I recently rehashed the Explorer design that I used to make a few years back. It now has a bit of a clip point to it and a deep Sabre grind that although thick enough at the edge to have a nice strong mini Scandi bevel rather than a fine secondary for Bushcrafty tasks but is also quite slicey to...

Hi Folks, its been a while since I posted some pictures here so having hoping to make up a bit of ground take a look at this pair in Desert Ironwood. The project started as a refresh of an older model, after a while I realised it was basically a new knife so undecided as to which grind might be...

Hi Folks A knife I made recently for a returning customer, he saw and liked a Nessie I made ages ago but wanted something a bit different. We ended up at 5mm 01 with a taper tang, deep saber grind to the 140mm blade and all wrapped up in Spalted Willow. Hope you like it. Toby

Hi Folks and warm greetings to all. Well after a spell away from knife making due to a drastic change in circumstances and moving back to Kent from France I am back in the saddle so to speak.Not full time making as before but in between life, kids and generally getting by. Hopefully if I have...

Hello folks, though I'd post a picture of some recent work, a mixture of models and materials. and this wee chap is a new model that I'm quite pleased with, I ended up calling it the Woodcutter knife:p not you might think the most imaginative of names but does what it say' on the tin:) 85mm...

Hello Folks Been a while since I posted some pic's so because the grain of this figured/burl Elm forage a few years back is so nice I thought I would show it. O1 steel HRC 59, stabilized figured/burl Elm over black liners with mosaic pins for a bit of bling to set it all off. Thanks for looking...

Hi folks An acquaintance saw my leather sheathes the other day and asked if I could braid because her person doing it before has had a nasty (unrelated) accident meaning their braiding days are over, "no" was the reply but I said I could ask here if folks know of anyone able to braid to high...

I decided that nice knives deserve a nice strop so I designed a slightly different take on the normal paddle strop in that this can be used safely without any sideways movement at all on the kitchen worktop or nipped up in a vice in the workshop, the dovetails make for very strong construction...

Evening folks, been a while since my last post but the nuts and bolts of life including tying the knot have kept me away from things, But, a couple of days back at the bench have been just the tonic,......to the nuts and bolts bit....couldnt be happier with the rest. This is a knife I would...

Hi folks, I thought I would post a few pictures of a new model, I was asked by a chap in Austria if I could make a larger version of my Trappeur Bushcraft knife and this is the result with a 118mm blade instead of 98mm, I like it a lot with a bit of extra length and width so will be including...

A trappeur Bushcraft in 01, Olive wood scales over black fibre liners and some mosaic pins. The handle on this is a little fuller as per customer request hence the tapered double welt in the sheath and for a nice change (in my posts) some good pictures done by a good friend (hand supplied by his...

Hi all I have for sale a practically brand new pair of Asolo fugitive GTX boots ( size 11.5), being an impetuous chap I could not wait for the size 12 to come in and though the 11.5 would be fine....:( A short sorti on the soft stuff told me I4d got it wrong:mad: They are in mint condition and...

Evening folks, this is a little knife I thought I'd better show before I scratch it any further using it and because a certain member from the Emerald Isle became rather insistent I show a couple of pic's, its a little out of my fulltang comfort zone but rather than see good metal binned I...

I made this little one for a bit of fun from offcuts to big to be just thrown away but too small to make an offcuts carving blade from. Its too small (in my hands anyway) to have a useful purpose except perhaps for sharpening the odd pencil or opening knife supply boxes:big grin: Its in 4mm 01...

Bit of a saga with these two, they are for a forum member who has the patience of a saint, they have been beset with delays from incorrect pins being sent twice and then me taking a tumble from a ladder cracking 3 ribs into the bargain which slowed the making process down to a near standstill:(...

Just popped in for a look about and a catch up and found a rather confusing new feature /deterent and wondered if it is as it should be? In that as I scroll through various threads not only am I offered encounters with women of dubious age:( in large boxes to the right and top/bottom of pages...

I have a small craft fair Sunday to show/sell some knives and thought I'd show a 'after oil but before wax and Peek polish' shot while the skies briefly held back on the rain. Thanks for looking. Customer specified one off knife with plasticized Spalted beech and deep sabre grind,3mm 01...

Hello all, I have been asked a few times about a smaller knife by people that dont necessarily want or need a knife as big as the others I make, I set about coming up with a design that would suit those with smaller hands but not being a fan of anything sharp and pointy with a tiny handle due...

Hello all, I figured it was high time I join the forum properly and stop lurking, I just been given access to 8 acres of private Oak and Beech woods with a trout stream over here in Northern France and could do with learning more on how best to enjoy the time spent there so will be browsing...
