also further afield you may not get the exact item ordered. Seems...

    Faux Fivers

    There was a massive influx of forged Scottish notes in England a few months back. Even the banks were refusing them until they had trained up the staff. The fakers did well down here due to the relative unfamiliarity with them. It’s seems to have been cleared up now though and it’s business...

    What did you buy today?

    I bought a Henry Nock. But as he never made knives, I had to settle for this. Just got to wait till dusk now and a carriage

    BcUK Photograph of 2024 July Heat

    Bloody Hell. I’ll sit this one out then. That’s just taking the P to a whole new level. Nice one Kepis.

    A small collecton of skulls

    It’s 100% a badger. Juveniles 12 months and under haven’t developed the crest yet and are smooth like that. And the jaws aren’t locked in either at that age.

    Sold Wilkinson Sword Survival Knife

    Purely Ray Mears. I have the patents for this knife and it’s his design 100% apart from the bottle opener. Loftys survival tool has a similar blade design but he had no input on the WS design at all.

    I’ve got the studio version as I mainly use it for playing music. To just ask it to play something is far easier than going to the cd collection and rummaging through and then changing it. And quicker than using a phone too. And there’s nothing to connect to activate beforehand like you have...

    Ray Mears W/S woodlore

    It is yeah, the stock is much thicker at 5mm as well, and the distal taper makes a huge difference. Chunkier profile handles too.

    Ray Mears W/S woodlore

    The original Alan Wood. Blade shape is near perfect and I like his chunkier palm swells and flared butts.

    Ray Mears W/S woodlore

    It’s just the pictures. It’s a completely different weight, thickness, blade, grind and handle shape from the WS and previous Woodlore iterations. Totally different looking knife.
