Re: What's everyone working on?
My current knife setup is still a little on the modern side as well. I’ve got a Condor Hudson Bay that I carry on my main belt w my sporran pouch, and a much smaller Mora blade that I put an antler handle on and got a leather sheath for.

I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory; I only love that which they defend.

Re: What am I working on?
What am I working on... well, now that we bought a house, the $$ are a bit lacking for extracurricular activities... at least in the acquiring of new stuff. So
in working on getting back into attending medieval faires this year after the chaos that has been the first 3 years of the '20s,, I'm going through all the collected wardrobe costume gear and see what I will use. sell, or give away. I found my battle-grade chainmail shirt!
My Middle Earth 'rangering' has of late been more in the form of writing tales, online roleplaying, fan-fiction, and character creation on a site called RP Repository. I still have a lot of work to do with the house and it progresses as money allows. One big project that is staring me in the face is digitizing reams of my mother's photos and genealogy work which she had dedicated her life's hobby time to. I just got my scanner set up in my study, so we'll see how that goes.
I love seeing all the excellent work everyone does with their kit and other Middle Earthian wares!

It looks great redhand! That's an interesting suspension method you have there. How do you like it?

Re: What's everyone working on?
Oh, sorry no. For your bushcraft knife, it seems like that angled loop is your suspension right? It’s neither a horizontal or vertical suspension since it’s angled so I was wondering how you liked it.

Oh, yes. The angled loop is if I want to do an angled carry on the back or crossdraw on the front, but I actually haven't tried in the real world. There is a normal vertical carry loop behind the handle. I wore it vertical on my recent trip.

Re: What's everyone working on?
I'm late posting these, but I finally finished a scabbard project about a month ago that sat in limbo for a couple of years. I made the core ages ago, but just never got around to the leather cover. Finally got a friend to help me out since he's done these before and I have not.
The blade is a Ronin Katana Medieval Saber; not necessarily what most think of as a Ranger blade, but still one of my favorites.
This was the first scabbard core I've done. I've completed a couple of others since, and I've learned to slim them down a little more. This one was a little on the thick/chunky side.

Damn fine job!
Re: What's everyone working on?
About to start a new batch of arrows. I cut the knocks a few weeks back. Next I’ll sand and fit them to the string, and seal the shafts.
Then, a good night or two of cutting the fletching. It usually goes quick from there. Fletchings attached and wrapped, then arrow heads.
