    Try the drill on it, it may not be tempered at the handle end ( cutting oil will help the drill bit get through, make sure it's firmly secured before drilling...... The last thing in the world you want is a ground... Semi sharp blade spinning at a rapid rate of knots at waist height or near the "man veg" If it won't drill it's hard ( you will see very quickly that the bit has no purchase) try a new bit if hat won't touch it then you may need some help ( there are various ways to get into hard steel, the easiest would be to give it to someone else to do lmao!!!) Good luck bud, Wai

    It is part of the trials for gsp in Germany to retrieve a fox over an obstacle so it is very likely the picture is real lol This is in part the reason that German hpr have been increasing in size and stature over the last 20 years or so ( the time that I have been around working dogs really, mainly in Germany ) A nice picture all the same.

    I bet it didn't take you long to find this thread Paul, " looking for a mincer". Lol I must say the sausages were very good and I look forward to trying the next batch..... Thoroughly . The machine seems to be good for the money, no probs with the mincing and filled the skins well too. It looked easy enough to clean but I made sure I was at home eating the goodies before that happend lmao Well worth a go fellas

    The damage caused by raccoon in Germany by both species is immense (financial and ecological!!!) The very idea of intentionally introducing them to Britain preposterous . There are some very good documentaries around mostly filmed in the Kassel area of hessen which show very well the damage caused by raccoon in urban areas, they make Charlie look like a cherub! Stripping roofs,removing insulation blocking chimneys to name just a few. Bins and skips have to be locked down ( I have seen a video where there were twelve of the buggers in one skip feeding,scrapping and making a right

    Yep I can remember very well an easy cock bird straight at me, I had just done my German hunting licence a few weeks before. I remember most of my first kills very well ( fallow,roe,red deer,wild pigs,fox,badger,raccoon,Martin,raccoon dog and even weasels lol ) It's a great sport we have. Waidmannsheil!!!!

    I hope I get first pick of the axes!! The style of these blades is very nice I think, I hope you dont mind if I make something along those lines when I find a decent saw blade lol. Great thread, as always a pleasure to follow

    Cheers matt, I will look forward to seeing the hatchet . Do you have any prices in mind for them? ( both the hatchets and the above knives lol) I was thinking of something like the small Scandinavian ones you can buy, a foot long? Once again, top work matey

    Bloody big rat net lol Looks like sheet netting? I would guess its an attempt at a large poke net.

    I had the le chameu zipped ones with the lamb fur in. The best Welles I have ever had without a doubt, bloody expensive but good. I had them for about four years and now my brother uses them ( he has had them for around three years now) the zip is still spot on and the soles still good. I am sure there are boots is good for less money but I would recommend these all day bud. Waidmannsheil!!!!!!

    Beautifully done matt! I really like the shape of these, one of those would be perfect for the "waidfrau" Very elegant.

    You can get tru oil on eBay bud,

    keep your chin up matt we have the advantage that we have little or no pressure to get these things done/finished, i have been at this one on and off since i got it i dragged a file down the blade while changing abit of the finger stop so had to grind down to the "hooks" and re finish. i like the felt alot and will do another blade with just that ( or maybe another nice wood with it??) i have been inspired by the posts of others who have made some knives and given the "nudge" when i found the humanely priced blanks by you. keep at it bud waidmannsheil!!
  19. waidmann

    thats a spalted maple handle with stabilised felt spacers/fillers. it sits very well in the hand and i am quite confident i could work with this all day hope you like it.
  22. waidmann
    here is the one i have been doing on and off for a while now, same blank as above.
  23. waidmann
    My questions were not meant to read negatively. I hope to hear more.
  24. waidmann
    i cant belive people are not buying them tbf, just wrap the handle in paracord and you are ready to go with a knife that will hold an an edge and last a lifetime. as i said its possibly too near the end of the month for some. thanks again bud.
