The elite has a few extra grits and a leather strop for fine finishing.

Perfect for smaller blades. Kitchen knives etc. No good for axes. I use a Gransfors Puck for that task.

I am still more than happy with my WorkSharp Precision Adjust Elite setup. Hair splittingly sharp. Edit: and idiot proof.

Lovely Stig. Do you have any idea on the age? The older parts of Oslo have some amazing Lime pollards (Linden), as do a lot of the embassy buildings.

Same here. I don’t like working much in the snow but I have done it hundreds of times. I’d like to know where this thought comes from as April fools was a few weeks ago.

Really? Never heard that before. I’d better let every logger and arborist in Scandinavia know.! 😜

I think it a case of the attitude I see a lot of. They have always done it that way and they know best.

On a serious note. I have a friend who has been an electrician for 35 years. He moved here about 10 years ago. He came round to fix a couple of things for us and commented that the system in Norway is possibly the worst he has encountered. Especially compared to UK and Ireland. In fact...

I can almost guarantee. Compared to Russia, it will be twice as likely to break but cost twice as much to fix.

We woke up to a bit of snow as well today.

Turned up this afternoon to rig out a large Birch tree or speed line. About a quarter of the way up there was a cavity. Stuck the silky in there and about 10 inches went in. Didn’t fancy rigging it as I was a bit knackered from the three trees that morning. Originally they wanted to straight...

Some great fights. I didn’t get to watch it live but looked pretty good from the highlights I watched this morning.

Possibley. I usually just watch the results and highlights the day after. The time difference makes it tricky.

I am after a Swiss movement watch at the moment. Almost got a 2nd hand Tudor Dive watch but missed out. I think I will get a hand built watch from a British company Elliot Brown. Built to pay for the UK SF...

The annoying thing for me is, I have as much of a penchant for watches as I have for knives. GShocks in particular. I like the designs of them and they are rugged and tested for work. I have about 8 of them. I also love some of the classics, I find myself watching watch restoration videos on...

Please stop posting pictures of these new knives! I haven’t bought any for a while as I have been trying my hardest to resist the urge. Now you have gone and done it, I think I need a trip back to KA. Knives Anonymous!

The originals from Petzl were shit. Can’t really imagine the knockoffs are much better/
