SWC Handmade Knives

[capacious]

Has anyone had any experience of this company - http://www.swc-handmade-knives.com/ - some of their stuff looks rather interesting, and the sheaths seem to be extremely well priced.

Thanks, Jake.

Those kits look intresting too
Anyone know if that's a good deal?

I want a Bushcrafter from Allan Blade but until he's well enough to take orders again I may as well try one of those ..... maybe

But to answer your question - never dealt with them so I'm absolutly useless to you ...... nothing new there then

There's a discussion about SWC knives and kits over on British Blades.

Nice looking blades.
Looks like they are slightly hollow ground so you might have to spend a little time with a stone to get the much saught after scandi grind.

Hi Guys, I have had an e-mail from Steve that makes these knives and he states that his knives are flat ground so you should not have a problem with the scandi grind.

My apologies for not posting this sooner as Steve sent the mail to me on the 1st of January, but I have been away for a while and on my return have had a network issue resulting in my not being able to post this until now, so my apologies also to Steve,

Leon.

Not yet, but give it a few weeks and I'll let you know - I have one on order

the maker of these knives is a member on britishblades, he goes by the name ghubca i think he is a member here too but i dont know his username..

The 65 pound Knife kits (the one which has had the HT done) looks like really good value, i may get one at some point.. he doesnt appear to have any compleated knives up for sale at the moment, but the quality looks good so price dependant they may well be a good buy imo!

Hmm, interested in the follow up here as I'm very tempted by these knives.

Not sure about the kit tho' tempting as it is ... I'm shockingly bad working with wood.

i was ordering one at the end of this month after chatting with him - he's sold a few on ebay (kits and completed knives) and the finished products were selling at not far off RM prices

I just purchased one of Steve's kits and posted some pics on British Blades.

I received this blade from him last week. I wanted a Woodlore with an edge that went all the way to the handle. He delivered right on time and the flat grind on this blade is absolutely perfect, better even than my Alan Wood Woodlore. And perfect communication all the way.

I can't say anything about the edge holding - If I have time, I will put on some olive wood handles this weekend - but I don't think that there are nasty surprises there.
