What it comes to those ornaments, my best guess this far is that they are 'good looking ornaments'. Tried to make a quick search, but couldn't find. Maybe few that are very close but not close enough to match'.
Howevers, there must be thousands of them. Will let you know if i find out.

As for reindeer coats For now, the only gloves/boots/coats made of reindeer fur i've seen for a long time was in some old photos or movies. If we're to talk about such a real men's fur coat. They make some like that up in the north, and sell them to tourists so quickly, probably just because they do not want us southeners to get any
There are belts, wallets, holsters made of reindeer skin available but i think horse or cow leather is better.

Considering the lowsy weather, there's no much to smile now. Zero visibility outside because of the storm. Pipe, beer & warm fireplace is the name of the game now.

You should see the embarrassment of a storm that has shut down the mid-Atlantic region of the US. Less than one inch stuck in my area before it turned to rain...maybe a foot at worst further west and north. Government closed, schools closed. Delays for tomorrow's opening was announced before the storm even started.

Yes, I'll say "hello" to the Marttiini-boys.
Cold Steel also...
But I think you should order your blades directly. Marttiini will also send their products to down under..

P.S. can't find Leatherman in the exhibitor-list... fu...

I wasn't serious Tom. I didn't really want you to send me a knife. I've checked out that site and I reckon I might have to order the 'Witches Tooth' for myself for a start...So many pretty knives on that site. And I also like that custom sheath in your other post. I might have to make one. I like multi-functional, in this case reversable for left or right hand access.

Tomi, I will be sure to check out other makers as well. I haven't done much research into Finnish knives, but I know I like them.

Now I have to be quick. I want to have time for a quiet bit of pipe contemplation before life has to start for the day.

I've checked the news about the huge snow storm there. Hope it will get over soon.

Currently we've had about 25 inches of new snow during one evening + 30 we already had.
That is not so bad at all.
But the wind was at times more than 10 Beauforts (60 mph). It was 'nice' to be out with the dogs. Wasn't snow but ice, sharp as glass there was speeding in the air.
Should go over before morning.

Smoking some old time favorites today.
