    Oh Dear Oh Dear........Oh effing Dear!. PC Crap, or Lawyers legalise?

    As a side interest, having an interest in the Maori Land Wars, being relocated to "Wanganui without an H", re-enacting the 65 th Regiment of Foot, general interest, curiousity and also combating the rewriting of New Zealand History solely to suite the Show Ponys application to access the UN trough, I acquired one of these.

    NOT, I hasten to say via Amazon, but from a Jaffasville supplier.

    "BUY New Zealand"

    In my case, a New Zealand maker and also a New Zealand retailer. Anyway, if you are still with me I move to the purpose of this post, which is to ridicule the this entry on the Amazon web site which you will encounter should you scroll down the site.

    Few old projects out the the box and into the fire today. Couple of petty/utility kitchen knives, a small game skinner(actually the first knife I ever profiled just never finished it as I fucked up the grind, managed to salvage it today with a bit of draw filing) and a camp nessimuk to go with my cbk as a pair.

    Want a rustic/aged timber finish handle for the muk, any ideas? Thinking I maybe recycle some old tool handles or somthing

    Finished the little utility kitchen knife up today. More a practice piece than anything, wanted to try a hidden tang. Turned out OK but a bit plain. Should have left some forge scale on for interest.

    Cuts pretty good...

    @Nick-D I wouldn't call that plain, nice clean lines looks very appealing to me.

    Looks cool. What's the wood? Coconut palm?
    Bit of mustard forced patina or a couple of years use for character

    No idea man, mystery timber that a mate gave to me. Can't order any fresh supplies so scrabbling around with what I have on hand. Oiled with deck and furniture oil haha

    It's 1095 so will patina up pretty quick. Already taken o. Some character from that chopping session
