Sure was. I've spent this lunchtime cleaning all my sharp's. Lupo (with it's nice new clothes) looked shabby, my Leuku (stainless) was'nt bad, but Cegga has now got some interesting pitting! All the leather sheaths and covers were soaked through, even though they are waxed and oiled and that did not have a nice effect on my shiney's. A little time and effort has them nice and clean again but i cannot get the pitting off Cegga. Still, this is the price you pay for not being a fairweather 'Scrafter'. Tools are meant to be used not kept in a drawer, nice and shiney. The same as the rest of your kit, no point in getting all these goretex lined boots and nice tarps if they never see mud and rain is there? Bushcraft is not exclusively a summer pursuit. Oh, btw, Ventile works in the most severe conditions and i know this through experience, just as you do John.
Did you get the opportunity to use your new favourite Damascus? Looked good in the pic's before use. Probably has even more character now.
