They're really nice. I especially like the last red one. What sort of cost do they come in at.

 

[rapidboy]

Im not sure what he charges now but IIRC the last couple were £155

Spring fit closed

Spring fit half stop

Spring fit at open

O/all 170mm, blade sticks out 64mm

 

[chris_r]

All beautiful, but I think I may come up short on the wonga front. Very nice though.

They are made by a friend of mine, he's not a member on here but he posts on the British Blades forum under the user ID " Davidh"

I think David charges a bit more now, but you get what you pay for. They are the best fitted slippies I've ever seen.

Lawrence those are oustanding! i'v just pmed him now over on BB.

Does anyone make one? Ideally, I'm looking for something with a blade just under 3", 3mm thick, non locking, with a scandi grind and with provisions for a lanyard. I know it's asking a lot, but there's got to be something on the market.

Shing is asking for suggestions for new models on British Blades at the moment.
or tie a lanyard to the clip on a UKPK

Dennis at Brisa should have his in production soon as well.

I've long lusted after one of Davidh's folders and these photos have just reminded me why I love them.

However, Duncan's blade arrived this morning and I fitted it to my Peasant. It's thicker than the standard blade and makes the knife much more substantial. I'm really pleased with it and look forward to testing it out properly over the weekend.

So thanks Duncan, good work and good service.

Let us know how you get on, I really want one too! What grind did you get?

 

[FGYT]

ive now moved on to designing and making a prototype Modern Friction Folder

 

[BigM]

I got a scandi grind (20 deg). Nice weight to the blade but I'll possibly need to find a way to space the handle a little further to accommodate the extra thickness of the blade. Very sharp too.

Stop Duncan. Now I'm going to want one of those too and my PayPal account doesn't want to hear from me for a while!!!
