I think you have developed a new style/ancient style bushcraft knife there.The Mk111 is a real stunner and begs to be used.

Right thats it....


You know you are officially sad when not only do you muse about mosaic pins, but you spot the smock is ventile as the picture downloads and are pleased to be proved right. When you can spot a singtek pouch complimenting the knife you really need to get out more.........

Lovely work Snufkin - the nicest yet

Been a bit busy of late, and the weather hasn't been great but I've done another. Needs a bit more work on the edge. Excuse the poor pics.

Stabilized walnut handle with a couple of leather spacers.

I did get the forge fired up today and heat treated another blade, it's in the oven tempering now. Shorter than this one, and convex ground. It'll probably get an alder root handle with some birch bark spacers.

Now that one is truly gorgeous Reaaly fine - I love these knives and the slimmer blade makes that the nicest yet! Wow!

Excellent work, Snufkin. That looks like a good user with fine style! Todd

 

[beowolf762]

another fine knife

 

[jojo]

Now that's a really nice knife, Snufkin. Did you make the pin yourself? and where do you get these beautiful woods you are using? :You_Rock_

 

[singteck]

That's very nice. Looks beautiful

But it seems to have lost that kitchen knife ability

[Snufkin]

Thanks guys,
Singtek yeah, I prefer the broadseax myself but you have to experiment don't you?
Jojo didn't make the pin, that was just an off the self purchase from Brisa. The stabilized woods come from here . Nice people to deal with. The laburnun from the first knife was from a firewood seller who thought it was too good to burn. I think I have some left, it's not as nicely figured but I'll dig some out for you before the next meetup.

 

[British Red]

If its not to your tasted Snuffers old boy, perhaps you should sell it

 

[Shinken]

Wow this thread has moved on!

I like the stick tang one especially!

 

[Stew]

I think that last one is my favourite so far!

Really nice.

 

[jojo]

Thanks Snufkin for the laburnum, I haven't got any of this wood. I really must get organised for hardening my blades now. I have been real busy with carving signs before xmas and haven't had the time. I suppose its going to stop dead now and i'll have more time on my hands

 

[Snufkin]

This ones about 4 3/4" bladelength, sallowroot handle, green fibre spacers with silversteel pins. I've got to let the handle dry for a few days then I'll acid treat the blade and put an edge on it.

 

[singteck]

That's looks very "clean". You spent a lot of time polishing that one up! Very nice like all the rest

I have spent a few days using mine, even thought it's wider then most blade, it's still very easy to use. Peeled lots of potatoes with it and I can't find any fault with the design. Feels like it would make a fine chopper in the woods too with the extra weight on the blade.

singteck who is very happy with his

Now I really like the looks of these,very nice.Iam in no way an expert on knives and blades so could anyone explain the advantages and disadvantges of such knives!
