Sheaths done, greased up and nicely warmed through by the sun to help it soak in!

Blimey! Good to hear from you! :D

Ha ha! And this is it looking good, comparatively to what it was. I know I’m messy. It’s the way my brain is.

I finally got fed up and made a really big push at getting my garage sorted out. It doesn't really look like much but believe me, it's a BIG change! I should have taken a pic before I started but forgot! As happens, moving in everything gets dumped in the space. I actually took...

So often roads lead back the way you've come. I had a google about this Sirram 'The Wasp' set of my Dad's that I have to move on for him. Well no surprise that there was a result for BCUK...... It's a cool little set and I can see how it would have been handy to use.

It’s a while since I’ve read it, to be fair!

My thoughts are similarly like others about being a broken record of my views. A good handle is more important than a good blade - to me. If I can hold it comfortably I can compromise and adapt other tasks. If I can’t hold it well then, well, every task is a challenge. So back to the...

I was going to suggest a second hand vaude I have too but the unrealistic responses put paid to that! Brand new only but also hoping for a prototype. Yeah right - get a reality check.

For a sharp to stay up is unusual.

Whole bean coffee is good for you as is, if that helps. I’ve never tried cacao with it - never thought to/ had the opportunity - but if it suits your taste I would say go for it. Coffee is a surprising source of fibre. Stats a few years back had it that the average American gets a third of...

He stated his preference and what suits him. I love how you can tell him that he’s wrong. It’s great that it’s now solved for him.

Weirdly I can find a loose bolt acceptable as I figure that the idea is that they can come off. Not buying one though! Comes back to being an expensive kit knife to me!

Slap the scales on is right - I hadn’t noticed the big gaps on that right hand scale when I commented on the grain orientation before.

You’re talking about the spine of the blade where others are referencing the handle.

In fact, telling that of Alan also brings to mind the quote that he finished the talk with - it was probably some 26 years ago but some things stick. “Climb if you will but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence and a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a...

Is this like the story of reinforcing plane wings in the war? They started by reinforcing the areas where the holes were on planes that came back but then later realised it was the planes that weren’t coming back that they should worry about. Think on the what if no one is there to help is a...

Larger knives haven’t been banned in the uk. Where have you read that?

Love it!
