    Decent Knife for Trimming

    My favorite is one I made myself. Made from a metal cutting band saw blade I use this for boning and trimming and once in a while, filetting fish. Blade is high carbon steel and nickel, not stainless, hence the staining. Handle is white cedar and sumac with aluminum pins.

    DIY Charcoal

    I moved from northern New York to northeast Pennsylvania last year. In New York I did not use the retort method but plan to here.

    DIY Charcoal

    I have made charcoal in the past and plan to do so again. Oak would be great. Not sure about the walnut.
