Whar har har! Soon you will realise that this is the true form for a bushcraft knife, not some stubby scandi carrot peeler!

Has already drawn admiring looks and questions from work colleagues at my desk (and some concern as its an oncology unit)...

I should add I get parcels sent to work. I didn't take it in..

Could be worse. Could be Proctology! 👍🏻

Pictures don't do the scale justice. It's a beast but it's a real workhorse. It was designed to build shelter not carve spoons. You can clear, cut, notch and split with it like nothing else and then sit by the fire and process all the kindling and firewood you might need. It's got space for a firesteel, a compass, a scalpel blade and even a spot in the sheath for a coil of snare wire and some fishing bits.

''Tis a marvellous creation. I have 3 because I have 3 kids and I want them to have one each when I'm gone.

Mine have just arrived, thanks! Sturdy looking things.

Does anybody know if I'll be able to use my Aldi bench grinder to grind the blade?

Did any makers say they would offer a grinding price? It's arrived and a lot thicker than I expected! Don't really want to ruin a blade with such potential!

Would anyone be able to produce a pommel and handle lock nut please, or point me in a direction where or who to approach.
Thanks in advance.

Duncan did mine a couple of years ago now, fab job too.
I recommend Paul Kirtly's review, fair I thought.
It's a work horse and no mistake.
