A couple of recent knives

[brancho]

I have rebalded the Leuku handle and made a replacement of the Polar whittler due to the previous one being lost in the post. They are made for a BB member.

Stunning work (as per usual). It's always a pleasure looking at knives that you have made Alf.

Its even better when you own one of his knives - I've not seen a knife that Alf's made that I would not want to own.

Love the simplicity, type of finish, and handle shapes.
Nice work Alf.

I love what you did with that Leuku... what a nice handle.

Thanks Addo the small knife handle shape was partly dictated by the size of the round of wood it was made from which was almost a problem on the leuku.

Nice work bud

Thanks for that

I love what you did with that Leuku... what a nice handle.

This is the second shot at it and I prefer this myself the guy they are for was very specific on shape but the crosscut pieces were my choice.
