Crooked knives blades

[jojo]

I was tidying up some drawers in my workshop last night and found those I'd forgotten I had made last year.

All made of 01 tool steel 2mm thick, 1/2" wide and approx 2 3/4" long.

3 right handed blades and 1 left handed blade.

The top one's "flat" part is flat, the other's "flat" part have a small curve. (hope that makes sense)

I will clean and sharpen them before dispatch.

22 pounds each, including 1st class post and Paypal. (A lot cheaper than Ray's!!)

Yes please for the top blade with the tipped end of the tang.

PM on it's way

 

[The Cumbrian]

And the bottom one for me please, pm inbound.

 

[DFCA]

Yes please from me too

Can I have the second one down please?

pm inbound

 

[The Cumbrian]

I meant the bottom one of the right handed blades Jojo, sorry about any confusion.

All 3 right handed sold. Thanks gentlemen.

The left handed is still for sale...there must be a lefty somewhere here???

I've not even seen Northern Wilderness yet, but I have seen Cesar's Birchbark Canoe. I especially liked the bit where he knocked two paddles up out of a piece of wood he had lying about. I've had an ash plank in my shed for about six years now, and if I'm gonna make a mess of it trying to make a paddle out of it, I'm gonna make a mess of it with the right tools.

Cheers, Michael.

Can't think of a good reason.....

T'is a pity I didn't get a bit of warning what the content of Ray's show would be: I would have made a pile of those blades for sale!!! Maybe I still will!

 

[DFCA]

As I posted in the "whats the next kit fad" - got to be these now surely?

Until seeing a birch bark canoe made "ALMOST" entirely with one of these, I never realised how versatile they were. I thought a crooked knife made bowls and spoons and was therefore a bit of a specialist tool.

Cant wait to give this a go, and with FGYT's recent post with info etc about them, I've just printed off lots of pictures of handles.

Hmmmm, I wonder if it would be easier to make a handle with a crooked knife? I think I have just hatched a chicken/egg scenario!

All the best
