    Sorry for the delay guys! Right, I've got a new in box all steel handle Rough Rider brand lock knife, it's small and quite charming! I also have plenty round screw top 50gram baccy tins, aswell as some rectangle ones. Super handy for small bits! No pictures as I'm using my phone and gave a...

    Making a Mushroom Knife: for a BCUK Member!

    Can't say I'd wear a claw shape blade around my neck in a hurry! Lol Intact, any knife around my neck feels stupid and in the way. Also a neck sheath will require alot of work to keep it solidly in place, usually with wet forming the leather and as the knife is slender and small that wouldn't...

    Hultafors heavy duty and OK4

    Yep, that's a toothpick! Lol Probably tough but not a reassuring to the eye. It'd be good like you said for sea fishing and a custom hard wearing handle with stainless but plate and fitting would look ace. Do it! ;)

    Making a Mushroom Knife: for a BCUK Member!

    Edge has been ground in, kept cool with water and finished on a 1000 grit belt. Cleaned, check fitted and find glued, pined and left to dry over night. Tomorrow I'll saw off the excess bolster, grind it back and sharpen and polish the edge and brass aswell as peen and polish the retaining...

    Hultafors heavy duty and OK4

    Lol nice! Good haul, plenty to last a life time, experiment and modify. The mora robust is also a superb knife. Had one for ages and mine was finished really well compared to other mora's I've had. Never had the top one, kansabol? Before but the blade has always interested me. I hope you work...

    Custom Knife makers, are there any left?

    All that is said is fair and true. But if 'custom hand made knives' sell for £200 why does the price rocket up when you the buyer want to customise it a little more? Simple. Because an existing design pumped out repeatedly isn't custom. It's just hand made. Changing that repetition costs money...

    Knife Build

    Love it! Balls to the clone haters, mate. Nothing is sacred and we know what we sign up for when we choose to pay £15 compared to £115! If it cuts, pokes and does the job it's good imo. And you just made it better! Regarding gaps and scale delamination, my advice is true your scales flat as...

    Making a Mushroom Knife: for a BCUK Member!

    Cheers chaps. :) I will clean and wax the antler but nothing more. I'm not really sure what else can be done? I could polish and buff it but that won't really match the steels surface with it being so 'untouched for God knows how many years' lol. As I can't control my health, weather and when...

    Custom Knife makers, are there any left?

    I get your point. Hand made and custom made fall into strange damp grey areas.. they really do. It's even harder to consider the definition of 'handmade' with the amount of machines involved in some makers' process. And 'custom'.. when like you said,most are repeated designs. It's harder...

    Making a Mushroom Knife: for a BCUK Member!

    Oh my! it's been far too long sicne I started this and to no fault of sunndog, all me and my annoying health lol. Anyway, I had to make a fresh blank as to get the shape just right and today finally managed to drill out the anter for the tang, soften the tang to drill for a pin, drill the...

    Hultafors heavy duty and OK4

    Very old pictures of mine, but an idea of the tang atleast. Robbi, get the hd. I cannot be beaten for value and if it is sk5 steel.. then that just makes it even more shocking how such value still exists. Epect to do some fine tuning to refine the edge and spine though if you want it performing...

    Hultafors heavy duty and OK4

    The Hultafors heavy duty is beyond bargain value. It's comically cheap and brilliant quality! I had one for a while before rehandling it for kicks. My brother also has one and several others, even though he's not interested in knives it is indeed his go to knife in the man cave and he likes it...

    How many turbo snakes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    The End of Internet Knife Sales. Law change could target one-hand opening folders

    Lol turbo snake? I see how we could easily cheat their proposals with vague content descriptions on our parcels. Always been a thing tbh, but soon a necessity I guess.. Thanks for the info guys. Aslong as there no instant change when many of us could have items bought pre ban etc then I guess...
