Farmers knife - £20
A real work horse knife. This is a slipjoint with a 3" blade so is legal every day carry. Made by W. Kneissler, these knives aren't 100% perfect in form but are great in function. The cow horn scales do not fit perfectly to the bolster and the pivot pin protrudes slightly. The blade stop and back spring are not a square fit. None of these 'flaws' affect how the knife works. I have slightly rounded where the scales meet the bolster but never got round to finishing it completely.
Old photos showing the scales before I did any shaping:

The blade was originally flat ground with a secondary bevel. I chose to convex the edge and it is wickedly sharp. The blade shows the start of a patina.
VB-16 Torch - £25
A torch from Hong Kong.
This torch uses CR123A batteries. It uses two batteries but you can remove a section of the body and only use one if desired.
The torch has a dimmer switch so it can be used at a high intensity or low intensity - there are 16 different light levels.
The pouch is very secure with a velcro closure on the main flap and a strap across the side as well. It has a button down flap for easy fitting and removal to you belt or a fixed loop if you prefer. It also has a d ring for clipping it onto something
I'll include the batteries that are currently in it. I have no idea on how much life they have left in them but the torch is still bright!

Dave Budd blade with Oupa handle - £60 - Now £50
This knife has a blade forged by Dave Budd (but it does not bear his maker's mark in a visible place as it was sold as a bare blade) and a handle put together by Oupa.
The knife is 215mm long with a blade approx 102mm long.
The handle is made from Purpleheart, Ebony and has copper and brass decoration.
It doesn't come with a sheath as I didn't get round to making one and I have too many other projects on the go so would like it to go to a loving home where it will be treated properly!
I can recommend some sheath makers if required.
All prices include postage and paypal fees.
