Just thought I would show this Bushie was one of the last I made as a full time maker,
o1 tool steel, Stabilised Spalted Maple Scales, Blue liners, Mosaic pins, and centre hidden bolt, with matching fire steel.
Thanks for looking

Mick,

It is a real shame you are giving up making knives. Your skill is so refined. Your knives are easily amongst the best I have seen. I am sure your reasons for giving up have something to do with either time or money. I hope one day you will be in a position to return to something that you have amazing talent in. Until then we will all have to make do with lesser mortals!

Thanks for everything Mick.

Sorry to hear you are giving up Mick, you do great work. This is a favourite of mine, i just wish i had the money to buy a finished knife from you rather than just a blade.

 

[climberslacker]

All jokes aside, were did you get the pins and lanyard hole?

 

[Bushcraft4life]

Fantastic work as per usual Mick.

Climberslacker i am not sure where Mick gets his Mosaic pins and lanyard from but i get mine from Dennis at Brisa https://www.brisa.fi/portal/index.php?option=com_oscommerce&osMod=index&cPath=96_72

In fact i think Mick gets his lanyard from here as well.

Retirement, had my Mum ill, spent a week charging back and forth to the Hospital, she's pulled through now though , my Daughter fell down some stairs and done her ankle so had to have her two boy's, then my wife went ill, and this morning I have been round my Daughters flat because the high winds had blown her balcony doors off nearly

And I have only had time to make these last week, and the one with handle had a duff bit of stabilsed wood so had to repair it and sell it cheap on BB
