Home made kit

[Philr]

Just to let you Guys know that since joining and reading the numorous threads Ive been interested in making my own gear as thats about 90% of the fun for me the rest is testing it out adapting,altering and honing untill I have the final product as best I can get it, Being a Skin flint (Styg is my nickname at work) I love doing stuff on the cheap or adapting what ever I can find to suit.
Here (I hope the pics work) are my endeavors:- http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/7203/bushcraft001an9.jpg

All of which Im proud of, The Blade is a Helle at £8.50 made the handle out of Antler / Buffalo horn and brass.
The Fire piston (can't get it to work as yet) Buffalo horn (£1)
The Sheath V impressed as its my first attempt The leather I managed to borrow (long term) the stiching isnt very sraight but sewing has never been a strong point of mine but i will do better,
The close up is my signiture a greek pi for Phil (since found out that it should be a Phi still i've done it now.
Gotta do somthing about sleeping arangements next.

Of course you should make your own kit, why let somebody else have all the fun?

The knife looks brilliant! But I would write 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 instead of the pi sign..

But that would be wrong. It should be more like this:

I usually go to a few more decimal places when working out the diameter of a circle.

Exellent work Phil :You_Rock_
.I always considered making your own kit or parts of,as essential bushcraft.After all its like making a pot hanger out in the woods!
