  10. Totally agree with your post Reg, there is a lot of world of there and for the tree climbing type there are must more suited countries, spent 3 years in NZ, one year in Auckland just another city and now 2 years in the Wairarapa living rurally.. Id never move back to the UK or a big city again I reckon but who knows what life will bring..

  15. 11.7 cougar blue, bit shiny to start but when it fluffs up its a beauty on the hands
  16. Flat file on all sides but mainly bottom, once done with the flat file they are razor sharp.. Never had any issues , I leave the gaffs on the spikes and just lightly put them in the vice
  17. Cougar blue is s winner for me, footlocked up some globe the other day and that was super super static not sure of the diameter though
