Excellent! Thanks for the countersunk holes and double-edged variant, Joel.

I do like the versatility of a double-sided blade, but like a double-edged sword, it cuts both ways!

(To anyone who hasn't used the a double-sided carver before, there is a painful lesson waiting for you! Be careful.)

PM sent but I don't think this affects the number remaining for sale (I think Joel had put one of each aside already.)

Hi Joel

I have my blade and it is perfect :)
Going to be getting a handle done asap.
Hopefully you will make some more sooner rather than later as you will have another willing customer here!

All the best
Dave

Here are a few pics.

The handle is made of Yew and the blade is epoxied into it. The lashing is artificial sinew and the finish is a linseed based oil. The thumb rest is slightly hollowed and keep your thumb from slipping.

The handle for the double edge blade is Mahogany. The "scallop" on the top is to provide more grip and somewhere for the thumb to rest. These double edge blades can bite you if you are not careful and it does help. I have used the thumb scallop on bushy knives and it does make a difference too.
