Flint Knife

For Christmas I got a Flint Knife Kit.

I seem to have an interest in knives in general, so a history of them needs my attention.

And here it is. Flint blade. Antler tine handle. And pitch glue fitting.

(Yes I have plasters, but honestly it's not from the knife 😳)

And a sheath of leather with sinew stitching.

Little projects

Pen and keyring kits

These usualy have turned wood barrels. But I don't have a lathe, so I improvised.

Meeting a Hero

Picture kind of says it all

😊 I MET RAY MEARS 😊

Another Axe Mask

My Wildlife hatchet needs a proper sheath as the original is not great. So here's my go at it.

Part cut and ready for the next step

Starting to take shape

And there we go.

I also decided to make an axe loop too to fit in ☺️

Leather Flask

Right. I've made a mini tankard. It's time I made a flask to keep the whisky in :)

Leather cut and sewn

The leather is then wet formed and packed out to form the shape

Here it is all waxed and water tight

Nice little project if a little messy to wax.

Mini Tankard

Just a little project to test some leather skills.

I decided to make a leather tankard, but a mini one as I didn't have the leather to make a larger one. Makes a nice little tot tankard

Enzo Necker

At the Bushcraft Show last year I picked up a Necker kit from English Handmade Knives. Great little blade and a great buy, IMHO



I was not sure if to keep the G10 but though it would be worth a try. Here's what it looks like now.

Axe Mask

At last years Bushcraft Show I made an axe. Well it needs a mask to protect it and me and none of the standard ones are going to fit (its a one off  ) and it felt right to make one as I made the axe.

Done a couple of knife sheaths in the past so set too on googling axe mask options. Its fairly conventional but I like it. I love the double row of stitching, like the look. I'm not the biggest fan of sewing so it was an effort of will to put two rows in
