thanks, it has a rhomboid cross section. the blade is about 4.5mm wide at its thickest but the spine is left about 2.5mm wide, which isnt too bad on the thumb. really need to start sourcing some better handle materials. have been using micarta for a long time which is fine but really wanting...

have been a little distracted with other jobs lately but did manage to finish this one today , a puukko in 52100 bearing steel. wasnt happy with the micarta section of the handle as the layers in the material were showing through (would much rather have had a solid material like bone) any way i...

carrying for self defense is a waste of time. if someone has it in there mind to stab you you wont have time to react before its all over. many many years ago (back in the late 70's) when i was 9 years old my friend was grabbed and stabbed multiple times in a playing park here in cornwall! by a...

i wish i had the production/editing skills to make an award winning short film about our plight and stick it on youtube... a bushcrafting person or knife maker, maybe both? a sensitive/considerate trust worthy? law abiding and decent person that just loves the countryside etc showing knives as...

at present i do not intentionally break the law nor would i in future. it is frustrating that i can legally post a knife but am often refused this by ignorant, opinionated, easily offended post office staff. have had to go to a completely different post office in the past to post a knife for no...

video's, games, fireworks, tobacco... this is worth reading and goes to show just how messed up our law is as doubt amazon will face prosecutionhttp://www.bromley.gov.uk/leaflet/248269/20/480/d

one thing for certian... if there isnt some provision left to post ie royal mail refuse to post knives many if not all UK knife makers will simply disappear and that'll be the end of UK custom/hand made knives. its hard enough making a living making knives as is and with 99% of my sales...

stop cutting police budgets! enforce current laws prohibiting under aged sales. obviously people arnt checking and have been getting away with it. and ensure signatures upon delivery of items ordered online. the whole reason for the internet sales ban argument is due to an under aged child...

i cant believe some of what im reading here, really? some need a tip some dont. i think as adults we should be trusted with pointy things! not since kindergarten have i had to use round nosed scissors. a fine tip allows you to do many things you cant do with a blunt tip, cutting in tight...

you cant argue with that can you... but thats the choice id make. and its your choice to subscribe but freedom it isnt... where do you draw the line and say enough is enough? when if im lucky!? im old and dying in my bed, i can look back and think on it. you are either free or you are not...

the people of this country gave up there freedom in exchange for "security" hundreds of years ago and are taxed heavily for it!, i for one never signed up for that. i want my FREEDOM! sounds ridiculous i know but... i want freedom to live how i choose, from tax, to hunt, to fish, to carry a...

well almost! little bit of polishing and a sheath needed. made from 5mm o1 but the blade with the grind is 4mm at its thickest leaving a nice thick tang. 100mm blade length and 230mm overall. used up some scraps of micarta, g10 and a little piece of kirinite for the handle and managed to get a...
