What's on your Christmas list?

I have been wanting a decent knife for the lottie for ages now. I wanted one that would slice through thick brassica stalks and pare off the damaged leaves for composting. My lovely fella has just had one of these hand made for my prezzie.

Clck on the link and scroll down the page to see my gorgeous leather handled Bowie knife. Mine has a six inch blade.

Not much on our Christmas lists this year, all we want is for baby to arrive on time and in one piece (or a few days early!) and not in the middle of our Christmas dinner. I am more than happy with this year being the first year OH and i have not had 6-8 other family members to cater for / staying with us so we will be enjoying having Christmas just the two of us for the first time ever - well, hopefully three!

Fingers crossed for you Newbie....and enjoy the peace whilst it lasts!!!

Post a photo after Xmas matey. Some of these older tools are really interesting.

There you are Aberdeenplotter - The 1928 model is top left. - middle left late 50's bottom left 1948 (aluminium body) Top right 1950, middle right 50's and bottom right 1960's de luxe model.

The 1928 is interesting in that the body was made in Germany by Fritz Howalt Company and the blade is Rolcut Sheffield steel.
