basic bushtools

[robevs73]

I have for sale two bushtools, they are the same razor sharp 01 58rc scandi blades I always make but I have handled them with plain elm and apple woods, brass pins/tubes to keep costs down, I am offering them for sale sheath-less at £75 EACH POSTED TO uk international postage will be a little extra. I can make a plain leather belt sheath for another £20 or kydex with leather loop for £25

Whipe the blade after every use when any moisture gets on it and store it with a bit of oil (not vegetable based) on it. The handle has had 6 coats of linseed oil and coat of wax, after a few goes the wax will rub off you can then take some "oooo" wirewool to the handle quick rub over with the wirewool then oil and repeat up to 10 times, do this as often as you feel necessary.

Google "Ballistol" it's a fantastic oil that treats metal, wood, leather and can even be used as an antiseptic !!
