This cool all weather Campcraft is a super comfortable and great for a wide range of bushcraft and woodcraft applications. This one is available now on the store. #campc...

Should work be this fun? Still pinch myself everyday I get to make cool stuff that travels the globe. plus what can be cooler than two Khukuris ? #khukuri #bushcraft #woodcraft #fun #worklifebalance
Pretty fancy Woodlander all dressed up and ready to go. This Ivory G10 is a great option for a total weather proof handle with the look of antler or bone. Certainly a good option for anyone wanting a knife for food preparation or canoe bushcraft trip. This one is available on the store now. #ivor...
Just added a few finished tools to the store, including this nice flat ground Campcraft this one has a nice @mummertknives clip to allow easy pocket carry options too. This one will make a great food preparation or general purpose tool. #campcraft #edc #generalpurpose #mummertclip #pocketcarry #b...
Well special post for me, one of the highlights of @thebushcraftshow for me was Lofty Wiseman coming over to say hello to Lois @craftlableather and myself at the stand. Plus we could finally show him the finished Khukuri design we had been working on. When someone asked if we could make this desi...
Special Pocket Woodlander that was made for a collection at the show last weekend. This came out really cool and so nice to be able to use such lovely materials to make custom tools for people. Cant beat some Vinland Damasteel from @damasteelab this one certainly had some unique features #damaste...
Couple of crazy handles colours I did for the show with some super snazzy micarta handles. The Provider was pretty epic with what was called Wasp Micarta and the 6 Steelhead almost had the look of Mackerel skin. I love these bright handles especially on food prep tools but what do you think, Do ...
Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone that came along to @thebushcraftshow at the weekend. We would have posted more content but the signal was not playing ball ! Heres some shots to prove we did get blue sky at some points and we had a great time including a meet up of the Ben Orford owne...
Fantastic first day at @thebushcraftshow yesterday. And all set up for another day today. Slightly rainy today but wont dampen the spirits of all these fabulous bushcraft enthusiasts who are having a great time in a fabulous location. Looking forward to seeing you all today. Plus Ray @raymears_w...
Some super cool @damasteelab Vinland Damasteel on this the very first Damasteel Provider! This one is coming along to @thebushcraftshow this weekend so we should have a good selection of woodcraft tools and food preparation tools too #provider #damasteel #damascus #patternweldedsteel #handcrafte...
Finished up this special numbered run of Masur Birch Woodlander 4 classics. This is the first time we have done a numbered run of Woodlanders so exciting to see who gets them. It will certainly make them more of a heirloom bushcraft companion for sure. These will be available at @thebushcraftshow...
