This one is a bit late as he was my best man 3 years ago :P It is made from 01 tool steel, and wood is brown oak i salvaged from a traditional green oak timber frame that i was building. I had it stabilised by Pikebite and a good job it was too.

For those familiar with the spyderco sharmaker, this one has not got any rods to proteck fingers. But there is no need to press hard. Am thinking of putting two ends that are thicker than the plastic you you can lay the stone down and clamp it in flat. Easy to make and you could use...

So due to my wedding and housemoving i cant make any blades so am getting withdrawal symptoms for making knives. But i found some enzo blades that i had lying around so i managed to find a spare five minutes and knocked this up I owe a couple of people promises of knives as presents to them...
