Knife for a friend

[Dougster]

Got a good friend who is a Cabinet maker, he makes truly stunning items, and generously, gives me lots of wood to play with.

I made him this as a thanks, with some of the walnut and yew he gave me:

Makes a change from the stabilised stainless I do almost all the time now:

 

[Retired Member southey]

Yew could have at least made him something half decent

 

[crosslandkelly]

Nice work. That Yew looks beautiful. Cheers.

 

[ex-member Raikey]

i love yew

 

[HillBill]

Nice one

 

[Kepis]

Lovely job Dougster, the contrast between the two woods is stunning

 

[bushwacker bob]

Very sweet Rich, What blade is it?

 

[Perrari]

I'm Sure your friend will be very happy to receive that.

 

[Dougster]

Thanks all - I think it's one of those £8 Karesuuando blades in Carbon.

Have to say I'm far happier with full tang knives.

Thats a beuty Rich. It does indeed look like a Karesuuando blade. What blades are all those stabalised numbers on? Are they devals?

No, Devals are made by Stuart Mitchell, those look like Duncan aka FYGT from Dorset Woodland blades, work

They are actually my design for a deer stalking knife, with input from a friend who is a full time stalker.

There are a few knocking about here, but this lot are all with deer stalkers. Duncan does make them for me.

 

[Totumpole]

Also very nice - i have seen that raised bit of the spine on a few knife designs now.

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Very nice indeedy buddy. I bet it fits great in the hand!

I'm loving the scales in the last picture (third in) ?

 

[Dannytsg]

Very nice, it looks to have a lovely handle profile.

Cheers mate, John seemed happy today and is off to whittle - normally he is in his workshop.

That third wood is spalted beech, just bought another shed load of it from Pikebite. The man does immense wood.

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Mmmm... Who would have thought it was just humble spalted beech

Yep, I've heard nothing but good about PB's scales. Nice work there.

 

[Mafro]

Stunning knives there mate, good work

 

[Man of Tanith]

all of those knives look very nice and useable
