Thanks Pete :D



It was very nice eating them, just cooked, on the banks of the majestic River Wharfe a couple of weeks ago, before Spring came and we got heavy snow! :eek:



Kinda making me hungry myself! :D

Lovely knives/chips! Dunno about you but I'm a bit bored of our weather now!
 
Traditional sunday crafts,
The spoon is almost finished, a little more knife work and I don't know if sand it or not.
In the pics are the starting point, the finished product and the tools used:
-crappy but well sharpened axe
-Scandi knife with self made handle
-frost mora crooked knife
-GEC 62 whittler

Happy Sunday

Morning Jack. She is a beauty. The first time I saw Schrade Wostenholm....I thought is was a typo

Thanks pal. I'm not surprised, nice knife but from the murky end of Sheffield cutlery, blades were made by Camillus I believe, and they don't get a mention at all.

Reminded me to listen to a little John Coltrane

Always a good thing to do, but particularly on a Sunday morning :)

Lovely knives/chips! Dunno about you but I'm a bit bored of our weather now!

Thanks! :) The chips WERE good :) Yes, I know what you mean, all kind of out of sync. I remember wearing a short-sleeved shirt this time last year.

Traditional sunday crafts,
The spoon is almost finished, a little more knife work and I don't know if sand it or not.

Great job Mateo. Personally, I think it looks sweet just the way it is :)
 
ArrowHeadBeads_zps9502a333.jpg

The arrowhead is several hundred years old, maybe over 1000!
The beads are 3-4,000 years old. These were confirmed by a qualified professor in the Anthropology department at the University of BC. All were found in British Columbia near places I have lived. My wife found the arrowhead, still as sharp as a knife, while digging for a garden on Denman Island. I and other friends excavated most of the beads from middens, before digging was banned in those middens.
The Arrow is Comox, the beads Coast Salish - different bands.
 
Nice work on the spoon, Mateo! I aspire to make a few myself - soon!
 
With the restrictive UK knife laws, this big old thing doesn't see as much pocket time as it did when I first got it 30 years ago, but thought I'd post a kitchen table pic here :)

That's a beauty Jack!
 
What a rare and wonderful find, Charllie! Thank you so much for sharing. I bet B.C. was a magnificent place to live
 
Seems like I can't decide on which Traditional's Forum knife to carry, right now it's between the '08 Northwoods medium stockman, '09 Queen/S&M Barlow or the '12 GEC wharncliff trapper.

So today is the GEC trapper.

Happy easter sunday folks. Here is my first Birch bark handle and my first sheath of this style. My reference is all in Swedish so I'm not 100% on the origins of this style of capped sheath or whether it has a specific name, maybe someone will know. These were worn as a belt knife but I thought I'd make the thong longer for a neck knife.
The sheath is oil tanned leather covering a wooden sheath, the cap slides through slots in the side of the cap and the top of the actual sheath. The blade is a Lauri 95mmx20mm.

Best regards

Robin
