My first SWC knife kit finished

[ddokkum]

Hi
After reading a lot of articles on BCUK and British blades it was
time to make my own knife.
I bought this kit from SWC, a really nice looking kit.
The scales on the knife are Thuya burr and i used red spacers on it.
I have also made two knife sheaths the one with the para card is my favorite.
And i have to say i really enjoyed making the leather sheaths.
At the moment I am waiting for the next knife to arrive from Mick Spain
which I am going to finished with a pair of really nice Yew scales i bought these from englishrose.

Looks nice!

Hey Dokkum!

Looks like a good kit to get started with!!
Now you know how to do handles, next is the blade itself

Just get a piece of steel and some good o'l creativity!
You might wanna check www.gatherwood.nl
They have a starter kit with a book, and a piece of RWS-34 steel.
