Inland taipan?

The birds left soon after they got all the fish. They did you say there's a drain running into it? If something cameout the drain that killed the fish they would be gobbled up pretty quick by birds and turtles, which have a larger body mass so wouldn't be affected so bad by the poisonous stuff...

A similar thing happened to a pond at a family friends house, it turned out to be birds. I think ospreys specifically, the fish were gone in a matter of months.

That's a nice knife, hunting elk with it though? Sounds a little dangerous. I should go over to Sweden to do some hunting, there aren't many boar here.

Those are awesome, what are the specs?

I like that banksia but what are the blue bits? The holes are usually full of black stuff.

None of this matters to you anyway because you aren't allowed them because they are far too scary. You could have an OTF bottle opener if you wanted. I think it is '68 they were banned here. I'm not trying to be rude, just go and not get arrested, it makes it tougher for everyone here.

I once made a harpoon tip from a piece of sheep bone. I was around 8 I think.

The 14C28N has arrived but I haven't had a chance to start it yet. I am still removing scratches from the TD blade so it can be heat treated. I think next time I'm going to buy it ground so there is no scale either, it isn't too bad but it is extra hassle. I'm eating through sandpaper right now...

You are getting mixed with the Scottish law. Basically without a license in Scotland you can sell only domestic knives. Which are basically food prep or gardening knives. It only covers Scotland because apparently any other knife is a weapon.

Can I go in with 897?

That's the idea. The guy who ordered the knife is a cousin of some sort so he will be testing the knife out for me. I will be getting a good outside opinion.

Sicilian767 thought of naming the knives after local tribes, the closest tribe to me were the Picts so that's where it came from. The blue wasn't tattoos I don't believe but war paint. To wear blue into battle meant that you would either return victorious or dead. He wants a leather sheath with...

I got a deposit this morning for a knife I designed a while ago. This time it's going to WA. It is a model I called the Pict. This one is big. It's 250mm long and the blade is around 7" I think. It will be ground from 4mm 14C28N with 304SS pins and a curly jarrah handle. It is the one second...

I seem to have gained a commission for a Pict.

I'm finished for the day, that's me got a blade profiled and bevels ground in 10 hours which is faster than without a grinder. I couldn't get a very nice grind using my left hand on the grinder but I managed to clean it up. I am in the process of preparing the blade for heat treatment now. I am...

That's what I'm doing, it's slow enough that in remembering to take pictures as I go. I am nearly finished after 2 hours of grinding as opposed to around eight in a smaller blade and O1 which grinds easier. I am using a paper mask which is better than black snot for a week. I'll put up the...

I don't know what it is like for grinding bevels but it is good for shaping handles. I might try a taper tang on the paring knife as well.

Just a quick update at luncheon time before I get back to grinding. It's certainly harder to move than O1. I have a new toy that isn't quite a KMG but it is close. The blade is bigger than the card pattern made it feel.

Those are too cool. They don't look like much would stop them. "God's Guardians, because chopping twice is silly."
