My Stuart M custom

[Shinken]

Here it is!

Ive been using it so obviously its not in the same nick as when Stu sent me it. And i have gave it a coat of Carnauba wax so its not as shiny as it was either!

Will write more on this when i get chance to use it more!

As you can see it feathers rather nice, and the wood is hickory!

Steel is Cpm 3V.

Will get better pics in time

Great looking knife - as always from Stu!! I have not seen hickory used before, its a really good looking handle material I bet your really pleased!

 

[Shinken]

Oooops my booo booo, handle is mosaic spalted maple burl, the feather stick is hickory:yikes:

 

[Aliwren]

I think i read your description wrong!

Still a great looking knife and that must be an even rarer handle material!!

 

[Shinken]

Yeah i got it from werber knife supply Germany, i thought id better send it to stu in case i messed it up

 

[MikeE]

That is the best looking knife I've seen for quite a while. And the handle material is gorgeous, natural camouflage too! Hope you put it down near me someday and then have probs finding it!

Love everything about this one, profile and blade geometry, choice of steel, handle shape, handle material. A great collaboration, guys.

Looking forward to reading more about this one.

Kind regards,
Paul.

Will give some more reading as soon as i get the chance!

Next up is seeing how it will perform in the kitchen, undoubtedly it will be good for that. Might have to find a local game keeper so that i can try out skinning with it too

Thanks again Stu!

That is one of the best looking knife handles I have ever, simply gorgeous. makes me jealous just looking at it.

Oh, and the knife ain't half bad either

Will give some more reading as soon as i get the chance!...

Yep, finding the time to do everything that one would like can be a problem.

It’s got everything going for it - wood carving (fine, and hard use), food prep (vegetable and animal). It looks like a winner in many aspects.

... Thanks again Stu!

It's a source of pride to me that Sheffield craftsmanship still endures and survives in a global market place

Kind regards,
Paul.
