Just a heads up, Varusteleka have found a courier who will ship knives to the UK. So if any of you were after one of their excellent tools but couldn't get hold of one for the last year or two...

I was perusing my favourite web store and they've just added this https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/finnish-external-frame-rucksack-green-surplus/63316 . The pack itself looks a bit ugly but I'm thinking the frame and leather harness are ripe for modding. I'm thinking an Italian mountain...

Just having a look on Varustelekas site to see if they've added anything interesting and noticed this post https://www.facebook.com/varustelekaint/photos/a.1382625171914671/1382625711914617/?type=3 Showing some images of what may become their one handed skrama. It looks very interesting.

Just spotted these on the Varusteleka site. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/romanian-retro-pack-surplus/62292 Already ordered one to fuel my pack addiction:)!

I've always fancied a Frost River Geologist pack but have always baulked at the price. I saw these on Varusteleka and thought I'd give them a go. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/czechoslovakian-m60-backpack-w-o-suspenders-brown-surplus/6173 I ordered two and they sent one canvas and one...

The northmen added this old film to their youtube channel.

Found this on vimeo today. https://vimeo.com/120156522 Nicely shot.

Just a heads up that this book is back in print. I ordered mine just the other day. Can't wait to read it.

Sorry if this has been posted before but it is a great film about the Kalahari bushmen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfeNcsQZmZY Warning to the squeamish, contains the killing of animals.

For those of you looking for more rugged footwear for winter I spotted these http://www.vivobarefoot.com/uk/mens/off-road-hi-mens-6.html. I have a couple of pairs of Vivo shoes that I'm happy with, not got these but they look interesting. No connection to the company, just a happy customer.

I'm thinking of getting one. Standard bushcrafty uses, sewing canvas and such. I don't want to pay the earth because it's not going to get a huge amount of use, but I don't want to waste my money on a cheapie that isn't up to the job. Any help or advice would be great.

Answer... When I've made it! I'm really not a fan of the scandi grind but I do like the silouettes. Here's a 4" edge quenched whittler made from a mower blade with a linen micarta bolster and dyed beech handle. The beech is dyed with shoe dye and is epoxied on and then held with a captive...

I have this pair of scales, 125x40x11mm to trade.NOW TRADED Looking for another type of wood, preferably scales but a block if you have it.

I'm a fan of Horace Kepharts book "Camping and Woodcraft" and I'd always meant to get around to making a knife to his design. I took a couple of liberties, slight aesthetic changes, and convex grind where I'm sure his would have been flat ground. So here it is 01 tool steel, 4" blade and I'm...

I haven't been making a whole lot lately as I've been so busy with non bushcrafty stuff but I did manage to finish up this nessie last week. It's 2mm thick convex ground 01 tool steel with beech scales and an antler inlay. I've got a Kephart on the go as well. Really looking forward...

I was working on a Kephart knife today and was pondering what to use for the scales. I've been using alot of beech lately and fancied a change. I was looking over my wood pile searching for inspiration when I spotted an "oak" board. It was an off-cut that my old boss gave me when he made a...

I haven't posted any of my work for a while now but this little one is quite bushcrafty so I thought I'd put it up. It's 01 tool steel with a bit of filework, blade is about 4". Beechwood handle with black fibre spacers and coathanger wire pins. I dyed the beech with shoe dye and rubbed it...

At this point I'm just guaging interest in a group buy of the Helle Lappland knife http://www.whitbyandco.co.uk/rangeview.cfm?parentitemid=269&rangeid=1030&keywords= I work in a hardware store and one of our suppliers have started stocking Helle. It's not the sort of product we would carry...

The weather's grotty and I couldn't be bothered to stray far today so I headed into the garage to work on a bow. It's hazel, 62" from nock to nock and 1 1/2" wide. The stave had 2" of natural deflex and has picked up a 1/2" more. It had been sitting, half finished for a year since I rescued...
