Just finished another S4 type in 01 this time.

Hi folks.

I got this finished yesterday for a chap on British Blades. Thought i would show it on here.

This one is in 3mm 01, stainless bolster and tubes and black G10 for that handle. No liners this time

Hope you like it. Comments/critique welcome

[swotty]

That's lovely...stunning work the G10 looks really good..

 

[Man of Tanith]

looks handsome fella.
like the sheath too

 

[HillBill]

Cheers guys

Crikey that's a bit nice.

 

[British Red]

Thats very nice - I like it more than the original with the more ergonomic scales. I would go with something like CPM or RWL though......feels like it needs a "super steel"

 

[EarthToSimon]

Wow, I really like that. Is this the one you showed me before the handle was finished when I was up at yours?

Mark's knives and customer service is excellent and he makes great tea, Picked up my set on Thursday

Still trying to get the light balance right to show how nice the wood is, but it's perfect.

Could you clear out your inbox please mate

 

[HillBill]

Cheers guys

Red - I normally do them in RWL-34, i'm just about to start another one on monday.

Simon - yeah its the same one mate.... bit different now eh? Inbox cleared

The S4 was my favourite knife ever until now! I need one of them in my life.

Be interesting to see something like that with an S1 length blade

 

[Steve13]

That is nice

 

[plastic-ninja]

Is that the Gladius you were talking about Mark?
I think it looks better than the original too.Very clean lines
and contours all ironed out beautifully.
Seriously classy.
Cheers , Simon

 

[HillBill]

Thanks chaps

Red- might have a try at some point Not enough hours in a day anymore, lol

Simon - the gladius will be made soon enough, It just seems the more i try do... the more i end up doing for others and everything i want to try gets put on hold for a bit.... Still, i'm happy to be able to pay the bills

 

[British Red]

Yeah sorry - - your designs get my "wow, what more cool things can we suggest" neurons firing

 

[HillBill]

Nothing wrong with that mate Wish i could just knock em all out. I can do it, just getting the time to do it can be the problem

 

[brancho]

Great looking knife and sheath
G10 not to my taste though it will be for many.

 

[Albus Culter]

Very nice. Love the blade. Looks a good weight to handle and use.

 

[HillBill]

Thanks guys.

Alf, i never liked the idea of G10 before i started working with it, but it is so strong its unbelievable. It has downsides.... namely it kills my bandsaw blades and the dust is horrid, but it sands easily and is totally impervious to the elements. I like it for those reasons
