A wrights Re-grind

[Rockmonkey]

Just to show my appreciation to a gifted man known on this Parish as Longstrider!
Thanks for doing a wonderful re-grind on my knife!
Just a few pic's to show you lot.
A re-grind, recently bottle necked handle, also chamfered down by the blade end so i can get my thumb on the blade for closer work, and thanks to Kepis from this parish for a wonderful sheath!
This is now one lovely knife!
Thanks for looking!!!!

Looks very nice. It seems a few people have had the A Wright reground. Did you get that grind a bit higher, and if so why? I'm thinking of getting one of these. It looks like a cracker. Is that the rosewood handle?

I've regroups one for someone - the stock is too low of an angle. Depending on what you want, you could end up spending as much rectifying issues as just buying something different in the first place.

Interesting . Thanks for that Stew, that's good advice. It's a really mixed bag on the opinion of this knife. Certainly the stock grind looks too low to me.
Such a shame as it's a British blade that they don't seem to want to change.

The amount of extra work in this....

Really nice looking knife. Did you put curly birch (?) scales on it as well?

I reckon you could make a better choice in the first place. I tried a friends one of these over several weeks and couldn’t get it sharp enough to do much with due to the low scandi grind, it just didn’t take an edge due to the low grind. It was hopeless for carving, any sort of food prep, it drilled good holes and batoned like a wood maul. A total disappointment, there are far better and more versatile knives out there for around that price. I’d never go 4mm on a trad bushy anyway, 3-3.5mm maybe.

I put the scales on - high quality yew burr!

Cool, thanks Nice65. This is pretty much the conclusion I'm getting to.
4mm is pretty chunky. I'll keep researching!
