Hng on I thought Silverback is the winning bidder at £300? You've been outbid.

I said i've got to find more than £300 pound the draw date is a long way off yet its gonna go up by quite a bit still.

Well if you can find it the course with Forest Knights + The Stuart Mitchelle Blade + the axe and all the rest is worth a lot more on the average side of life.

I make knives, I do leatherwork, I know a fair amount about axes (thanks Old Jimbo + Mors) and I know Wayne and his reputation.

Despite all of my previously mentioned problems

I can honestly say this is a bargain, If I hadn't been made redundant I would of bid on it myself if only to go and see Wayne.

Hi Guys,

Ok I can't afford the bid, and as I am emigrating anyway, hmmmm, lol

So I was just about to stick this up for sale, when I noticed the post, so instead I would like to add to the pot...

1 x Ice King Combination Waterstone 1000 x 6000 Grit
1 x Ice King Waterstone 6000 Grit
1 x Ice King Waterstone 1200 Grit
1 x Ice King Waterstone 800 Grit
2 x Naguro Stones
1 x Rubber Foot Stone Holder Thingy

All are brand new, never used still in packaging. I mean whoever wins the knife and the axe etc, will need something to keep them sharp me thinks!

When the auction is finished could the winning bidder pm me so I can forward the details of the Bushcraft course.

I am amazed at the wonderful generosity of the good people on this site.

This thread says all we really need to know about the spirit of bushcraft.
People giving their time and skills freely for the benefit of others. :You_Rock_

Kudos to Hjaltlander for another major contribution to the prize fund (clearly as well as Wayne, John, Jon, Stu, Lawrence, "sc", Sean, Stuart f, Graham et al). Its great to see the bidder who understands the value of whats on offer here...

I am loving this thread. I know its been said before but wheres the rep button????.

Tony - can we invent a new "one off" rank for the contributors to this of "Bushcaft Gentleman" (seriously)

dam thats good. I was thinking the credit card could of stretch to £400 depending what I spent this weekend in Aviemore.

Hats off to Mr or Ms X :notworthy

And I'll throw in a 1952 Britsh (maybe Belgian) Army Jack Knife - one of the old black handled jobbies with a spike. You've got to have folder as well to open the beer bottles. It lightly use and takes a razor edge
