I think that I am not the only one that is very much looking forward to some hiking/bushcrafting/adventure/.. In that spirit, and while browsing locations -I came upon this site. Basically Google maps with all kinds of adjustable nifty layers (temperature/wind/snow conditions/web-cams)...

Not sure wether to post this in the food section or here. Found an interesting story on Slate, particularly the treatment of its somewhat nasty side-effects :cool...

Clear your inbox, mate - I's full and I have some sharp news for you ;) -Emile

Maybe some of you can help. For a project, I am after a couple of KJ/Eriksson classic red handled knives, model #1 or (preferably) #2 in plain carbon. I inspected several at a hardware store in Sweden and the new ones seem to have lost the rivet at the back, making them effectively a bit less...

My neighbour asked if I was interested in a stem of garden conifer for the fireplace. You know - those itchy bushes and trees from the Mediterranean. Never one to turn burning stuff down, I gladly accepted. It was the remainder of an older tree that serviced the last part of its dead career as...

Last Friday - the mailman had a very pleasant surprise for me: (Shown right) Before I got hooked on the SBT - I really was into small knives for bushcraft. I mean small blades somewhere in the 3' range. The way they handle and maneuver, the weight, balance and the fact that they just...

I finally got around to finishing this one. I gave his Lordship a drawing and he came up with a spot on 3mm O1 puukko'ish bushcrafter. He added a nice patina etch to it too. I wanted to try for a sort-of medieval look and choose Masur Birch for the scales. The handle is what you would find...

Amazing research result: Dolphins give each other names -Emile

On my quick forest-hike last Saturday, I encountered a creature that I have been frantically looking for. I always admired these silent hunters. We knew from their sound that there was at least one of these pretty birds around and my girlfriend even spotted it on one evening. I sure hope that...

I recently finished a knife with parts of Reindeer antler in the handle, I was surprised about the toughness and density of this material. So I got an idea. I did a little experimentation and found out that a small piece of reindeer antler is a perfect block for the bow drill set. I got no...

Last week on an evening hike nearby I found a Fox den with welps. In total I counted 4 welps. I contacted Rene Nauta of Extra Survival about the find because I thought he might be interested in taking some photographs for the quarterly newsletter. He was, we decided on a stakeout and were not...

I just finished a neck-sheath with firesteel option for my WS woodlore. After stiching up the sheath I needed my firesteel to see how well the end result did fit. My bushcraft kit is carried in a backpack and stored in my basement. We do have a bit of a humidity problem there, but nothing too...

I received this knife a week or so ago but did not get to post a review, busy studying for the hunting exam (it went fine). The communication with Allan was stellar. I ordered this piece a coupe of months ago, before Allan had to take some time off from the shop. He always kept me informed on...

Well, this is my second hidden tang/puukko: Side view: Top view: I wanted to create a comfortable working knife with a big, comfortable handle. I used for this one reindeer horn, stacked leather and red spacers. The leather is impregnated with lineseed oil and some floor wax I dug...

Ok, call me weak, but last week I ordered a micarta version of the Woodlore knife from 'the source'. I am very fond of my original original alan wood version, but as I wrote in a review, the scales did not quite fit me and this prevented me from taking this expensive knife with me on trips. I...

I received my Allan Blade Field Puukko today. I ordered this one a while ago when he announced this line of affordable (less than 50$) blades. He are my first impressions: The Field Puukko has a nice thin blade with a perfect flat grind. There is a very tiny secondary edge, but it is...

I browsed my favorite knife-parts supplier brisa and saw that they have now listed an outdoors section. The items advertised there are firesteels for 7 euro a piece. The lowest price I have seen so far. I do not know if this was posted before, but I thought you might wanted to know this...

Back from the trip to our cabin in Austria. I took my new OSF, the Woodlore and my Eklund knife to get a feel of the differences and similarities. With 2 small children there are other entertainment priorities, but I did get to use the knives on several small projects. I made several pictures...
