[John Fenna]

Very nice
It is good to see young folk making their own tools!

 

[Dannytsg]

Very nice work. Good to keep these crafts going

 

[juttle]

There's some good design work showing there. Those knives should serve their owners well for years!

 

[2trapper]

Very nice work! Which is the wood you used for the handle?

 

[brancho]

Thanks for the comments guys.

The hanldes are beech which was supplied free by one of the guys who helped me.

Robin thanks for the comment

be great to see all scout groups doing the same.

Well its down to the people who volunteer what each group does. some are not able to teach knife usage for other than cooking and some panick about that.

looks really good there Alf, also could resist checking all of your other knives out, they are sublime and I love to see people contributing to their community
Superb job
Yours sincerely Ruud

Junior is harassing me to become an explorer leader already. If he sees this
thread I'm in real trouble. I am fortunate enough to own an Alf Branch knife
too which he also has a beady eye on!
I may have to give in after the summer.
Cheers , Simon

what becoming a Scout Leader [be warned its addictive] or giving him you Alf Branch knife [ you#ll be even more sorrier]

 

[plastic-ninja]

There's no way he's getting that knife.

Which knife do you have?

 

[Grendel]

Great work. Sadly my explorers seem to of lost there bushcraft skills in favour of the easy life.

 

[SussexRob]

I'd love to do that with my unit, but never having made a knife myself, I'm in no position to teach others.

Grendel, my unit is split 50/50, as they tend to be with most activities we do. Some weeks motiivating them can be a real tough job, even when it is an activity they have been really keen to do!

I bought a lovely pukko from a member here to use as a necker. It has a
superb blade by Steen Nilssen and olive wood handle in a stunning sheath.
Imho the sheath alone is worth what I paid for the whole thing! Junior can
have it when I move on.I love it.
Cheers , Simon

It can be hard to motivate Explorers ans Scouts just keep at them.

Simon
It was one of THESE then I suppose I am surprised at that.
