Very nice knife Mick, how is the plasticized Birch to work with compared to normal Birch?, I only ask because I am currently using curly Birch on a project, much difference?.

2mm thick scandi thats a proper cutting tool. Lovely work.

That beautiful, Mick, very elegant lines (as always), looks like it might make a nice wood carver, too!

Kind regards,
Paul.

Hello Simon
The Platicised CurlyBirch is nice to work and is very hard and strong, The only thing I find is the process changes the colour, which is a bit of a downer for me because I like natural wood and C/B is one of my favorits in it's natural form
But Being stabilised with the Plasticising process does give that waterproofing and all the rest of it characteristic

I've got to admit I agree with you on that one Mick I love Curly Birch myself, I am using it on my second knife project at the minute, just oiled it and the wood looks stunning, I will get some pics up soon for you to see.

Sounds Good Simon, I even like the smell of Curly Birch
Look foward to the pics

Lovely piece of steel. What hardness is it tempered to?

For me personally I prefer stainless for my fishing knifes, also good because you can give it a serious wash up afterwards. Smart to use plastcised birch for that reason though.
