Re: Winchester Knives
+1 for Ragweed forge. Ragnar is a very nice fellow and has always given me great service with the orders I've made with him. There are bigger Mora style knives on his site. Also, you could look at buying a blade from him and make your own knife. Warning : it's addictive though. The scandi knives (es...

Re: Where can I buy some pieces of Deer antlers?
Another place to try is knife shows. I've picked up some antler at the Melbourne knife show before. Makes great knife handles. Regards, Charlie.

Re: Bow Drill Success!!!

I can make fire from flint and steel (not the modern firesteel method - the OLD method) and while I'm no pro - I'm consistently getting sparks on the charcloth and then flame. The bow n drill is the ultimate challenge...
