I'm sorry I'm going to ask......

What's a corby????

A trouser press?

A corby is a type of rivet that comes in two parts and screws together.

Nice Shinken,

Is this one a seller or a keeper? Can I be really rude and ask if you've finished? It looks good but alot of people profile their scales a great deal more than shown here. If so I'd be curious as to why you've left it like that? Doesn't look uncomfortable as it is though!

Of course you can, Yep its finished. The reason i have profiled it like this is because
of a thread on BB, one of the makers there leaves his handles really square. He says it makes it turn in the hand less.

So i thought i'd give it a go and see! I havent actually left it as square as the guy on bb, i did but it wasnt confortable for me. so i sanded untill it was.

Oh and the blade is 3'' long

What a good idea... and I suppose if it doesn't work, you can just reprofile it. Easier than trying to put wood back on!!

Yep! i was sure it was conmfy, but you put a doubt in my mind so i went back to it and done some carving and splitting for any hour. Definatly conmfy!!!

I think it looks less rounded than it is because i left the back un-rounded and the very front kind of symetricaly squareish (if thats a word)
