Car boot barrel knife

[heath]

Just wanted to show off my car boot bargain from today. I managed to haggle down to twenty quid, which is more than I usually pay for anything at a car boot, but I think it was worth it.

Its a barrel knife. The blade folds and is stored in the handle. They usually cost at least 3 times what heath paid.

Im going very green with envy.

All I found today was a dandy glass bead necklace. Am thinking of turning it into one of those viking ones but I doubt the Norse had one with beads in the shape of fruit somehow.

That is a beaut. Now I'm thinking about it, I'm kinda surprised there aren't more makers on here making them. There's clearly a ready market.

You could always buy a new one from my link. The prices start at about £135 for a birch one

There was someone making these at the Bushcraft Show last year.
His name escapes me but was an awfully nice chap and had a wide range
of very nice knives made by him too.
Cheers , Simon

Really? Would be interested to know who! (I bet I'm not alone! )

I've got one of these. Thanks for the post as I had no idea it was worth so much. I got mine in a junk shop for a couple of quid a few years ago. I bought it to remind me of the one that my uncle gave me when I was a boy and which I then promptly lost.
