Was hugely impressed by the knowledge, knife making skills and knife collections of the veteran members of Mumbai CMG and other fellow IFG members. In time I collected a few knives myself, also learned the trance like joy of making a blade and hand working a razor sharp edge on to it.
After experiencing that high, what saddens me is the lack of opportunity to put my knives to their intended use. I dream of chopping, feathering, batoning etc using my knife to explore the limits of both myself as well as the tool made by me. The extended working hours of the past couple of months has me itching to take a break, go out and do exactly that.
I have a feeling that many other fellow members from Mumbai must be sharing my predicament. So was thinking about exploring the option of heading out and setting camp some place where we can make our own fire and meal
Any pointers of good places to peacefully setup camp not too far from Mumbai would be highly appreciated.
A brilliant 'Idea'
For starters the CMG (Churi Mochi Gang) of Mumbai could take the initiative....
A couple of hour's drive would take us to some nice camping grounds where....
1. The veterans could give a talk about 'Knives'...Materials used, Making process, Terminologies, Identifying shapes, Anatomy of knives, Popular Knife brands, Functions & utilities, Locking systems etc....
2. Added attraction could be a camp fire, cookout, sharing experiences etc.....
Mumbai Knife Gurus....Are you listening?????
