My Covid-19 and later projects
Project 175 - part 2!

My Covid-19 and later projects
Project 175 A "flat Pack" Camping Table On long turn static camps I like to "travel heavy" and haul in furniture and tarps to make life as comfortable as possible ... but I also like the "home-made/Bushcrafty" ethos ...

New Member Cheshire - date of a William Rogers knife?
It looks like a Royal Navy Officer Cadet knife to me - I had one (off a sailor) ages ago ... but that had a Rosewood handle, although the blade and sheath are identical... As to date ... mine was 80's ...- John Fenna
