Hey Paddy, For a lot of my knives I've used Helle blades (quality Norweigan, all around £20 including shipping from the US) http://collectibles.shop.ebay.com/Knives-Swords-Blades-/1401/i.html?LH_PrefLoc=0&_nkw=helle&_dmpt=Collectible_Knives&_sop=15&_stpos=pr1%201xa&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282&gbr=1...

Thanks for sharing!

You're not showing off, you're offering inspiration! Definitely inspirational!

I made a hip flask as a present, but there is talk that the alcohol dissolves the beeswax. I don't know how fast it does, and wine wouldn't be as severe as spirits, so I would presume a re-wax every now and then would keep it tip-top Here's a great tutorial...

Wow, great job. Thanks for sharing... it's not showing off, it's offering inspiration! And it's definitely inspirational.

Great work buddy!

Ouch! Perhaps send a few pieces off to be stabalized

Great thread, I'm inspired to get back into it. A few years ago I did a lot of research into the subject and it culminated in a pine flatbow (the only wood I had available). Bow tillered, but when I came to string it for the first time... CRACK! I didn't get a bow out of it but I got a lot...

H is for Holly

Im in the North West, I'd be happy to meet up and build along with you. What equipment do you have? Cheers, Will

Nice job. Hmm, I reckon carry on! You've got this far after all. Gosh looking at your shavings it really does look like hard work. Sharp tools!

Nice I didn't know it was so simple, I thought it required lazer etching. Check out the EKA W11 for inspiration on the chequering. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=eka+w11 (Ignore the sarcasm :-P)

Ah, welcome back to the dark side! Great tutorial, I think I'll be going for the gold leaf option :-P

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, John. Looks like the perfect blade, and at £40 that's a bargain!

Kayak Fishermen, eh? There's a combination I never thought would mix!
