1. I am in the process of cutting down the butt ends of 2 of Ragnar’s knives—one for a BCB tin and one for a Trangia tin. When I finish, I will post photos—if I can figure out how to make such postings. The stainless steel is really hard!

2. When I contacted Jerry Hossom about possible production of his Harpoon, I failed to ask him how large it was. So I contacted him again and he said it is about 7” long (which is obvious from SgtMike88Ret’s photo). I asked Jerry also if he had ever considered a very small harpoon which would fit diagonally in an Altoids tin and could replace a scalpel or be used as a gig. I am not sure if there would be sufficient demand to warrant production of this item. Jerry said: “A very small one is an interesting idea. I'll have to think about that.”
