Was it made to your specs or one that was 'in stock'?I ordered this a fair while ago now, but I have received it today so I think it still counts!

I've wanted one for a long time and I am absolutely chuffed to bits with it. Maple burl scales and AEB-L steel.
Came shaving sharp. Well worth the wait.

I have something similar but dutch navy mittens. Have made a harness to carry them around my neck so that when I have to do something that needs all fingers I can just take the mittens off and the hang at my side without getting lost with the wind. Learned this from the polar expeditions; for them a lost mitten meant risk of frostbite to fingers. For me it´s more of a convenience thing.
Thank you, that's really interesting. I've been wondering how I could attach them to myself so I could remove a mitten and not worry about losing it. Do you run the straps down the sleeve of your coat?I have something similar but dutch navy mittens.

We used to do that with our mittens back in the 70's so we didn't lose them.I have something similar but dutch navy mittens.

I did see these too.Hestra do an elasticated wrist cuff to achieve the same aim. More comfortable and convenient than a string through your coat sleeves in my experience.
String is probably still best for small kids though!
