Thanks Leon
Working with these things is a labour of love, some things just seem to fly out and those seven hours or so flew, others are a nightmare, this was the former. I could quite happily have kept hold of this as it is of such beautiful materials, but I have a couple of projects with a couple of knifemakers to fund, something had to give.
There is a lot of excitement to come - a deer stalking specific knife, designed by a professional stalker and another for an Infantry officer friend of mine who has had four combat tours in three years, with a sheath designed in conversation with him, suitable for ...well.....combat really, I'll post pics of the lot.
Effort? Work? I really rather enjoy it actually, it's getting up for the day job that's the grind.....but then I have a mortgage, so...
