What island, @nandok? There is something very appealing to me about this simpler life. Actual pursuit of minimalism and a utilitarian life sounds refreshing. We were just at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. I was blown away by everything they showed that you can do with a simple coconut tree. Real life skills.
'tis but a scratch I don't count them at that size, but I do try to be careful not to get any really cool ones.
that's the only Hawaiian island I've ever been on. Went mountain biking there if you can believe it. When that red earth gets wet, it's no better than ice. We had the family set us up with a time share place and air miles, but travelled with our two year old and it wasn't the greatest trip of all time. Beautiful damn place, once you get away from the crappy resort area
I could give you the names of some makers who seem to have mastered the art of making, selling, and shipping dull knives. Maybe one of them could teach you their tricks.
They should have a cameo where a vertically challenged individual in a white suit goes, "The Train! The Train!"
