Anyone ever try one of these?
Or, just the chain links?

I like the jig he has on his worktable.

Very nice. I’ve done a Mors Kochanski “try stick”, some of those twists would be a nice addition for a little more practice.
This was nice to watch... Deborah, the spoon lady. 
Here is the source for the porcelain burnisher/polisher and samples of some very nice spoon, scoop, and serving piece designs. They also sell blanks

My Morakniv 106 was delivered today... but I haven't opened the inner plastic package it came it... I'm so mad I could spit nails.
I ordered off ebay. Looked at the sellers FB%, which is 99.6% Ship from location, KS all good, so I ordered.
The fricking package that was delivered has an AMAZON label on it. Inside is a "gift" ticket from AMAZON.
I just got home and looked at the actual negative FB left them... other complaints about them selling AMAZON.
I HATE Amazon... and like some of the others said, if I wanted to buy from Amazon, and save $6 on the knife, I would have ordered from Amazon.
I'm going to investigate ebays seller's policies. I sincerely doubt they allow drop-ship selling.
Reported to both Amazon and ebay.
Now going to check out my new knife!

That's amazing!
What tools did you use and how long did it take?
Similar to TNT I got a new knife, my first Pukko-style. With any new knife I get for use in the woods I like to make something with it, a “christening” of sorts, as well as to test the function. Just last night I finished most of the major shaping. My original idea was to carve or burn fish features in it - scales fins eyes etc - but I’ll pencil them on first to see if the design will work. It’s a new coffee scoop to replace a plastic one. I wanted to make a kuska but the wood split and I had to work around it.
It still needs some shaping and thinning but most of that will be done with a rasp and sandpaper.
It’s hardwood so its quite a chore to carve.

Not sure if you’re looking for more projects, but I just made a batch of netting needles using offcuts. I’m going to use them to make fishing landing nets after watching some vids on the tube. I did a few completely by hand, but I made a batch of 20 (10xtwo sizes) and used a router table to do the hardest cut (removing the centre material) then finished them all with a knife. My hands were almost crippled the next day, but it was a lot of fun. I think it’s a really good knife carving skills project.
Very nice!
I'll have to watch the videos.

Been over a year since getting injured that I have carved a spoon. Just finished this one this morning. 
Perfection! Love the light stripe down the center.
Was the injury wood-carving related?
Haha no! It was starting a chainsaw related!!! The damn 056 super I’m trying to get a piston for! I pulled the rope and I got a sharp shooting pain in my arm. Turns out it’s tennis elbow!
