Derek W shared some photos with us this week of his last completed project.Nessmuk was the pen name of George W Sears who in the 1880 was writing articles about travelling light, enjoying the outdoors and being a solo "tourist" while the norm was to go in bigger groups with guides and heavy equipment in his area of the USA. His book is loved by bushcrafters and others who enjoy sleeping out and has a wood carving of his pen knife, his custom made belt knife (that we today call the Nessmuk knife) …

Ranid sent in a couple of photos of his custom Laplander.Using the long Lauri Laplander blade in 80CrV2 Carbon Steel, he had made a big chopper with comfortable looking Curly Birch handle and, brass bolster and mosaic pins.Love the finish of the handle, and that shape looks very comfortable.Good work, Ranid!
