Its they are made using loveless or corbys you wont be able to get them off without destroying.

You can get thinner epoxies - west systems is very thin but youd have to buy a lot of it! As Stew says 5 min epoxy is thick. Ive used this super glue hybrid before that worked really well: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p61316 Only thing with standard superglue is it is very brittle - so...

Best solution for sure! I was going to say you would be welcome to come down to Bournemouth and I could look at it for you, but fallkniven will be best i imagine!

Where abouts are you based mate?

Great work!

Thank you for taking so much time to write such detailed ffeedback- i really appreciate it :-) The knife is much like how i make my ffurniture- simple clean lines and relativity unadorned. I will learn more in time im sure but for now my blade shapes are born from a belt sander in a vice...

This is great, much nicer than a lifeventure!

Thanks for the input Bob! Leather work is something I'm yet to turn my hand to, and I'm very much a 'keep it in house' kinda guy. Kydex can be a surprisingly good option once you get used to it - but it doesnt have that time aged look to it, doesnt get that patina you see in heirloom materials...

Hello everyone! Hope you're all well, my names Elliott Trent and I'm an aspiring knifemaker - I've actually sold a knife here the other day and was wondering if I could get some input from you bushcrafty fellas. This is the knife I'm currently making, I've sold a few so far and they seem...

Very kind of you John thank you so much! Look forward to hearing your thoughts

Really is so tidily done! Tailoring is an art!

That looks surprisingly usable!

Hey bud, It can be a little difficult to tell pale woods apart, especially when they are wet and in smaller sections, Horse chestnut isnt an ideal timber to work with but im sure itl work, youll see a lot more use out of the sycamore Be careful with staining as they dry and if you intend to...

This is really great! I love the idea of finding something made like that
