lol maybe i,ll send him something in the post ..... ;)

anyway,heres the next thrilling installment...and knife n0 2. its a wee knife for making toothpicks and cleaning your nails.bit more precise than the big heavy bugger. the top ones a 3mm effort,and pretty f*cking good i think.

if i dont melt it during heat treatment i might let someone have it as a kit including brass pins and oak scales. think the first one should go to Jonno if hes interested.seein as its his site an all,and its near christmas lol.......but you can make your own bleedin sheath mate, ive no leather yet!

what kind you want Neil? wee one or a big one?

i just made one today with brick colored liners and birch handle.quite proud of it actually.gonna get some oil to finish the wood and waterproof it.

im only doing a few of these as i cant guarantee the knives.

its handy for a bit of field testing though lol.

might i just add that forming the handles is a real ordeal !

Forming the handles is the fun part of making a knife.
here's one of my handles in Desert Iron Wood.
