large batch of fieldcrafters with 2x limeted editons

[Fieldcrafter-uk]

Thanks for the compliments guys and Pete , lets move on mate !
It's fine your not able to afford them now I have no plans to stop making them and I just want to build up reputation and a loyal user/fan base for the product .
There not everyone's cuppa tea I know that ,and as much as I might want it to be I can live with it .
I'm very hard on what I think a knife should be and almost allways very disappointed with the knives I have bought and used. there's allways some compromise . So my attempt was to build a knife I believed in and could keep me satisfied !
My personal knife is a black linen micarta knife iv been putting it through its paces , and it's now ready for its first re sharpen as the strop and steel just arnt getting me the edge I want .
Iv designed and built a jig that means I can put it on the machine and get that beautiful edge I require back .
I'm sure it will continue to please me as it has so far !!
So I'm pretty confidant that if you buy one your going to like it if not love it !
I'm a very self critical person , so if I'm happy I hope customers will be to ?
All the best , matt

Treat your self is a nice way to say it

 

[BearInTheWoods]

I
Sorry I don't follow , what does that mean ??

Erm... the next time I design a website for someone (normal fee £250), I may very well treat myself to one of your products. I have other sources of income so regard web-design fees as 'treat money'.

 

[Fieldcrafter-uk]

Sorry I did understand it it just took a second for the penny to drop !
I edited it as you must have been replying

 

[petrochemicals]

ermmm ..........,

does that mean that they are sheffield manufactured blades. Laser cut isn't anything special other than its speed, very very fast, and its neatness, but there are lots of other ways of cutting, flame cut, high pressure water(also very neat). The metal is tempered in sheffield and demagnitised, so that would imply that they come umworked ? What grade stainless is used ? If you actually look after a knife a pure steel ferrous metal could be used, with all the advantages of pure metal, but we would have to take care of them. Obviously you use cold grinding machines.

[Fieldcrafter-uk]

Pete I think you have replied to the wrong thread or something ???
You have totally lost me ?
There o1 tool steel .
Cut, heat treated and engraved in Sheffield , what's wrong with that or stating it ??
I'm not aware I implied there's anything unique or cutting edge about any of that ?
I use those methods because they give me quality control over the product , a uniformity .
The companies I use came highly recommended by one of best knife makers (IMHO)
And no there ground on a very nice made to order linisher I bought 18months back from another highly respected industry company .
I cool the steel in water like everyone else .

Can I ask you a question Pete ?
Why the attack or what seems like one to me ?

 

[Tat2trev]

Is this a for sale thread or a debate ????mmmmmmmmmm I wonder when the mods will intervene ?????

 

[petrochemicals]

nope,

to be honest really just questions raised in my brain from other posts in this thread, and to bend your ear a bit.

Pete

 

[petrochemicals]

nope,

to be honest really just questions raised in my brain from other posts in this thread, and to bend your ear a bit. To make it clear, you make em youself ?

Pete

 

[Fieldcrafter-uk]

To make it clear ....
I designed them .
Commission the expensive job of having them cut .
Pay for them to be heat treated as I want them .
And so on .
Yes I'd say I make them ?

Pete your looking like a troll at the moment .
I don't usually feed trolls .

Yes, but you don't dig the ore, do you? You don't personally smelt the steel, do you?

Pah, I bet you don't even raise and slaughter the cattle whose hides are tanned to make the sheaths.


Edit - Just in case it is necessary, I would like to point out that the above was intended ironically/as a jest.

 

[Man of Tanith]

Mod hat on.
The gentleman says he makes em.
Any more questions by pm only.
No more cluttering up sales thread.
Thanking you in advance

 

[salad]

I like the look of these knives and the price is good.

Once I have paid off my bank for my last kit purchase I will be in contact for one, these knives say to me "use the hell out of me"

 

[Fieldcrafter-uk]

Like a good women hey
Thank you for the interest . There will be plenty to choose from as I try to have as many finished as possible at all times .

Just a note maybe of reassurance .
There is now 80+ of theses out there in all sorts of homes.
Some with collectors who have 3-5 of them !
Bush-crafters and a huge portion in the hunting group from professional pest controllers and deer management teams .
Iv never had anything but great feedback from people .
They please me and I'm hard to please .
Don't let the awkward portions of the thread put you off !!
All the best , matt
