Hi.....was very tricky trying to get so many curves done on my knackered old grinder in just a 2-inch space....so most shaping done with files....mammoth blades drop point necker with tambootie over black liners with brass loveless and mosaic lanyard. first time ive tried handling something so different than a ''woodlore clone''....thought it was going to be easier but not the case....hope you like!

i have to say I wouldn't dare to call myself a 'bush crafter', but even as a rank amateur/outsider the craftsmanship you guys exhibit is bloody impressive.

Angst,... I gotta say this is my new favorite, although I still very much favor your second knife, this one is a prize to look at
But please can anyone shed some light one perhaps how the double "pins" could be finished in ultimate neatness where you wont see the tiny edge,

Remarkable work angst I think I will need to ask my boss about working some extra days, perhaps even drop some school every now and then So I get one of your knives they look superb ^^
Yours sincerely Ruud

You've made a great job of that Sonni...i like the mosiac lanyard and it looks like you've finished the tambootie down nicely. Did you use any oil on the handle or have you polished it?

Looking good.
Lance.
