Back making again after a year out.

[HillBill]

Hi all.

I havent really made any knives for the last year or so. I have just started back up again. I've made a few these last couple of weeks and i'm sure the folk who recieved the knives will post pics up at some point.

For now though here's one i've just finished for a customer who i don't think uses the forums.

It's a woodlore "style" knife though not exactly a clone.

Its in 3mm 01 with a yew handle and black liners.

Hope you like it, all comments welcome.

Thanks
Mark

Thats very nice indeed... Do you have a picture of the top of the knife? (to show the palm swell/shaping)

That looks a very comfortable handle.

that's really nice, it looks like a slightly scaled down lightweight woodlore, i reckon that it'd be a great user.

nice sheath too, plain and basic, i like that kind of thing

Thanks for the comments, all appreciated

TBL I don't have a top down pic unfortunately, i've just posted the knife too. Its oval shaped with some light contouring on the underside. I've found through trial and error that too much contouring is detrimental to overall performance as it makes it comfortable in one grip and not so comfortable in others. I'll take some pics of the next one

Cheers Duncan It does feel good to be back at it i must say.

Cool..!

I know what you mean about too much, or even little. That just looks seriously comfortable though... Very nice lines

I didn't know that

I've yet to see one of yours in the flesh Duncan. They look good in pictures though, especially the large Nessies JD had for review

yours are a particular PITA for kydex as there's little to lock round and every thing tapers up took me 3 goes on the first one before i was happy ,, Scandinavian Pukkos are the same

if your interested in any Blade blanks give me a shout either mine or your design

Confession time, I sold it on mate. I had a bit of a go ages ago but my epoxy was naff so the scales fell off the day after
