Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

Jack -notice the blade twixt the stout Saxon hero of Sherwoods belt? wonder what that would have been like? Perfect for trimming goose feather to fletch an arrow or carving a steaming chunk of venison off one o' the Kings deer.

Aye, he's well kitted out for sure :) Though it must have been a bit nippy living in Sherwood Forest in Ye Olde t-shirt! :D
 
I've always thought 'Hood' would carry something more akin to this fella....


(Teaspoon for scale)

This hand-forged beauty is a great bacon* slicer....sucks at prepping veg though.

*Bacon was home cured and smoked. Knife handled by me in stabilised birch and birch bark spacers.

Good to see you eating well Jack ;)

Thanks mate, just been admiring that beauty in the other thread. No self-respecting outlaw should enter the forest without one! :D
 
A real beauty, Thom!! It really has a nice shape to it and the handle is wonderful. Birch ...creations perfection

If he has to try that hard to get her attention, he ought to find another maid.
Great bacon knife Scruff, and I covet the bacon too.
I think RH should have a Sheffield thwittel, whatever those looked like.

I used my Boker to trim down a hatchet wedge that I had left a little tall and raggedy. Mercifully still unscratched and back safe in its nylon pouch.

Thanks gents.



"Bacon is good for me!" ;D

The blade was forged by UK knife maker Dave Budd, a 'primitive' blacksmith.

SP - That's a nice hatchet pattern :thumbup:

Not at all Sjostygg; I used an off the shelf product, 'Laycock's Dry Bacon Cure' for about 7 days. Then rinsed and two days drying in muslin, before a 12 hour cold smoke in beech and oak wood.

We do our bacon 'raw' over here, so cures contain nitrites (& nitrates) to preserve the meat.
 
My Charlow helped me cut tape and bubble-wrap to parcel up a few goodies for other forum members ;)

 
I've been up since 6.00am, so decided to have a slightly early lunch. My Charlow assisted ;)

 
Loving Jacks food network, missing Stich. Heirloom tomatoes, roasted garlic, kalamatas and manchego. The Sheepfoot has become my favorite fork.
