It's brilliant to watch your journey, as you develop and grow as a craftsman and a buisness.
Staniforths. Sheffield knife makers, with a lot of history and tradition.
Chris Caine. One of the top survival instructors, in the country. The man is the real deal.
Beneath the stars leathercraft. The finest, most bespoke leatherwork.
A match made in heaven.
All the luck in the world to you mate. Well done.

Glad you had a great trip, and you and the family having fun. Round here and all over the place trees are down due to wet saturated ground and high winds, been really bad through the south and most of the country overall. Been fun watch the vids too, keep them up Glad it's looking up as well for you all.
