There are different ways to measure time. Or there really isn't, but rather it's about which unit it should be measured in and how it should be done. From the ancient Babylonians, we have inherited the system of starting from 60, among other things, when we divide things into seconds and minutes. That's one way to do it.
At the moment, however, my time is counted in knife-throwing units. A small unit is then about three hours. It's a training session. Instead of months, the time between competitions is used.
First came spring, but it was late because King Bore lingered. But from the beginning of March, I was able to start training. Spring and early summer have thus been devoted to basic training for the competitions that were to take place. The first, Soulthrower Open, is now completed, and thus period one is completed. Period two is shorter and more intense.
It began on July 1st and ends with the U.K.A.T. World Championships in Carpi, Italy, at the end of this month. After that, period three begins, and it is rounded off with the Swedish Championship in Arboga, the third weekend in August.

But that would be getting ahead of myself, and I don't intend to do that. First of all, I'll dwell on the competitions from last weekend. That will happen in a couple of posts.
However, besides knife throwing, there is a lot more going on here on the blog. Not least, my interest in being outdoors has picked up as the weather has been nice. It has also led to an increased interest in knives of the type that may be relevant at that time. We are talking about knives with many different names, such as outdoor knives, bushcraft knives, survival knives, etc. I have already presented two knives on that theme from Spanish Joker called Ranger and Bush Camp Knife.

However, it can already be revealed that a couple more knives from them will arrive shortly, albeit with a completely different expression. Variety is the spice, as usual.
I am also expecting a couple of models from Civivi, and I will, of course, show them, and then there will be some review. The next one is a pointed little thing from SRM, a knife I became very fond of, as it turns out.
However, it is doubtful whether I will have time for much more. The time optimist in me will have to give way to a little realism.
Now I will continue to enjoy the summer. See you soon!
