New Eagle necker and a croc....

[HillBill]

Hi guys.

Just finished these 3 off today.....

A set comparing of an Eagle and a new necker design based on the Eagle.... Dunno what to call it though... Mac suggested Sparrowhawk, which i like... also suggest was Hawk and Eaglet....... what do you guys think?

And a Croc and sheath... first sheath i've made for a croc, bit of a new design really... Thoughts?

 

[Clouston98]

Cracking stuff as always Mark! I quite like osprey as name

 

[dazcon]

Very nice Mark! The croc is an interesting beast. Like the choil/grind/secondary bevel transition. Unusual but very cool. The sheath design suits it well but I think I'd prefer black for this particular knife. Just my taste.

Quality craftsmanship once again mate!!

 

[Macaroon]

Very nice indeed Mark, even through my Morphine haze

Looking forward to a clear-headed look when I get out of here!

 

[Chris the Cat]

Kestrel.

[Pockets]

Cracking stuff Mark What about Merlin, smallest bird of prey in the UK.

 

[mountainm]

Lovely stuff. I like Hawk. Alternatively Falcon, Harrier or my favourite Peregrine.

 

[HillBill]

Thanks guys.

All good suggestions for the name on the mini Eagle..... hard to decide really.

 

[Turnip]

Can I suggest calling it the Wren, from the story of how the wren became king of the birds.

 

[Albus Culter]

Mark!!!!!

Is that my knife??????

Drooooooooooooolllllllllllllll

That yew is stunning
And the little fella is a great thing of beauty (and I don't want one honest!!!)

Sorry Albus....they are mine, all mine - I'm not protective of them at all .....picked them up yesterday. They all have a great weight to them and sit well in the hand - and Mark is a complete gent to deal with.

I like hawk or kestrel.

Thanks again Mark

[Nektarios]

Yours will be as fine Albus - Mark simply doesn't turn out anything bad

Thanks
Tim

 

[HillBill]

Thanks guys

Glad you're happy with them Tim

Martin, Yours will be done this week mate.

 

[Nativewood]

Beautiful knives, Mark. I love that mini-Eagle and would second the name of Merlin for it due to the ornithological connection. Yew has to be my all-time favourite wood.

 

[HillBill]

Thanks mate

Aye, Yew can be a beauty

 

[Tim_B]

Thanks Mark - really like them! I also want a pnk1 but really can't justify another buy so soon...maybe Saturday

Whats the best oil for the Yew when they finally need doing?

Thanks
Tim

 

[HillBill]

I use Danish oil mate. But boiled linseed would work just as well.

PNK? got two for sale.. if you want me to save one.. let me know.

Shoulda brought the S200 up too lol

 

[Tim_B]

Thanks Mark - ok will let you know re the pnk.

The S200 is reserved for the Parang

Thanks
Tim
