It's a surgical scalpel, that's what Gary uses for his usually.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

Just spotted it. No, just my every day knife. Really trying to find the combination of tools where by I'm using the least amount I can to enable me to do all my crafting.
My axe, my mocotaugan, the belt everyday blade, a whittler size fixed belt blade and my opinel.
Getting there I hope, aesthetics is proving to be the challenge for me because I want then all to match and be Operational Not Decorational.

It's a tough call getting exactly what you want. I'm a lover of the turn of the century woodsman stuff and finding it is easier said than done.

Very much so. As you know I'm more interested in Wilderness than Bushcraft. Yes they are essentially the same, for me the definition between the two is the modern equipment boundaries.

Yep, it's called Kolrosing. You incise rather than stipple like with scrimshaw. The traditional way was to rub in ground birch bark, but as cinnamon is ground bark it's basically the modern equivalent. You normally seal it in with wax, but as you use it the greases and dirt from your hands pigment the lines and keep it nice and dark.
