    Massively. Do you know of any video tutorials (or have you made any yourself) for the different notches? Some I've been shown, like the pot-hanger, others are fairly straightforward like V and saddle. But the 90° planes and the reduction I just did by feel, so I was wondering if there was a...

    Try Stick

    My first effort - such a satisfying way to pass the time. I tried with seasoned and greenwood - definitely more forgiving when the wood is fresh. Even so, how @Kepis makes the wood look like it's been milled is beyond me. It was also a great way to get familiar with my Joker Bushlord which I'm...

    Immaculate! Apart from the link that Toddy shared, are there any other guides for making one? I'd love to give it a try.

    The 'I've found a bargain' thread

    Sorely tempted by this (not that I need *another* stove), but the reviews are quite mixed

    Last of the Beech.

    Really handsome, well done. When soaking overnight, is it best to work through the spoon all in one go, or can you re-soak it?

    Had a go at adding pouches to the LK35

    Needlecraft isn't really my forte, but I had some time to kill and fancied trying my hand at something new. After dithering about which kind of pouch to add to the LK35, I decided that adding some PALS style webbing might be the most versatile option. I ordered two of these...

    Book or Kindle?

    Both for me. The kindle is so convenient: always fits in a pocket, can read in bed without having the lights on, endless supply of books on holiday, can switch between books depending on mood, looking up definitions and so on. But you can't beat the feel and smell of a book, or browsing a...

    Felix Immler and Victorinox Venture Bushcraft fixed blade collection

    I'd say that the finish was 'fine'. As I mentioned, the edge was frighteningly sharp, but you can see the moulding marks on the handle and given that it's plastic/rubber and steel, it doesn't feel particularly premium. Next to the Joker, there's no comparison in fit and finish really. It feels...

    Felix Immler and Victorinox Venture Bushcraft fixed blade collection

    Well, it's going back. I'd kind of already made that decision after watching a few review videos, but now I've got it in my hands it's not for me. Positives: The blade is ludicrously sharp, serious razor edge. The back edge of the blade and the edge of the pommel are really sharp so I can see...

    I wish I could tell you, but Victorinox are having issues with DHL and the knife has been sat in the Midlands for a week! I spoke with them yesterday and they think everything should get delivered by the end of this week.
