I think the right bread is just as important for bacon butties as the bacon. Soft and White - the fresher the better, dabbed in a bit of bacon fat for good measure but not soaked to the point of inducing immediate heart failure. Perhaps the smallest smidge of HP sauce depending how crispy it is...

Looking for a decent drawknife for various wood projects this year. Ideally under £80ish. What are peoples recommendations?

Not too sure if it has a secondary bevel or not but I am kind of intrigued by the hardness; a stated 62 HRC is higher than I would expect this steel to maintain good toughness, but I’m certainly not complaining.

Thanks Turnip, they must have just got them in at Moonraker.

Yes I have most of it still knocking round myself. Probably because I’ve only ever used it to polish 2 x phosphor bronze washers.

I have an X27 splitting maul and a bill hook (I forget the model no.) that I use frequently and both are still going strong after over a decade of use. Both are nicely weighted and balanced pieces of kit with well matched steel that resists both edge chipping and edge rolling surprisingly well...

HH drop point UKPK or The QSP Hedgehog - a hugely impressive knife for the cost.

I guess it depends where you are and what you do. If you work in an inner city office in London then the chances of you needing one are significantly less than someone who works the Forests in Scotland. If owning one makes you happy then go for it. Always better to have one and not need it...

I’ve owned the large 8” coarse/medium and fine/extra fine diamond combi stones from DMT. They were ok but much, much prefer The 8” diamond #400 grit and #1200 plates from Atoma. The “interrupted“ pattern of the DMT stones are simply a sales gimmick in order to sell you a larger stone with less...

No it’s fine, cheers for bringing it to my attention. May possibly explain why it’s not sold yet.

I can confirm it isn’t a crack. It is a dark feature in the grain of the beech that has occurred due to it being spalted.
