Mark Hill Knife :)

[Albus Culter]

I joined this forum a short while ago and my first purchase was a Mark Hill blank being sold off. Well this is what I did with it. It needs a sheath now, but that will have to wait while I sort some leather.
I hope you all like it. Tell me what you think.

The blank and the reindeer roll with red liners

Liners sanded and pilot holes drilled. I went with corby bolts in brass as well as lanyard tube.

All glued up. In hindsight I should have cut the scales to rough size now as it left more work once assembled.

Rough shape to my liking. I used my Woodlore as a benchmark as I find this comfy for me.

The finished article side by side for comparison

Well that's it. Fun work and a reminder of how much I love making knives.

Tidy stuff there mate.
I've been enjoying the teasers you've been sending me but seeing it all completed and next to the woodlore it really looks stunning.

What's next for you off the project list then?

I prefer a little more guard as i'm a bit of a finger cutter - but that looks lovely

I'm a huge fan of Marks knives, and proud owner of one which is my everyday user.

Those scales are stunning. You've got something there that'll last a lifetime.

Many thanks guys. Was a fun project. I'm hoping I can do a sheath to compliment it next

Thanks again guys

Lovely work there....nothing to touch polished antler on a bushie.

You've certainly done Mark's blade justice there.
It does look better than the Woodlore, I think,
very classy knife indeed.
Your leatherwork is going to be top notch to live up to that.
Thanks for sharing it.
Cheers , Simon
