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...

This one will make a great food preparation or general purpose tool. #campcraft #edc #generalpurpose #mummertclip #pocketcarry #b...

Plus we could finally show him the finished Khukuri design we had been working on. When someone asked if we could make this desi...

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...
