Thats fine. Pm incoming.

Hi Russ. Could i take the blue one please?

Some liner materials, vulcanised fibre for example provide some shock absorption if battoning, or chopping. Better for your hands, and helps protect the glue bond. Aesthetics plays a part, and as said above, some woods react with carbon steels. The tannin in Oak can corrode steel for example. A...

I've always aimed for clean lines, not a fan of a cluttered looking or ugly knife. Simply no need for it. Cheers Hugh. :)

Thanks chaps. :)

Thanks :) No mate. Reindeer antler is solid with very little to no pith.

Afternoon chaps, Just finished off an SPB2 resplendent in Reindeer antler. A very early design of mine from way back in the day. I've not made one in years, but someone wanted one so i made them one. Love Reindeer antler, can have some awesome colours running through it. Bit awkward to work...

Don't use the new E10 fuel, too much ethanol in it, which attracts moisture. Super unleaded, i think its E5 has less and is more stable/last longer. As said above, add a fuel stabiliser to it and will last much longer. If you're using it for power tools, and you dont plan on using them for...

Thanks Hugh. :) Thanks mate, yeah Thuya is rather special, becoming a protected tree now as its been overused now because its so nice. Has a lovely smell when you're working with it too. The Eagle was designed for working with wood being the priority. I'm glad the Eaglet is serving you well...

Nice those mate. I like the boning knife, looks very slicey.

Drilling G10 is fine, But cutting it with anything other than an angle grinder 1mm slitting disc or diamond scroll saw blade is a big no no. It would kill them in inches

I buy mine in sheet form from Ground flat stock, (GFS supplies) If you look in the options, you can get them in 150mm x 300mm sheets. 3.2mm thickness in this link. ( more colours in 6.4mm) https://www.gfsknifesupplies.com/Products/g10-32m-scales They have other thicknesses and types of G10 too.

Normal machetes are not targeted by the legislation.

Thanks Hugh :)
