Howdy all,
Knowing my interest in making knives - or rather putting handles on the blades and making the sheaths a good fried has asked if i can supply eating knives for a medeival banquit.
Ten in all (not to mention the variouse bowls and othe rprojects i need to get done for christmas), but im exceedingly loath to turn him down. After all its very nice to be asked.
Ive found some ash, oak and silver birch already dried in my little store, i know the oak will be a bu**er now its dried out and the silver birch is a bit soft for a handle but for what they are i think i can make do. Im thinking compoud with antler or bone at the top then silver birch and then oak at the end. Fortunately they dont need sheaths so thats the bit i find hardest not to worry about (yet).
So my question is anyone know of a decent (isnt going to be used for woodwork - just eating) economy blade that wont cripple my bank account?
I have looked here;

All ideas wecome!!
thanks
