Nice looking knife. The shape is just like the ones we use here.

But of course... It's made in Finland

You are close it is a Helle made in Norway. I like the Scandinavian style of knifes.

My bad... I thought that it was from Finland... So many Scandi knives, I forget who is who and what is what

If that is the worst mistake that you make today you are doing GREAT!

Not to get off topic, here is one that I put together this last summer...

Iowa Whitetail Antler, US Penny and lots of Epoxy... And then a handmade sheath from scrap leather...



Also a set that a carver in NY was parting with that I managed to get my hands on...



Burch with Reindeer...

I put 500 rds of Fiocchi & 60rds of Remington subsonic down her this weekend. She wouldn't run w/out the can, kept short stroking. I'm wondering if the factory Fiocchi is underpowered. With the can on, she ran good. At least now I have some brass, so I can develop some loads.

I was planning on forming my own brass, even bought a little saw from Harbor Freight. Made a jig outa wood, but couldn't figure out a good way to mount it. The clamp I uses came undone on the 2nd piece of brass, and shot across the smoking den(garage), shattering into a million pieces. Back to the drawing board!

Tonight's smoke. 5'Oclock Shadow in a Milano.

Nightcap and a cup of Lapsang before bed

I had a bit of a brown leaf Xmas yesterday. I was starting to run rather drier than I like on pipe tobacco, but have been putting off the order until I move. Well I went down into my shop and started to go through boxes to see if there was anything that I didn't need. Well low and behold I came across a box with a Variety of tins, most even unopened. Now these weren't my cellaring stash but my smoking stash that must have become lost during my last move. All together I found, Near full tins of squadron leader, plumcake, irish flake, University flake, Navy flake, Mississippi Mud, and Luxury blend. As any man should I proceed to celebrate by smoking good amounts of luxury blend, University flake, Plum Cake (for dessert) and Irish Flake for a nightcap. Happy Tobacco finding day to me, and may all your homes be as full of pipe smoke as mine was.

Smack out of the evil lip weed this evening. OJK in an Edward's Prince provided the necessary vitamin N. Real nice smoke, I may just take a pipe to work tomorrow instead of reloading with snuff.

Hittin on the Peterson 303 tonight. It's been a while. Forgot what a good little pipe this is. Smokin the usual.Bavarian Baron .Gooood stuff Maynard !
