What did you buy today?

A digi camera from the bay. Significant upgrade on my now defunct previous camera, for less money. Can't argue with that.
Nothing....
But the pull of a rather fetching spyderco is almost too much to bear
not caved in, and gone for the Native yet then? lol

you know you want it..... lol
Bought an Opinel #8. Got it in France so cheaper than I could see from a cursory Internet search in the UK (about £8). Very stiff to open but seems sharp enough & I've always liked their honest functionality
stick it on a radiator for an hour or so, it will dry out and loosen up a lot
the traditional way to open these is to hold it between finger and thumb by the metal end with the closed blade facing down, then sharply tap the other end of the handle ( the swell / ramp bit just by the blade tip ) on a hard surface ( use the heel of your shoe to look cool ) this will expose the blade enough to get a good grip on it.
hope that helps

Lock it off and then run the last 35mm (tip) of the spine down the belt grinder to give it a lovely drop point profile
Thanks, guys, tried that tip Robbi & it works a treat, very cool.
Hadn't noticed it's more of a Bowie profile blade but don't think I'll drop the point just yet - excuse the pun but I can't see the point?

got one of these items a few days ago for £6 at a local shop as it does not have the wire handle...http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/s.../classic-enamel-billy-can-tea-can-314044.html dont know why I just could not resist.
think a brake cable handle will be fitted soon enough.

I accidentally purchased a new axe I didn't mean too honest
I was at the European Woodworking Show at Cressing barns (Near Braintree, Essex)
Lots of nice things going on, but there was a guy doing axe displays. And next door they were selling Gransfor Bruks axes.
They were just calling out to me, I couldn't decide between 2 of them. I thought I was free, but the resident expert was called in to help me decide
So I've come away with the Scandinavian Forest Axe, and managed to get the price down to
£55
