As promised, a photo of the knife as it is now with the new blade made for it by Mark, Hillbill of this parish........I'm not the best photographer in the world, so forgive the poor pic.

I'm very pleased indeed with how this turned out and I'm glad I went with the sheepsfoot blade as I find it a very useful shape in this size of knife; What do you think?

Rubbish!!

Absolutely terrible job, stick it in the post to me and I'll dispose of it for you so you don't have to suffer looking at it

That's a beauty Mac, and never mind what Steve says, whats he know anyway.

You're a gent and a scholar for making such a selfless offer, but I just couldn't put you through such misery; I'll just have to bear the burden myself

Are there any people making these new?

Jean-Michel Remaud does...

Nice one Mac

 

[Macaroon]

And nice one Mark - you made exactly the right thing for the knife mate

I'll know where to come when mine gets worn down Mark, great job. They are brilliant little knives, sharpened well they can give Opinels a run for their money and last decades longer! You had a great find there Mac.
