Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I have 5 axes and my Grandad is giving me another soon and then i have 1 broken Mora and one new one. And i also have a Swis Army knife, and a Lamb Foot farmers knife and then theres my draw knife too
I have just gone through my collection and I have about 6 fixed blades: boot knive, bowie, meat cleaver, a forged one, and some others. I have well over 20 foldings though and I intend to sell some to Scouts in my troop. Looking at my knives, only a few are of camp quality. Most are switchblades and balisongs(butterfly) or just cheap folders. But I do have a nice Buck knife I got fpr my birthday last year. We have a few hatchets and an axe in the garage.
Just 5 axes and 1 to come? Poor man...still, I suspect time will sort that out Jon!
With your wood work I home there's a side axe and a froe in there?

Yes, there are a couple broadaxes, hewing hatchets, and adzes on hand. And a large and a small froe, including a knife froe or basket makers froe.
And my "round to-it" list of things to make has several Block Knives on the list - right below a couple more bowl adzes. And then I have to make some more Viking era wood working tools (from the Mastermyr Tool Chest), and another set of the blacksmithing tools. And then there's .... and .... more .... and ... aaaarrrrgggghhhh! I gotta stop looking at that Round TO-IT list. Every time I look at it I add stuff faster than I finish making things.
Must be time for some "chocolate" therapy -- or a wee dram or three ...

This could get scary?
COULD?
Tis well past that for some of us poor souls. Just wait till SWMBO finds out! Oh, wait ... that was a past life. Now it's wait till the Banker finds out!
Oh, woe is I ... this addiction has a firm hold on me.
It's sharp ... gotta have it!

p.s. I forged up an early 1700's trade axe, and two trade knife blades yesterday - to FEED my addiction! Must be time for more "therapy" - a wee dram or three should help.

I have one frost knife that i got from here.
a crook knife
and an old survival knife with a hollow handle with saw wire and fishing gear inside it, i use it for the fire steel as the edge is ruined anyway.
Onto some bigger stuff, i have 2 katana swords, a twin sword, and a Highlander samurai sowrd replica, and a Replica from the movie "blade" ( the replicas are quality steel, not plastic)

1 fixed blade, 1 folder, 1 axe. I'm quite glad I don't find them as fascinating as some of you lot.
