Hi Guys As you can see it is my usual style..cough…puff…..errrr, but perhaps a lil litler. :) I have marked it out and cut it to shape from a piece of 01 flat stock carbon steel - what do you think so far??? Tracy.. :)

Hi Guys I tried to post this question yesterday JoJo, but i was having problems with accessing. I was wondering what fuel you used in your Rayburn, was it anthracite, coal, charcoal, and i thought the way you did your heat treatment was extremely resourceful and imaginative. And oh, by...

Hi Greg I suppose i could put both hands in one glove - how's that??? ;) Thank you, you are very kind, but i think there will be people who would love to have them, whose hands they will fit, once people know they are here. But hey...........if you have still got them in a...

Hi Guys I've been working on this one for a while and have just finished it. Nice handy little bushy but with my own unmistakable look to it - i'm told. Thuya burr on an 01 blade, full convex grind, 220mm long overall and matching firesteel. What do you think? Tracy.. :)

Hi Tom Can you tell us a bit more or even show us a picture and it would depend on what you were using your knife for, would depend on the angle that you would apply. A good general purpose angle is said to be 20 degrees. Tracy

Hi Guys I thought i would take a picture for you - these three pieces are all holly. You can see the pattern and the movement of the grain can look very similar to olivewood and has been mistaken for each other on occasion. The smallest piece at the bottom is 6" across and if you look...

Hi Guys Can i ask first of all, what is the handle for, i can't see whether you intend to use it as slabs on a knife, a shaft for an axe, a handle for a spoon - i don't know you haven't said. Holly is not necessarily featureless, patternless and colourless and can even look like good...
