Hi all, I own an Enzo trapper (SS, self build). I like the overall feel and ergonomics and it is a very good quality knife. But I think the Scandi grind is too abrupt (especially near the tip) and I want something a bit lighter that can be carried around the neck and also Baldric style. In...

Hi all. I am looking for a general bag to cover a few basics. I am still not exactly sure what type of bag I need but any help or ideas is appreciated. I will just list my requirements and see what you all think. :confused: Main uses: - Work. Teacher. I take in food, water bottle, diary...

Hi all. I am not technically new to the forum but I would like to introduce myself as a newbie. For many reasons I have decided to develop some form of bushcraft and I am putting out the feelers. I have always been interested in being outdoors and remember my brother's original copy of the SAS...

Hi all. I had a birthday last week and was spoilt. Leatherman wave and a GBwildlife hatchet. I can't stop using them both. I have attached a link to a slideshow showing what I have done with the hatchet. I love the thing. It should make sense. I have made a stool with the help of a few other...

Hi all. I am thinking of branching out from carving wonky spoons to trying a bit of green woodwork. I can't seem to register on the Bodgers website but was hoping someone here could help. Basically, I can't afford a course at the moment but are there clubs or demonstrations about that might...

I have access to some freshly cut wood. A little bit of birch and sycamore which will be used for spoons and carving and the log pile. There is a fair bit of willow. In fact, quite a lot with some logs about 4 ft long and 1ft wide. I hear willow is a good carver and I want to try using the...

Hi all, I am looking for a big knife for light chopping and use on meat. I have owned a martindale golok but found it too big and I wanted to be able to use the edge to cut and not just whack. I did love using the thing however, even if it was clumsy. I reckon 8-9" of blade and a decent...

Hi all, Can't seem to find a definitive answer on blade profiles for my hatchet. I have 2 axes: AJ Finlay large axe (SFA size) and an argos hatchet (which has taken loads of filing to get and edge). The Finlay axe has a very slim profile and is very nice for the light tasks I give it. I...

Hi all, I am on the lookout for a small hatchet. I will use it for limbing small branches, chopping kindling and carving spoons etc. I currently own an Aldi cheapo hatchet and an AJ Finlay large Axe (SFA size). Both of which are good. I want something lighter that is no more than 12" (ish)...

Hi all, I bought a maserin Colt Caccia and ti has just arrived. I am a little bit dissapointed because the blade wobbles. I had expected a better finish really. Is it possible to squeeze it in the vice and sort the problem or should I return it? I was really looking forward to this knife to...

I am thinking willow or Beech, maybe sweet chestnut. Beech trees keep their leaves though and this hasn't. I have carved a piece and it was very nice which makes me think willow.

Hi there, i have been getting into the carving (slowly) I have a bit of willow in my garden which came down in the snow. I want to carve it into a bow drill set. I know it has to be dry so should I leave it a year in smaller pieces to be carved later? Or should I fully carve it now and wait a...
