To be honest I've had it a while now but i haven't been able to post for a bit so i will write it as if i have just got it .. lol. Its really cool i got it off ray mear's is website, www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/580-Spoon-Knife-Big-Right-handed I wanted this particular one because i thought ,still do think its the best u can get, unless u have a friend that can forge one for you, but don't think of me as a snob just i think with tools, you get what you pay for . I want a tool for life if possible. Its amazing quality, razor sharp comes with a poly blade sheath and the blacksmiths initials on the handle.
I've made my first bowl with it its hard going if u want it deep, I'm learning very quickly that you do not want to rely on it for the roughing out, may sound stupid but i was naive to think you could make it do the work and it would take it just fine but sadly it seems to blunt quickly.
Its expensive but very nice to use but i must learn how to sharpen it lol. i finished the outside of the bowl using a belt sander, i no its cheating, i did the bulk work with a chisel and my knife, axe was to clumsy for the job.

Follow up on my bow
Finally got some arrows i know its cheating but i just couldn't be bothered with the hassle. I will be making some at some point.
It fired well for my first but then i put a nock in for the arrows to sit.
Now it only fires down lol ow well.
I'll make a new one, its all good fun.
But atm I'm really into wood working so trying to make a few box's etc and my dad wants to teach me rug making, dono how good it will be but I'm always up for learning a new craft.
