This pretty much sums up my opinion too.

Sweet. Gratuitous knife pictures are not what they once were on here. So plaster up many more.

Here you go. I’ve taken it so there’s no lens distortion. It measures 220mm. If you enlarge the image onscreen and then trace it, you’ll get an accurate profile. Or just print it out to that size. I’m technically incapable of doing that so I use the first method :bigok:

If I take a picture of one dead on from above with the length, you can make a template from that. Bear with me 10mins.

The handle looks very palm filling. Something I really like in a knife.

Beautiful. Good to see your stuff again.

Hi Kat and welcome. I’m sure you will find what you are looking for. Many of us have formed strong friendships and meet regularly.

I think we all did. Swooning over the Survival Aids catalogue with the Wilky survival and Buck etc. Then John Fenna burst the bubble by telling everyone it was crap:buttkick:

I remember. I saw one of the two I had commissioned come up for sale not so long back for a nuts amount. Although there were only two made.

Definitely not. It’s very much of its time. It’ll do the job for sure if it was pressed and they’re exceptionally well made. The hollow handle weak tang argument doesn’t hold water as Jimmy excecuted it very well. But it’s not for me. I’d put it more in the combat/survival category too.

They are Andy Wood made copies. He had the Lile licence to produce high end replicas at one point. Probably the most accurate reproductions out there, and the level of detail is insane to the 6 screen used ones made by Jimmy Lile. I have a LILE stamped one, but I’d be off my rocker to use...

Welcome to BcUK

That’s easily sorted. There's loads of external hosting sites that are free. I used photobucket for years until they started charging. They’re dead simple to use.

I did have some pics of the saw results as it was happening. Maybe Clem has them.

Very well. I think they got a bad rap from the mass produced replicas. But a hand made one with full flat grind with the bottom of the saw teeth narrower than the edge, makes them very effective. Surprisingly so. Even batons OK if it wasn’t for the teeth chewing the baton up.

I’d didn’t, it was a forum glitch. That got progressively worse when I tried to fix it :lmao:

Whatcha Bill. Yeah, we are still together. Poppy is now a young adult and is at college studying hard to become an entomologist. She joined up here during covid, but unfortunately didn’t stick around due to a few snarky people not being able to deal with her enthusiasm. But to be fair...

He is a bit diminutive. But he makes up for it in attitude.

Yup. Can’t argue with that.

Here’s something to make HillBill happy. A couple of years back FerlasDave, Clem and I met up in the Welsh wilderness to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of First Blood. It was after all, one massive influence for those of us that grew up in the 80’s. We had a hi def projector, Lile knives...
