Pic please, I'm fascinated to see it.

I've done a flint knife. And forged a knife. Casting is on my love to do list

I am trying but either you get the link to my flickr photostream or a little image logo which is daft as I have had no problem before.

Very nice, I especially like the "carver" in the middle, makes me think of Sunday roast. Do you use them or are they show pieces Boatman?

Use them, the flint knife is my wife's favourite for preparing nettles for string. The early copper alloy will take a good edge as will the other bronze and I mostly just cut sinew etc with them but don't try any woodcarving. The early iron knife is used just like any sheath knife and is the one I wear when in IA kit.
