article in Backwoodman Mag
Jul 21st, 2008 at 10:27pm
 
so, slingbadger informed me the other day that i have an article published in backwoodsman magazine.   Shocked

i sent it in february i think, and i guess they just published it in this issue.  kinda exciting being published and all.. Roll Eyes

its an article basically going over the "more you know, the less you carry"  doctrine that i like.  reading it now i realize that i wrote the same thing like ten times with different words, but they used it so i guess its good enough eh?

just thought i would let you guys know in case you are interested...

ps...i have it in PDF...is there a way to upload one to the internet without having a website?  if anyone is interested in reading it, send me your email and i can send it to you as an attached file.

They get free subscriptions to the magazine. That's a money saver.

ooooh, pretty. ..... what is the "Viking whetstones" very attractive material .... I'm familiar with the Arkansas (U.S. state)  Whetstone (Noviculite (forms around hot springs from dissolved minerals)) which I've seen in the shades of white to black and some times pink to red.

Steven, according to the Ragnar's catalog page http://ragweedforge.com/SharpeningCatalog.html they are made of jasper and I believe that to be correct, but I'm not an expert.

There is also some lighter colored packaging that says found in York, England on it, but here is one shot of packaging that I took to which I have the link.

...

Siguy, right now apparently Ragnar, according to the page linked above, only has less attractive ones left and so has marked them down from $10 to $7. They are very fine grain so one might have mixed feelings about them. With a dull knife they don't seem to do anything, at least not unless one is extraordinarily patient. With a sharp knife that just needs a touch up or the equivalent more or less to a steeling, they work great either to refine or bring up that final edge.

Well - I think you maybe know the answer Wink For those who havn't seen the site

Yours for 8 (Great) British pounds (Tax included).

Anyone visiting Britain with the slightest interest in archaeology ought to visit York. A lot nicer than London, and the capital city when London was still a swamp Grin.
