An entirely new knife.............

[scanker]

PLEASE, PLEASE!

Looks like an acorn on the pin?

Can't see the other engraving very well, some oak leaves, and what else?

AHH, 'tis a squirrel!

I thought it looked like a Red Kite in profile on the first photo of the pin. Was that BR's old avatar?

Ah. Beaten to the post by Stuart. Definitely a work of art. Beautiful.

Red...I was going to try to persuade you that it was a bit rough for a man of your standing and you might as well let me have it....put I'm not sure you'd accept my argument..

Beautiful job Stuart....stunning :notworthy

 

[Shinken]

Wowawhoooower, the best bushknife i have seen!

 

[g4ghb]

VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY nice! - well worth the wait

Is SO shiny that its hard to see the engraveing easily so It must be stunning in the flesh!

 

[madrussian]

Stuart you are an artist. Fantastic work. Red, I am soooooooooooooo jealous.

:You_Rock_

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

That is truely a knife for life, bet ya gonna get buried with it, or failing that, give it to me

Im lost for words, so i'll just look at the pics again

:notworthy

Home now.

I can't think of a sutable emoticon right now.

All I can say is that knife has become much, much more than I imagined Stu - a humble thanks to you and your fellow craftsmen.

I once was lucky enough to handle a handmade Purdey shotgun with engraved plates and presentation grade wood. Quite genuinely I think this knife has the edge in terms of looks

Thanks.

Red

By the way - serious question - have you ever made a better knife?

 

[JonnyP]

Thats lovely Stuart, work of art mate.....
Red.....You driving to Sheffield now then...?

I am glad you are back and moreso that you are pleased

This is all your design Red, all I did was translate that design into raw materials...

As for better knives... No mate, I don't think so....

It will be with you tomorrow

You've hit the nail on the head there Red

Jon,

Don't think I wasn't tempted - I may well go out to meet the postie in the morning though

Oh and Stu bawlhicks - I crayoned - you built. Many schoolboys crayon fantasy cars - few are ever luck enough to have the real craftsmen take over and see something in the flesh.

The only thing I can improve is some photos of the engraving - I can imagine its a pig to get against the silver though - I may have a try tomorrow (when I've finished cuddling it)

Great, I am pleased to hear that...

I could do with some better ones myself

This is the most beautifull knife I've ever seen! I'm not kidding. That is truly amazing. I've got about 350£. If I wasn't going to Scotland this fall, I might be designing one myself.

This knife is perfect. Al my knives are very humble in comparison to this one.

Excellent work Mr. Mitchell and Red!:You_Rock_

*going to my bushcraft knife and trying to feel content about it*

 

[michiel]

Just one more thing. I remember a contest between the PFK and the Fallkniven F1. Any update on that Red?

oh BTW: I think the PFK will SMOKE the F1

 

[BorderReiver]

Absolutely STUNNING Stuart.

The guys at BB would appreciate a picture or two I'm sure.

Give it a cuddle for me Red.

 

[British Red]

Will do BR.

We'll do the comp michiel - just waiting to get my hands on it and get "familar"

Red

 

[shaunmcdonald]

That is really something else it looks like it will be one of those family hierlooms passed down for generations to come.
The whole package is the nicest thing i have seen for a long time

 

[michiel]

And make sure to make plenty of pics. By plenty I mean, well I don't know. How about 100 pics?

Have a lot of fun with your knife and I'm awaiting the first action pics.
