i like thanks for showing

 

[Dreadhead]

loved it so much i bought myself one. the maker had several with etched blades so i got some braw mountains

it could really do with having a new edge put on it but im awful with a wetstone and its only a wee utility necker so its cuts just fine for now

The steel those knives are made from is a very basic stainlesss steel. Not very good edge holding wise, but quite easy to sharpen. You will get plenty of sharpening practice if you use it a lot Hamish

Sweet looking blade.

That is a lovely looking necker

That is a lovely thing. How is it in the hand - would the wee curly bit at the front (to use a technical term), pinch your finger?

 

[Dreadhead]

they are surprisingly comfortable in the hand but they really are tiny, each knife is half the size of my hand. blade is about an inch long
