I tend to think that it is partly due to rumors spread about (and possibly by) the Rangers, and a bit of the Dunedain themselves, long lived as they are, and some gifted with foresight, who are we to say that they couldn't comment on the conversations of birds and beasts. Even the fox had a bit of t...

That is the coolest thing I have seen all day and a very Ranger thing to do

Simply gorgeous, Greg! Looking forward to that scabbard!

So, when we are talking high boots, how high is high? To the knee? I think we have discussed before about real world examples, wondering beside moccasin boots, what would fit this description. I had some boots made a few years ago, and have pics in them, funny story to show how sensitive our feet ha...

Interesting - I can't wait to see what you do with it. Will you be polishing off the blackening/modern numbers or leaving it be? edit - that half-tang style was very common in 18th-19th c. knives, although the wide rivets are a late 19th-early 20th c. innovation IIRC. No technical reason they could...

I do most of my garb/kit stuff in the winter time, please post pics when you can!

Hi all, I was perusing my Smokey Mountain Knife Works Christmas catalog and my eye stopped on a bushcraft knife that retailed for about 10 dollars, so I thought to pick it up. What struck me the most was it has a vague similarity, to me, to Strider's by-knife that you see housed in his scabbard in t...

I wonder if Gobekli Tepe would be Rivendell then
