Knife from odd bits and pieces

[mick spain]

Thought I would show this knife I decided I would make it from some of the bits and pieces laying on the bench and floor of my workshop the blade is 4-3/4"x 7/8"x 1/8" handle 4-1/4" it's made from 01 and so are the bolster & butt cap, leather, handle liner, sewing thread.

Wow, very nice. Looks strong and sleek!

I'm doing a smithing course at the moment and items like this are a real inspiration.

I only make knives with micarta if a customer asks for it, but I don't like the smell of it although it's nice to work, I don't keep it in stock. I like wood without liners I prefer basic knives that are for work, I couldn't own a knife without using it,
Ive got one on ebay now (don't know if Im allowed to say that )

Same here. If you wouldn't mind me asking. How much would you charge for a bushcraft knife ray mears style. I currently use frosts clippers because they are cheap and quite durable but as somebody has told me, if you invest in a knife that is quality and hand made it will last you a really long time(providing you look after it).

At the moment using wood that I have like yew, oak, cocobolo, with sheath £175 + P&P( I think I should have done that on a PM)

I'll start counting my pennies then shall i . Thats a good price for a handmade knife. I'll let you know if i am going to get one. More than likely end of the month. I will drop you an email if i decide to invest in one.

Cheers
