This is probably the wrong place to ask this but I’m planning on having a clear out of the loft in the near future. Is there a limit on the number of items you can put up for sale for a given subscription? Thanks in advance :)

This is my first bit of whittling for the year as per my new years resolution. It’s a coffee scoop specifically made to reach our bean to cup machine which is squeezed awkwardly under a shelf in the kitchen. It’s carved from a blackthorn branch I harvested a while back and is aged/stained with...

I fancied a little light relief after playing with the geometry of folders for a while so went back to a fixed blade design for this project. It’s a little different to my previous offerings in that it’s fitted with synthetic scales in the form of black and orange G10 and has a Kydex sheath. The...

This is the end product of my latest little shed project. It has a 3 inch blade made of 2mm O1 tool steel and a 1070 steel back spring. The handle consists of a brass frame, red G10 liners topped with oak and rose wood scales all pinned together with brass rod. Thanks for looking. James :)

Evening again all. I thought I’d share a few pics of my latest little project. This is another slipjoint knife, the sharp pointy bit is a smidge under 3 inches in length and constructed from 2mm O1 tool steel. The handle is brass inlaid with rosewood with stainless fixings and the whole thing...

I thought I’d try something a little different (for me at least) for my latest project so had a go at my first folding knife. It’s got a 2mm O1 blade about 3 inches long to keep it UK friendly, it’s fitted with brass liners and pins and yew scales. It’s a bit rough and ready but I wanted to be...

I've just got back in from work and today’s blustery weather has enabled me to collect a nice little haul. It makes a nice change for the tree rats not to get them all ;)

Not even slightly bushcrafty but I thought I’d share it anyway. I’ve just finished making this medium sized chefs knife (6 inch cutting edge). It’s my first attempt at this style of knife and it’s destined to become a birthday present for my father in law who likes his cooking. The blade is O1...

Ok, I know technically it’s pattern welded rather than true Damascus steel but it’s a bit catchier for the thread title :) This is actually my first attempt not only at pattern welding but also at forging a knife rather than making one by stock removal (thought I might as well cross two firsts...

Recently I’ve got back in to whittling again and I’ve been using a homemade straight edged knife I made a while back and despite being reasonably happy with it I fancied something with a bit more of a curve and a tighter point for those more awkward, intricate areas. Initially I thought of...

I was looking for a bit of inspiration as to what to carve next having had my interest rekindled by @Gary Elson s excellent how to thread. Being a yellow belly a Lincoln imp seemed appropriate so I made this attempt using a piece of horse chestnut that came down in the winds a while back. It’s a...

I hope folks don’t mind but I thought I’d set up a thread for me to document my little projects on rather than keeping starting multiple similar threads. If I’m honest I’m probably doing this for my own benefit as it will help me organise a record of my progress but hopefully it will be of...

Hello again everyone. This is my latest project, it’s made from 3mm O1 tool steel and sports a 4.5 inch convex ground blade and has an overall length of 9 inches. This knife is handled with red fibreboard liners and my homemade hessian “Micarta” scales finished with 4mm carbon fibre pins. I was...

For sale one Condor Bushlore mini. I’ve had this for about two years and other than as a companion at the side of the log burner it’s barely been used. As such it’s carved a few feather sticks and been used to strike a ferro rod and that’s about it. It’s never been sharpened but has been...

This started up as a using up odds and ends / offcuts type project. I have a cornflakes box full of 1-4mm offcuts of olive wood that I bought a year or so ago for another project and haven’t been able to come up with a use for due to how thin it all is. My solution to the conundrum of what to do...

Hello all. This is the culmination of my latest project (bar the sheath). As per the title it’s based around the Nessmuk style knifes, this specimen is shaped from 3mm thick O1 tool steel. The cutting edge is approximately 5 inches long and the total length is 9 inches. I’ve forced a gentle...

I don’t know whether this is the appropriate place to post this so feel free to move it if neccasary. I’ve recently obtained a 5m length of EN45 steel primarily for using at work for tool making and was wondering if anyone had any experience knife making with it. I’m aware it has a relatively...

I finished knocking up another little project after work today. This one is made of 1070 steel with oak scales, red fibreboard liners and carbon fibre pins. The blade is 3mm thick and has a cutting edge of approximately 3 1/2 inches in length. I’ve not had chance to make a sheath for it yet so...

I had a bit of time on my hands over the bank holiday weekend so decided to finish off my latest knife. This one is handled with some left over white oak off cuts from another project and brass liners (which I’m hoping the epoxy will prevent any corrosion problems with down the line :) ). The...

I posted up some pictures of a knife I made recently in the “Edged tools” section of the forum and commented that the leather sheath was the part I found most difficult to make. This suggests leather work is an area that I need to practice so I knocked this up yesterday in order to do so. A...
