What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky

I know I shouldnt post it.. but I cant help it, because Ive been chasing one for so long, - Ive just ordered and paid for a TRC Mille Cuori Outdoors Knife. Expecting delivery by the weekend. They say everything comes to he who waits but its so easy to lose faith, especially after the days, months, year Etc roll by. NEVER GIVE UP!!
Silky Big Boy Outback from Woodlore.
Enjoyed the irony of having to provide a photo of my driver's license to prove that I am old enough to buy bladed implements. Last time I bought a bladed implement from them was March 2003, when I bought my GB SFA and paid to attend one of their courses.

A bit over £400 , yes a lot of money at the mo under the present situation but to be fair I've paid a lot more for what I wanted. At the End of the day you cant take it with you can you?? And I find Knives and Tools usually come up with the goods.
Nice knife. I have long like the look of the stuff that TRC makes.
Nearly bought the Silky last winter when I needed to cut in a tight spot, but ended up using a fixed handle Japanese saw. Been fancying something between the Laplander and a 24 inch bow saw ever since. Never used a Silky before but they sound good.
I don't trust my poor sense of balance in the total darkness of a power failure to get me down 2 flights of stairs to start the solar power system (upstairs power points).
So I ordered a pair of coal-oil/kerosene/lamp oil, glass wick lamps and the suitable fuel. I'll keep a AA x LED light with me, just to get as far as the lamps. The hilarious point at the moment is that I'm not certain that I can find a match to light the dang things!
Where' going to be the best places to keep them? Kitchen?

Didn't buy today came today, My first alcohol stove.
Collected from the Post Office yesterday. Some leather work I asked dougster on this forum to do for me. Knife is a 3mm woodlore clone that I sent to Richard for sizing.
Exactly what I was after on both pieces. Lovely fit and finish and I'm one very happy Ewok.
Cheers

From the charity shop(again)
A set of old marples woodcarving tools. They were going to throw them away as they can't sell bladed stuff.
I also got a tin of victorian buttons in a victorian tin, some sewing machine needles, and a pair of folding scissors, a bit of tatted lace trim, and a few other sewing bits, a needle for my record player. (They had no idea what it was!) All put in the chuck it box. A fiver the lot.
The wood tools need some tlc, as they are rusty and blunt, but easy enough to bring back into shape.
I reckon the tin alone is worth a fiver as it's in excellent condition.

A new fly, for my fly fishing set up.
A beautiful green mayfly .

Took a trip to Windsor today to lay some flowers for Her Majesty and afterwards decided to call into some charity shops. Found a 1918 dated prismatic compass with a 1929 dated leather case in lovely condition for the extortionate price of £15!! I've been after one for a while.
Have had my late grandfathers 1st WW army one in its mint leather pouch since a boy. Still use it sometimes, and a lot when I went OB
A Clipper mini lighter from Asda (smoker ... ahem and forgot my lighter). Didn't know they did them. Similar in size to the mini Bics but refillable and has the flint mechanism that can be removed if need be as an emergency lighter source.
Ordered a couple of distress whistles, one to worn at all times, the other to go on my rucksack.
