Thanks everyone! Great tips here, I'm going to try to check out as much as possible. I can't wait...

I found one in Scheveningen, that might be the one for me: http://www.beeldhouwwinkel.nl/beeldhouwen/houtbeeldhouwen_bijlen_graensfors_de_beeldhouwwinkel.html

I do feel a bit challenged now, actually........ :D

Just a quick question about the Eurostar: will customs confiscate any knife I have on me? I read something on their website about a £17.50 fee for "sporting and collectors’ weapons"... I always have a Swisstool Spirit on me, do you guys think I'd better leave it at home?

They're quarried at Vielsalm. Actually I went to that exact town last year, but I was unaware of what they have sitting in the ground there... Picked them up you say, really? You're talking about little chunks, right? Not slabs you can actually use for honing...

This is good stuff. Oh how I'm looking forward to it...

Thanks for the help, guys! I think I might go for a Small Forest Axe after all. Thijzzz, is there a shop in Den Haag or Amsterdam where they have GB? I might be going there in the near future...

I'm coming to London in a few weeks. Just a one week trip. Is there anything bushcrafty over there that I can't afford to miss? I'm talking about great shops or little museums or secrets that you can't find on the internet and stuff... Also, general recommendations (huge outdoor stores or...

I'm about to buy a Belgian coticule sharpening stone to razor-sharpen and polish my blades (a nice Finnish Harri Merimaa knife and some general kitchen knives). By saying this I'm kinda getting the cart before the horse, because I still need to buy me some coarser stones as well. I was...

I had a bad experience in a forest one night not too long ago, but it had nothing to do with zombies or bigfoot or other annoying nocturnal entities. It was all the fault of my companions. This is probably pretty much a tl;dr crappy English non-story, unlike some of the others posted here, but...

Hi Gunnix, thanks for that link! Willy Vanhoutte is a great name for a woodworker btw... (for anyone not in on the Dutch language thing: Vanhoutte is etymologically related to the word 'hout', which is Dutch for 'wood'). I'm thinking about what you said about the small forest axe... It's 300...

I found a brand new Ka-Bar in a store in Brussels. €50. Yay or nay? I've seen shops selling them for over €100...

Hi all, I'm building a hiking/camping/bushcraft kit and I would love to add a Gränsfors Wildlife axe to my gear. I've been scanning the internets for a few weeks now, to see if there are any stores in Belgium that sell these things. Up until now I have yet to come across such a place, so I...

Thanks, guys. John: spelling was almost right, you just forgot to put a 't' in Boitsfort. Actually, the way you spelled it makes more sense as 'boitsfort' refers to the forest ('bois' in French, and 'bos' in Dutch). I have no idea why they put the 't' in there at some point in history; but my...

I'm new here, so I figure I might say hi first, before I do anything else. Let me introduce. I grew up in a city in Flanders, Belgium. But I've always been drawn to the rural landscape, too. I love grasslands, dunes, forests, mountains. Recently I decided to spend more time in such places...
