Well it's November, Christmas is just around the corner and I will be having some well earned time off. Not one to spend time off idlely, I will be looking forward to get back into the shed and putting my creativity into action.

I was looking for some 'tactical' sheath designs for inspiration for my next project.

and I came across this http://martinsheaths.blogspot.com/

Which has some really beautifully made sheaths with dramatic designs incorporating modern Kydex materials with the more organic leather.

Then I stumbled across this...

Bloody hells bells. "that's not a sheath, this is a sheath"

Wandering around Greenwich on Sunday, I encountered this chap http://www.mrpickles.co.uk who claims to sell "the hottest sauce in the UK". This claim is cleverly founded on the principle that (apparently) anything over 1,000,000 Scoville units has to be labelled as a "food additive" and not a sauce. So, he sells a 975,000 Scoville sauce.

And yes, it certainly was scorchio. I am told I maintained a fairly poker face but the guy I was with (Craster from Beex) went reddish, purplish, and then had violent hiccups for a few minutes.

This is still some few levels shy of the more nutty stuff Nick and Badger were eating though.

Ok lads, this quiz is an old one which I stumbled across while browsing the forums at britishblades.com

Where I will be posting images and updates of my ongoing knife projects. And field tests of my own projects eventually ;)

It's much much shorter than the previous one. Have a go if you have a spare hour: -

Thankyou's

Yet again the Foldmiester has done something....possibly uniques and quite charming. If your into BF (And you should be really) you will love it and even if your not it's still very satisfying
