Crikey, it is small isn't it..... Quite sweet actually... What's it like in the Hand.?

( jeez.! If ever a sentence could be misconstrued! )
Very nice, especially if you squeeze it tight. ;)

TBH, it’s a 3 finger grip made very secure by the rough knurling which apparently can be used as a wood file. Feels scalpel-like in use. Whatever any reviews say to the contrary, there is a slight secondary bevel, at least there is on mine. It’s sold as a zero grind high scandi.

I'm not sure if i should be saying well done or sorry for initially tempting you :) I agree ref the scalpel esque feel to it.

I've been thinking about making a small 90 deg holed lanyard retainer to fit between the two main sections.

Did you buy it from panaceax.com in the US, or is there a UK distributor?

Whilst they say it's for government only, there are some places selling them in the UK atleast.

Bit the bullet on one of these

I used to fly all sorts of radio controlled model aircraft from gliders to helicopters, but gave up the hobby when i got to play with the real thing.

Now ahem years later, at a loss as to what to do each day to keep myself sane while i wait for surgery, i figured i would get a glider kit to build from scratch, should keep me busy for a while and something to aspire to flying again when i do eventually get my mobility back.

Somebody has put money in my account.

I do not know what I have done to deserve this; I live permanently in some fantasy now.

Anyhow; I bought a bottle of Irn-bru and some haggis.

Splashing money around like that doesn't sound very Scottish... ;)

I have invested in a monocular in hopes of actually seeing some of the birdlife that frequents our locale. Spent years and years failing to focus both eyes using binoculars, and the penny has finally dropped that taking a leaf out of Nelson's book may be the answer. We shall see. (Or not)

Yay, now you've got something to poke with your stick :)

It’s good to read your mad posts these days, I’ve been here a while and I remember a slightly lost Tengu a while back, you’ve done well.

Im not lost now; Ive found a Time period that suits me better.

(And family go `Cant you get a job closer to home?`)
