This is my latest haul, haven't had a chance to take a decent pic but it's a peach.
Designed by Mr. Cooper
Blade by Mr. Wood
Scales by Mr. Mitchell
Only change i made from the original version was to have Alan extend the grind a little compared to the original.
Now Alan doesn't normally offer blades only but i tortured him until he agreed to make me this, it then sat on my bench for 2 years waiting for inspiration.
Stuart Mitchell had made me a set with green micarta and red liners which i really like and i thought would look right on this so i asked him to finish the knife for me.
Stu was at first a little reluctant to work on another makers blade but eventually i talked him round and I'm delighted with the way it turned out.
I also sent him my original knife and asked him to copy it as closely as possible as the original scale profiles are just about perfect.
One big aesthetic improvement IMO is the solid bolts look much better than the ones on the original.
I always loved my original knife but didn't use it because i favour micarta scales over wood so at last i have a British Blades bushcrafter that i will be happy to use.
