    New 'bushcraft' ventile smocks on evilbay.....

    No connection to the guy, but anyone bought one of these? He looks to have four different designs on there at the moment, one wool lined and one of a thick grade of ventile. Interesting design. Looks well made. Anyone got one...

    I've been a busy bee!

    Here's a selection of sharp stuff I've made over the last 12 months. All users. The massive antler handled bowie doesn't see much use, I'm waiting for the revolution for that to come into it's own.

    L28 Ventile!!

    Hi everyone, I have the opportunity to purchase 4 M of military spec L28 nato green ventile (100cm width) for just over £20/M. I am pretty sure the very heaviest weight ventile which normally isn't available to the general public, this is a pretty good opportunity! However, I need to know...

    Filson Tin cloth shooting Jacket. XL.

    Hi All, I got this Filson shooting jacket for a complete steal on evil-bay for £60 posted. (Cost over £250 to get from America) It was such a bargain I took a punt at the sizing, because I am normally a large not an XL, and couldn't resist. Link here...

    New Damasteel bushcrafter I made.....

    Thought you might like to see my latest (3rd) knife I have made from scratch. After my first two, (a massive Bowie and the highland horn damascus camp knife), I decided to have a go with this damasteel stuff and make myself a bushcraft knife. It is using a 4mm piece of Odin's eye, 250mm long. It...

    My second knife!!

    Buckskin Trousers....

    Highland horn damascus?!?

    Hi all, anyone got any experience of their damascus - they do the 'AE' stuff which I understand is ok, but they also do an '01 and 1095' mix. This would be great, but I just wondered if anyone had any experience of it? Cheers, :)

    My Puronvarsi/antler scandi...

    Here are a few pics of my first go at a knife. It's a Puronvarsi carbon blade from Brisa, with antler, black fibre, and dark brown leather spacers. It's a ugly user for sure!

    Custom made Knife...

    Knife made for me by Savantuk on British Blades forum a few years ago. Has been a user not a ‘drawer queen’ so not in ‘perfect’ condition, but in good condition well cared for over the years (one small dent on the wooden handle – gained when splitting logs 3 years...

    Fallkniven H1 3G

    OK what do people think of the Fallkniven H1 3G. I think it is more bushcraft (probably) than the F1, as it has a scandi grind etc. Anyone got any experience of it - especially in the 3G steel? Cheers!

    Leather rucksack!

    OK so I am in love with Casstrom's reindeer leather rucksack: http://www.casstrom.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=26 But 450 pounds seems a little steep! Does anyone know of any alternatives?!? Cheers.

    Traditional kit...

    So anyone know where I can buy traditional inuit type clothing - i.e - reindeer coats/hats/gloves/boots etc? Every time I see Ray with the locals I drool over their traditional kit. I am currently making a scandi knife (not very well) but would like to try some other old school stuff!
