My first go at this pattern. The little sheepfoot blade is surprisingly useful for sharpening pencils and opening packages. The long blade is good for boning chicken and slicing oranges Sits very easily in the pocket too.

Rustic bone handled folder with O1 steel blade and thick brass liners. Its got the base of a Nato 7.62mm cartridge case for shield. Just under 3 inch long blade. I finished it with a fairly rough finish similar to other "primitive" or "frontier" style knives.

These are my new Explorer models. The one on top is the Explorer Standard and the larger one is the Explorer Max. Both knives are intended for all types of outdoor use from splitting wood for kindling to cutting veg for food. The large guard makes it much safer when used in cold wet conditions...

This is my latest scandi with stabilsed elm burr, it reminds me of a dashboard from a Jaguar MkII.

I like to think this is a bushcraft knife, its quite sturdy and the D2 blade keeps a good edge and is rust resistant. Best of all the open back makes it easy to clean, a problem I find with traditional folders that can get a bit gunky and you have to use a cotton bud and a bit of meths to give...

Its the first time I have used stag on a knife. I think it looks rather nice, slightly rustic nice and grippy.

Pics of my new small bushy knife (bottom) compared to a standard Bushy knife. Its got a 3 inch blade and 4 inch handle, handle is made of boxwood with red fibre liners. It feels nice in the hand for carving and is very light.

Here are some pics of the 3V knife I made earlier and waiting to test. In between the rain, I went used some wood kindly supplied by Diamond Dave. The pics show a branch, don't know what wood but it was fairly dry 2.75 inches in diameter. I put a new edge on the knife and chopped the branch...

This is a bush knife, 110mm long, 4mm thick O1 tool steel blade. Premium grade figured cocobolo handle book matched with red vulcanised fibre liners, 1/4 inch diameter brass rivets, brass lined lanyard hole. The handle is carefully shaped for comfort and control with a flare at the front of the...

This is my bushy knife made of CPM 3V steel, linen micarta riveted with nickel silver rod. I heat treated the 3V to maximum toughness and will be testing it soon with wood cutting and batonning to see how well it does compared to a standard knife with an O1 blade. CPM 3V is the toughest steel...

Here are some photos Cones on BB did for me, I hope you like them. They are a new design I did. Its a variation of the well known bushy knife with a full height grind to help with slicing and fine cutting but with the edge and tip kept quite thick for batoning and drilling. The handle is...

I would like to know where to buy some ash suitable for bowmaking. I understand air dried is better than kiln dried. I expect having to do quite a few before getting it right so don't want to spend a lot on a proper bow stave just yet.

Just finished this. Its got a D2 steel blade, 3.5mm thick, 75mm long with carbon fibre handles and red liners. Feels nice and slim in the hand.

I teach a knifemaking course which takes people who have never made a knife before through all the process to make a knife. My aim is to teach people to use readily avialable tools and materials to make a knife to a good standard. The tools materials I would recommend to people wanting to...

Just want to know what your favorite handle materials are? For looks, I really like burl desert iron wood, burl walnut and African blackwood because it takes a fine finish, I'm also very partial to well textured and colored stag. For durability, linen Micarta is very hard to beat and it look...
