Yew and rosewood whittler

[Bionic]

Recently I’ve got back in to whittling again and I’ve been using a homemade straight edged knife I made a while back and despite being reasonably happy with it I fancied something with a bit more of a curve and a tighter point for those more awkward, intricate areas. Initially I thought of buying a Mora 120 but now I’ve put together a pretty adequate workshop I thought it would be more satisfying to go homebrew again.
This knife is made using O1 steel with a hidden tang. The handle is a laminate of offcuts of yew sandwiching rosewood with carbon fibre pins to aid the security of the blade.

I really like that. I've never made a sandwiched handle; will have to give it a go

Oh that is nice.

Thanks for the kind words

Very smart indeed.

I had a bit of an adverse reaction to some new meds this morning so had an unplanned day off. In between bouts of nausea I at least managed to get a rudimentary sheath stitched up (I’d already cut and dyed it etc) so at least it wasn’t a total loss

lovely wee knife and a very tidy looking sheath. Hope you are feeling a bit better now!
