My first knife yay

[persistent king]

As im relitavley new to bushcraft i wanted my first knife to mean something,
I wanted it to be made by someone i know , made specialy for me.

Anyway being on the blackberry bushcraft group my mate Stu (Raikey) fresh out of the Bernard Manning school of charm, said he would make me one.

I told him i wanted one similar to a woodlore, and left it with him.

I am more than happy with it and thinks he has done a cracking job.
He is even making me a firesteel to match.
I know your sick of hearing it but thanks again stu

After getting my knife i wanted a sheath and my other mate carl (mental nurse) took me to guest leather in horwich near bolton.

i told him what i wanted and he give me a price of £20, :yikes:

i thought that was very reasonable and gave him £25.

I am more than happy with my first knife and sheath as like all sentimental possetions they have a story with them, what do you think

two of Stus knifes ,mines the one at the back

Great stuff - you're right, things with a story behind them are much better than shop bought off the shelf.

Thats a bloodly good looking knife indeed and the sheath looks stunning! im dead jealous...
maybe if i get enough rum down Raikey at the brockwell meet he will make such an item for me...

My crappy bushman looks like a crude mass produced mini machete compared to that...and it is..

Cymera is doing okish, a bit slow but i guess its what to expect as a newcomer, luckily ive had alot of customers coming back and wanting sets which is cool.
