My new bushcraft knife!

[NickH]

Hello Bushcrafters!

This forum has been a wealth of knowledge and help, so I figured I’d join and try and contribute something back.

I have been extremely fortunate to be given access to a small local woodland to wildcamp and practice bushcraft!

I’m also incredibly grateful to my wife for commissioning this absolutely beauty from Ben Orford!

It’s a 4” Woodlander with Desert Ironwood handles and Blue G10 liners.

The quality is unreal - Both the knife and the leather!

Anyway, just wanted to say “Hi” and I look forward to learning a lot more from you folk!

That's a beauty, also very nicely composed pictures.

 

[Rizla]

Very nice mate

 

[Diamond Dave]

Great Gift…

 

[Mesquite]

You're not wrong with that being a lovely looking knife.

 

[Broch]

Welcome to the forum.

You are a very lucky bloke

 

[Laurentius]

Beautiful. I love the sheath, I wish I could stitch and cut as neatly as that.

Jealous emoji!!!!! Its a beaut!

Hi and welcome. Beautiful looking knife.

 

[Madriverrob]

Beautiful knife

 

[NickH]

Thank you all!

I have to say, Ben was a pleasure to deal with throughout.

Considering how much interest he gets, he spent all the time in the world with me!

Seeing a lot more blue on knives these days... And I like it!

I was unsure if I’m honest.

But the fact the blue matches my leather notebook sealed the deal for me!

 

[ghostc]

very nice, yeah the blue looks kinda cool on it

Picked up a Yew Nomad from Ben at the Bushcraft show and its incredible.
Sharp enough to cut you just by looking at it wrong!
Enjoy your knife!

I have the exact same knife and Ben is as you say a pleasure to deal with. Love the lined box, the 'birth certificate', the bag that is included and even the personal hand written note from Ben. Small extra touches that make it an exceptional package. Awesome present from your wife.

You chose wisely! Ben is great to deal with and makes a superb knife. You'll have many, many years enjoying using that one! I assume it's in AEB-L, the maestro's 'steel of the moment...?
