    My metal detector pin pointer says the tang finishes 30-35mm before the end of the handle.

    It would be a labour of love to re-handle a ten dollar knife.

    I prefer to accept them as they are and just use them.

    As shepherds we used to hone our new sharpening steels down on a brick.

    I went to school with Jethro.
    Did you know that he invented the seed drill?

    The original agronomist, our friend Jethro. I named a wheat variety after him some years back. Tull. Unfortunately not a very successful cultivar but not bad germplasm.
