Sheath addons.

:/

The ease with which it seems to snap, shouldn't have left the maker.

I guess they don't get tested? I'm sure that will change, I do with mine but I have the time too.

How comfortable is a Horizontal carry sheath? I've never tried one or carrying a blade that way.

Always been a Baldrick for me. But I can see the advantages especially for a smaller blade.

That's painful!!!

I hope you manage to get it sorted. That's a great looking knife. What is the hole at the base of the blade for?

My custom job is Elmax and it’s been great. I made a mistake in my design of using a scandi grind on a hunting knife though and chipped the very fine edge while hacking out a trophy.

Dave Budd has it at the moment for a pretty serious regrind.

That's not great - did the maker not suggest at the time that a different grind might be more suitable? Are you having Dave put on a secondary or changing the scandi grind to a more obtuse ange?

 

[Countryman]

Dave is putting on a secondary. It’s good of him to pick up but the original maker has had a lot of issues. Regardless, it was my design, my bad.

Ensuring the HT is good before final grinding, fitting a handle and making it look pretty would have saved the maker some time.

I wonder I have a question to ask if I may, I make my knives on the basis of a hobby and do the odd one off when asked, I wonder for those that create in large numbers, do you get time to test each one and I wonder what do you do to test each knife?

Straight from HT, using your thumb and forefinger, hold the blade at the rear of the handle.
Flick it down and let the blade edge pivot and hit the edge of your vice or hard piece of steel.

The knife should leave a little ding in the vice edge, or break.
All that pass the test should be fine...

My edges are around and less than 0.3mm thick.
