Has anyone got any experience with these small carving knives from Proops Brothers? I'm trying to find out if they are worth the money for some whittling, chip carving or wood spirit work. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111878312083?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2661&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT many...

Chaps I'm looking for a good quality leather belt that won't break the bank and that I don't have to make myself. Are there any decent quality belts to be had on the internet or any makers that offer a functional belt at around the £25.00 mark. Suggestions very much appreciated.

Does anyone know of any rules and regulations on using a cast net in the UK? I used to use one working on a fish farm many years ago, they were great for emptying the small ponds, and I know small-ish ones are sold here for catching live bait for sea Angling. I want to make sure there are no...

I'm looking for fishing rod advice. I am lucky enough to live in Cornwall. A county surrounded on three sides by the sea, but I have never been sea fishing in my life. I grew up living right on the banks of the river Camel and so fished for Trout with a spinner and live bait from the age of...

Hiya I ordered a copy of this book by Preban Bang & Preben Dahlstrom through the library, and have been giving it a quick look over this morning. It looks like there may be an error or two in the labelling of a couple of the drawings in the book.(2006) issue. Anyone know of any errata...
