Apologies for the delay, this is the sort of elegant/functional long fighting knife I picture it as - white handled and silver fitting in there as well.

Why did the death of their horses matter at the Ford of Bruinen? Why couldn't the Nazgûl just keep going? I don't think it was the loss of the horses that stopped them but rather the fact that the ring had passed under the protection of Elrond. If they had a large army nearby then perhaps they may ...

I've always thought because Dwarves have a single outer name and don't tend to have family names, Family names as a whole don't seem to proliferate outside of the Shire and Bree. Add to that we usually see singular Dwarves or smaller groups where there's no need to differentiate between them. It's ...

Shes a skilled cutler and married...... But I am at a loss for a good Ick Australia is nickname ground zero, I've literally worked alongside people for over a year and didn't know their real names. Looking at Dwarven names there are only a handful that I can see, Ironfoot and Oakenshield being the ...

Then Legolas gave into his hand his silver-hafted knife, his quiver and his bow I'm thinking that anything decorated with silver is usually more of a weapon than a tool, also I took a tour through the Lord of the Rings and it seems that the professor assigns the prefix 'long' to knives that are bei...

Late to the party so I assume your goose is cooked (never thought I would have a chance to use that in context) but a really simple way is to just hang it from string above your fire. I've done plenty of chickens and duck that way on an asado cross but have seen others do birds as large as turkey, y...

Allow me to be the first to welcome you to the forums Wil, I hope your stay is fruitful.

Video is quite well done, spacing and time lapses all work well. I notice you have quite a nice leather working toolbox. You could consider doing a small video explaining the tools and what's required there as your average novice may be looking at the bare minimum setup they would need to make somet...

Thanks mate.... How are you getting on with the other work of fiction I sent you? Poorly! But only on account of not having begun. That's entirely on me, I've just had so much on my plate lately and I want to relish it and not do it at work or something stupid so I'm waiting for an alone moment in ...

I just don't understand why they are allowed to confiscate and destroy stuff that's legal to own in the UK, surely that just counts as theft? It's due to ambiguous legal definitions. Anything that can be classified as a weapon is technically up for the ban treatment. Another term I hate is 'offensi...

Eofor, thank you so much. I can’t tell you how much your words mean. I need a few more miles under my belt before I feel worth of such praise. Thankfully my auto immune disease seems to be in retreat, I've been crafting and am back in the gym building my strength and fitness back up. Pack walks sta...

but the thing I can never understand is that he has successfully sent me a knife since, so sometimes it works and other times it doesn't?? It quite literally comes down to the person operating the X ray that day. If they decide to flag it then they do and others will just let it though. It's a horr...

Eventually, I'll upgrade, but I've yet to find a forged grill that would work for me. I get it, and I understand your reasoning it just stood out a bit. Perhaps you might need to design and commission something yourself? Elleths little cookpot from Royal Oak is still one of my all time favourite th...

Late sorry. A lot depends on who is attending and the event itself. We can organise a local event with our core members within a week or two as we know that all our kit and skills are on the same level but if we plan one several hours away in the snow with attendees we haven't had out on the trail w...
