Rainy here this morning so I got the Hults Bruk and the Plumb hung. The Plumb had a bit smaller eye and appeared to be more symmetrical/uniform than the Hults. This is my first time hanging a head so it probably took too long, but I enjoyed it. We'll see if they stay tight. Now for some linseed oil.

If you are still interested in a BP substitute then American Pioneer Powder is great. I have some "Shockey's Gold and the regular APP powder (don't notice any difference) and have been using it for 20 some years. I have an inline, so no experience with it in a sidelock but my experience has been...

I like the knife too!
