Thurin, what language is that that you're working with?
Also, I had no idea there was such a thing as Whittling Magazine. What's it like?
Sweet score there dhun.
bear71: thanks for sharing! That's quite the collection you have.
Have I mentioned that I really like CPM S35VN in my environment

One of the perks of always being on the move is that everything you accumulate is either with you or catches up to you soon. One pf the drawbacks of always travelling is that you never get to take stuff home - double-edged sword! So after being away for a few months, the picture below shows what I currently have in my suitcase after purchases, trades, collecting stuff I had on hold and being reunited with old friends! There are worse things to have in your suitcase but it plays havoc with my checked luggage weight allowance. There are a few more in the mix/en route/at spa but until they're in the Samsonite they don't count!

Cool picture, Mist!
I ended up selling mine since I have the handmade Bushfinger now, and I've been spending a little too much lately, but I think I'll probably end up with another one at some point.
You have a great eye for interesting compositions Brian. I am always blown away by your photography skills. The knife looks like it is holding up very well to all of your tests.

Thanks man. I really wish I would have had the resources to snag one of the hand made Bushfingers in S35VN, but it was a tough time for me. Being as I live in a temperate rain forest, and head to the coast every chance I get, this may be the closest I get, as there were very few made. I can't wait for the mid tech Hiking Buddy to come out. I want a couple of those, one for me and one for my daughter. I sort of watch her closely with the hand made Hiking Buddy I bought her, but i could be more relaxed about her learning curve with a mid tech model. I want one for me, just because I love the steel.
I definitely want to try out the production Hiking Buddy once they're available. I really like the size and blade shape of the Hiking Buddy.
