New jackets and a re-shape

[addo]

Not had much time to make recently, but as I've moved on some blades recently I thought I'd swap my main user (enzo traper) for one I made a while back. Its one I forged out of an old rasp. It was a bit bulky originally so the handles been re-worked and a new edge ground on. I love the birch bark spacers when they are all cleaned up. The rest is leather, brass, birch burr and Sycamore if I remember rightly, all foraged in the woods or from bits of scrap.

Its been a tad chilly of late so i made it and another old knife a new sheath. Sorry about the picture quality.

Looking forward to making some new Scandi Knives soon.

Lovely work Paul, I really like the contrast in the light sycamore against the darker birch bark and burr. Looking forward to seeing more knives when you get round to it! How's the fam doing? Hope you have plenty of wood stored to keep them warm, reckon winter will kick in soon. No wonder you haven't had much workshop time recently!

Hope I can keep on finding the wood and filling the shelters every year. I'm starting to feel old now with the night time baby feeds all over again.
