That looks great

If I can suggest that many people would love to see the "making process" in a slideshow - how the blade is cut out, ground, heat treated etc. Its probably old hat to you but fascinating to your customers

Nice looking site Mark. I've viewed on several different PC's and it adjusts to fit each screen just fine, loads quickly, so no hanging about waiting for something to happen, no irrelevant flashy bits to clutter things up!

Good site, clean and simple.

I like it!

Thanks Red. :)

I had plans for things like that, just didnt have time to do it all before the date agreed for the site to go live. The site as it is now, is just a basic foundation. Plenty more content to go on. another 7 designs to go on too, once i have refined them a little, and thats just bushy knives ;)

Further constructive criticism- in the About Mark section "although I have had had knife making as an interest for much longer" one too many had's. Nice site and nice work. PS Tiens, voilà du boudin, voilà du boudin, voilà du boudin Pour les Alsaciens, les Suisses et les Lorrains, Pour les Belges, y en a plus, Pour les Belges, y en a plus, Ce sont des tireurs au cul. ;)

Looking very swish there Mark. Might be a nice idea to add BCUK to your links page as well. I did that at my website simply as a courtesy since I post my artwork here without ruffling too many feathers.

Wishing you every success, and more, with this.

All the best mate.

That better? Thats the first time i've done anything on the site, so i'm happy it worked :D

In the interest of fairness, i had to add links of other forums where i post/sell my work aswell.

Looks great :)

But on the blade kits section could you include a ruler or something for scale?

I know the specs are on the other page but I found myself clicking around pages for a while trying to compare them.

Thanks. :)

Not sure how i could do that without having to make all the blades again. :)

Don't think I was criticising, just seeing lots of interesting links up there gives the visitor an inkcling of your other interests and can see you're active in them, rather than some mercenary knife maker with no clue on what is actualy a good versatile tool.

Did that even read right? Hope so.

I also learnt aboout the other forums there which I wasn't aware of, thanks. I'll check those out another time

I also agree with what EarthtoSimon said, something for scale is always a good idea.
