I get mine from http://www.theidentitystore.co.uk/default.asp I find the website easier to navigate than others and the service is great and friendly. The clincher for me though was that they have a much smaller minimum leather order size than most places.

Thanks guys

Thanks Chris, The antler does have a sharp transition but you hand naturally sits behind it. the corner is also not a sharp one, I guess it is just difficult to see because it is so white.

Hi guys, This is my latest commission and my first knife with a makers mark. The knife is 4mm O1 steel and 220mm long (as if you couldn't guess!) The handle is red deer antler with stabilized sycamore, mosaic pins and black liners. Honest comments and criticism always...

Thanks guys. If anyone is interested this one is for sale over on BB

Thanks guys. If you wanted to see my progress you can on my BB profile hear (I think its better linking to that instead of spamming you with pics of crap knives :p)

Thanks guys

Hi guys, I am a bit of a lurker on this site but thought you might like to see my latest. I am pleased with the way it came out. It was ground from a 3mm thick twist pattern damascus billet of 1095 and 15N20 with stabilized maple scales, brick red liners and mosaic pins. The blade is 98mm and...

Hi Eric. Thanks for posting this, its a really great tutorial. What do you use for wax? Daniel.

Thanks Robin. This is only the first of many spoons and it will be used but ill use walnut oil on my future spoons and other products.

Thanks, i use it on my knives and the smell does take weeks to go but i do like the stuff!

I made my 1st spoon a few days back from my xmas tree and have put a few coats of Liberon danish oil on it, it says its a 'blend of pure tung oil and natural oils' I probably should have asked this before but is it safe to eat from? its quite stinky stuff when not 100% dry They say its...

Xunil summed it up very well (especially regarding stropping). I have seen pics of nasty chips out of D2 blades, its brittleness is due to its high chromium content which almost reaches stainless steel levels but this makes it more resistant to corrosion than O1. Personally i would go with O1...

if it truly is a laminated blade with a harder core and softer sides then i would consider that price almost a steal

the rivets to hold the belt loop to the sheath are not covered, there is a high probability that over time they will scratch the heck outta the wooden handle. apart from that its a nice looking knife, i just wonder what the thickness is and what exactly they mean by 'carbon steel laminate' and...

it might look a bit of an messy technique but he gets great results so its obviously a technique that's working for him and the vid has a great conclusion it really shows the effectiveness of strops with suitable compound compared to the very expensive super fine grit stones

i got one of these a few days ago it was quite dull when i got it but sharp enough so i only needed to strop it till it could take hairs off. i just have a piece of veg tan leather glued to a piece of wood with some compound on it and followed the angle of the bevels. I made my 1st spoon out of...
