    Latest couple of projects just in time for Christmas. Shout out to Ross Nolan on the forum for pohutakawa handle scales really enjoyed working with it. First couple of pouches I have made too, unfortunately put the blades back in sheaths to soon and developed some minor rust spots, cleaned up pretty good though. Name:  IMG_7122.jpeg

    Hmmmm I seem to remember something from an evening in Wairoa a decade ago.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Magnacut is good.
