I did too, but seller wanted to keep it. Not surprised really. The smaller axe carves really well

He said they should all be delivered by the 20th. So fingers crossed you get yours soon.Aarrrgh, mine still hasn't arrived !!!!!
I'm airing the issue mosquito net before putting g the BCBcamp bed away.
Had a good shopping trip today, picked up a new Molle belt thing in a charity shop for £3.99
You can get them for 11 quid on Amazon but looks well enough made. I may use it as utility apron while in camp.
Ignore the group top right that's just new stuff bought in a hardware shop for work on the house. Anyroad we hit Mike's tool stall in Colne and herself got a new Opinel saftey/ kids knife for reasons unknown but probably to do with eating. She has a perfectly good No12, but I suppose its a bit big for cutting cheese and buttering bread I suppose. I also got her a rather nice Rodgers stainless steel pruning knife and saw for a fiver, a proper Sheffield made one. Blades loo, perfect but then.astic scales need scratches polishing out.
I blew 15 on a MiB Marples improved beechwood mitre box, still has the old money price written on the box.
A couple of ratchet screwdrivers to go with the box of Bahco 8mm hex bits cost me 2 quid a pop and a Cintrand hand sander with a part used plate and two new plates was a quid, as was the minty Rabone Chesterman 6 inch ruler. Theres a bit of rust on the angle grinder wire brush nut but otherwise it's as new, should be useful for removing scale when the lad starts using his welding and forging gear. Last thing I got is the slightly strange orange handled knife which I think is for taking bird carcases apart, it not been used and the saw teeth are rather evil but not very strong looking. I think the split end is for popping joints apart but I'd love to know what it's really meant for.
On the way I picked up a coup,e more of the brass zipped cotton bags for a quid for two, I've found them very handy. I was given the wooden plate, yptherex a couple of cracks but a squirt of superglue and rapid light cla ping before I refinish ut should sort them out. I think it's oak.
When we got home they had delivered the Helikon Tex E and E pouch, they are currently on offer on Amazon, still pretty dear but I've a use for it. Need to rig a shoulder strap for it.

Joker Nessmuk CN136 Anniversary Edition
Joker Nessmuk CN136 Anniversary Edition
Had a bit of a spree this week.
Got a Fancy Feast Stove from Madriverrob on Gift-It-On thread
And bought a DD Hammocks Pyramid Tent from Ebay
And a GoLite Speedpack from Ebay - Not stealthy but is comfy.

I'm impressed. I like the Nessmuk pattern and have a few already, so I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted. It's nicely finished but I did touch up the blade and gave the wood some walnut oil. The sheath is very well made. It cost me £76 but since ordering I found it's available from UK based Cyclaire for £89. Frankly I think it's damn good value, 14C28N is a good steel and the walnut is very pretty.
...and if anyone's wondering: the anniversary edition has a high sabre grind rather than a scandi grind.
Thanks for the comments, I have been watching Cyclaire and hovering over the " yes please" button.
Just pressed the yes button on the Anniversary Edition
£ 75.38 shipped to NI from Spain.
Kadushu.... How long did yours take to arrive.?

Fantastic.
Went for the Anniversary Edition as I reckon the sabre grind is better for food prep, and to be honest, that will probably be its biggest use.

ten days ago i transferred the money and today i picked it up at the post office (about two months of exchanging emails with the country's only dealer and some hassle later -- not the dealer's fault as his customer service was to my satisfaction!): a new "silky" 130mms pocketboy to replace its bitterly missed predecessor (which i lost about 3years ago during an armed robbery in nicaragua...) -- #1 was medium teeth(=black handle), this time i opted for fine teeth (=blue handle) which should be better suited for bamboo and the local hardwoods
i treated myself to it despite the fact that shipping and import meant about 2.5 times the price i paid for #1 in Japan to celebrate the fact that i recently managed to get my paperwork sorted and obtain citizenship
my next goal will be a replacement for the also-lost Leatherman "supertool"
