Thanks chaps, just need to get some images up of the handle choices :)

Is it flat plate or round? If flat I'd use it for general tool steel things like cutting dies for making wooden dowels or work surfaces on grinders and that, Might be good for knives but I've not seen it used heavily

Dont sell yourself short my friend! Ive got a long way to go, I just have a small head start because of my woodworking background is all :)

Grinding the ferro rod was very exciting to watch hahaha

I never got around to posting this pic, this is the handle shape, and how it nestles into that nook in your hand, it's what i like to call a coffin shape!

I didnt mean to imply Birch was soft - it isnt - was jus saying how domestics and non exotics are under utilised in knifemaking

Thanks ! I've just added custom options on the page, will add sample photos as soon as I can get them for different handle materials

Is it online now? Thanks!

Hey bud! Yeah I had some kind of technical issue with it, fixed now!

Lovely job, wicked blade shape

Yeah - its a common misconception that knife handles must be made of an excpetionally hard wood, there are so many hardwoods that get neglected! I did some further refining on that scandivex grind today, I think I'm going to make a batch of 4 of these in some differing scale materials this...

You're welcome to have some wood sent down to me and ill dimension it for you to get you started - if you cover postage

Makers mark is a 9v battery etch with a vinyl stencil :-) The laced figure timbers like london plane, elm and sycamore are less used i think because people may deem them too soft, they arnt any means soft but compared to exotics like cocobolo or wenge they would be. Our native timbers like ash...

Scandivex, london plane

I got a T3 Tilley the other day, olive standard ray mears type version, I would usually size maybe 7 3/4 but took 8 (yes I have a big head) and its perfect!

Have 12 blanks (10 full size, 2 offcut stubby ones) painted up with descaler ready for the kiln tomorrow morning, think out of the 10 full size it will be 3 FFG, 3 sabre and 2 scandis - I imagine to sell them here I'll need to upgrade to maker plus but I'll contact the mod team and let you know!

True, althought some very precise drilling would be required on whats more than likely curved surfaces haha

Wanted to have a go at a straight blade aimed for use in my woodwork shop, the make great tools for cleaning out joints! This is in o1, scottish elm, red liners and cf pins Thanks!
