I looked at trade hawk but its a pipe hawk and that I'm not sure about. Seems like a lot of weakening to me.

Interested to see how you get on with the cold steel one as that was my original choice too.

Pipe hawks look cool but as you say not convinced on the strength

Yeah I am thinking the same, but........ I can get the Trail Hawk and the Svord form Heninne, at the same time...


Been wet forming my Sheath for my file knife tonight so got that to play with over the next few days, finished off the knife itself tonight... it different but I like it.. will post pic when its finished.. very plain with little shape

I am going to order mine tomorrow I think.. may get a small 1ltr Dutch oven as well, I want one any way.. , but that may have to wait....

new toys toy many wants.lol

You got a link to a small dutch oven? Always fancied one but all way too big for me. 1-2 litre would be a far better size.

Cheers

Yep pics of your file knife please.

That's on my list of things to do too, just finding the time

 

[Man of Tanith]

Some interesting stuff like the furniture ect. think better is available for your money, and I notice loads is made to order or out of stock, but thank you.

it was moe for the ideas

much better to make your own stuff - its more inkeeping with the period anyway

unless you can barter for the things you want

Love that setup. Missing a cooking pot for me. Maybe a few other bits. Love the leaves but that's taking it way too far for me

 

[Man of Tanith]

Aye its a level of commitment I'm not keen on either.

They look good mate, now its summer also good to use instead of a sleeping bag , I normally go blanket in the summer

 

[Man of Tanith]

Look good.
Blankets are great all yr round I find.
Even if used to supplement a sleeping bag
