Ken, take a look at the Silky Nata for batoning small wood and also as hatchet/machette.

If it is just knife sharpening that one desires/requires then isn't the T-1 a better/less expensive option?

I have been looking at purchasing 2 MB-100's to get FVB, but now 1 MB-102 will do it. I feel a Christmas present is in my future.

There seems to be a niche trend lately of folder makers making RIDICULOUSLY thick knives.  Here's one that's just about 10mm.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmFbvYxOGuU
That's not a knife it's a joke.

I like the idea of using 2 MB-100's as demonstrated on the Recurve video #17 .

How about using a Allen headed bolt, instead of grinding the hex head smooth?

Ken, we buy frozen wild blueberries at the grocery store, packaged by Wymans of Maine. For baking my wife uses the dried wild blueberries from Trader Joe's.

Mike,

Sadly, I agree. The cost of international shipping is problematic. Unfortunately, that was what killed the US market for UK forum member, Robin C Bailey, selling the useful extended support bar he designed. It is well made and he was selling it at a very fair price. The killer was the cost of international shipping. Robin's plan was to have ten made up to recoup the cost of his bar. A good plan, but, alas, only one taker, me.

I hope we will someday return to more rational shipping costs. I regular buy blueberries grown in Chile and Peru at a more reasonable cost. Hopefully we can figure ways to ship other items at lower cost.

Ken, buy blueberries from Chile and Peru? I won't buy produce from anywhere but the USA, support American farmers or there won't be American farms. Blueberries come from Maine. ;)
Ken
