Got to do some carving today on the spoon. It's more than my noggin can
handle, requiring more fine motor than I have, but I'm optimistic the bowl
carving will work. Still, working with the wildlife hatchet is a real
pleasure. Waiting on the Silky saw to swim over from Japan, then I can saw

I'm kind of excited to try a wood mess kit like sailors in the days of
old. I'd like to weigh my titanium kit (just cup, bowl, plate) and my wood
kit (same) to see the difference. I expect it wouldn't be a deal-breaker.
Advantages of wood: much more thermal than single wall Ti, doesn't make
Hey Patrick, I hope inspiration does not lead to frustration! We have a
motto on my team: If it were easy, it wouldn't be hard! We say it to
refer to doing things that are worthy of love, practice, and effort and to
reflect the mindframe that we can all get better at things. Lord knows, I
Och! Frustration isn't a bad thing, it's a warning light of too much brain

graduate that class, I'll go from there.

Hey Liesl -- For those of us who don't read Norwegian (am I alone here??),
do you know of any site that carries the Killi products in English? Also,
it looks as though the beautiful Celtic work on the cup in your photo was
done by YOU, right? So to get such a magic cup, I would have to learn

Reid, I do not speak or read English, but I have the great fortune of
having a colleague on my team who does! At any rate, I don't think I've
found an English Killi website. The good thing is that Norwegian is
sometimes so close to English as to inspire giggles. 'Turkopps,' which is

The truth of the matter is that I do, in fact, read and speak English; it's
Norwegian that I don't.

Wildlife Hatchet arrived today, though it almost didn't make it out my
wife's hands. Wow! This feels GOD! My hand just melts into it! I

Already started carving out a baby spoon for a lilac branch that has
annoyed me too long. No longer! Grin. Once the Silky Saw arrives, I'll

Beautiful, Liesl! Your skill is inspiring and I suspect may lead to
frustration as I attempt to do something equally ornate. I know knife
carving is too intricate for my brain capacity (fine motor skills are very
taxing on my brain energy), but the hatchet may right at the ballence point

Just sprung for a GB Wildlife hatchet, mostly for bowl carving and for

I've been pondering the concept of a full-sized axe, not some mini hatchet, but
a large axe, the bigger the better. I'm sure I could rig an elegant top-tube

sure its purpose will become evident.

I had that same hatchet, and traded up to one of the small axes for car

What make is the knife?
