Thought you were going to have a go at makeing yourself mate!

anyway, give me a shout mate - I may be able to help you out if you are feeling impatient!

If you're up for making one like this, then the blade for that knife is a Lapplander 90 Hunting Knife which are available as blank blades for you to handle.

 

[Shinken]

I would recommend having a go yourselves if you have the confidence. Very satisfying using a knife you made yourself!

 

[Dougster]

Are the blades carbon or stainless - why do you rate them? I am looking to make my own, but I think it will be a while before I can do this level of stuff.

I have already started - I await a couple of little blades from BB and am putting in an order with G4GHB for some more. I spent two enthralling hours on the metal lathe today (GCSE kids in exams) making aluminium and brass bolsters from some scrap bar, making them the right size and drilling a hole through the centre.

I am off to a local little shoe repair place this w/e to get some leather for the handle and sheath, and I have an array of wood to stack handles. The rasp and files are ready, with emery and brasso - and a couple of sheets of wet and dry. I will post any (decent) results.

I am well and truly hooked - I thought I would never be that bad again after spoons.

Doesn't beat a full tang 01 blade from a master though - one day.

Nice knife

 

[Dougster]

Shinken, I took your advice, I got the next length blade up though. And I've done a half tang. Thanks for the prompt.

Nice one Richeadon,
You realise that you're already over the lip of a long and slippery slope
You might think that a blade from a master bladesmith is the ultimate but you can have a huge amount of fun making your own blades, have you seen "greenpete's" website? That inspired me to have a go and I haven't looked back since.
