Dave Budd FLOWER POWER!

[Dave Budd]

I posted this on BB earlier, but thought I should share here too

I've long had a hankering to make a girly knife, but haven't really worked it out yet. So when I started to make my own micarta last year I though Bingo! then I lost my workshop

So now that I am making again, I made a few flowery knives in time for the Midland Game Fair. So, here are the first three with my Floracarta

Just because I could

I've got a few more daft things that I'll post pics off in due course. It's good to be making again

Cool. The only danger is my girl taking it to school. She has no concept of a knife as a weapon and could easily make that mistake.

Very girlie Dave,how did they go down at the midland ?

Dave those are excellent How cool are those ? No one is going to look at someone carrying that and think, "Weapon ! "
I bet they'd sell to the gardening and herbology crowd too.


I must repeat, "I'm not having any more knives, I'm not having any more knives".............I got two this month alone Himself is starting to look askance again

atb,
Toddy

They are a stroke of madness, but a fun one

Strangely it was mostly men that picked them up at the Midlands. I'm not sure if that says more about the women or the men that attend that show?!

I've got some more fabric waiting for lamination, one is nicely refined for the classy lady

make the handle reflective and bingo, a mirror and eye liner sharpener

They are certainly different! Reckon they would go down well with women who have allotments

I've been looking at alot of you knives Dave, outstanding craftsmanship.
Im looking at getting someone to make me one (not the girlie one though!!!!!)

ah go on, you know you want to At least you won't be another pasty middle aged geek buying a big knife as a penis extension

I tell ya Dave, my knives get put through the works with all the carving and playing around i do. The RM types of knife just dont do it for me. Far too expensive and shiny, and i want my own blade, that fits me, not another clone Its mental the prices those RM knives go for!!!

I love that forged finish you have on your blades, damn sexy for a knife!

Saw these at the Midland I was one of the men that Dave refers to

They are good little knives

Can they be done in lace for the more choosy collector?

Cheers,

what do you fancy? Black or red lace?

 

[spamel]

Sheath carry could be a bayonet frog type, made from an old set of lacy suspenders! Real "Bush" craft!

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

OMG !!! I see a whole new market starting up

 

[stevesteve]

I was actually thinking of the look on SWMBO's face "I've bought you something lacy for Xmas!"

"Here it is..."

The thing is, I think my wife would be quite happy about ti too!
Cheers,
Steve
