New Stuart Mitchell knife

[British Red]

Good choice!

Its completely worth the wait Simon trust me - the only thing is you won't ever part with it when you have it

Im in the same boat. Expecting one from Stu next month based of his 001 pattern. He kindly handled one of his Kitchen knives for me so I have had a recent treat. His work is great, the anticipation is the hardest part.

After a few "issues" with handles and scale materials, here are a few pictures of the finished knife.

It now sports scales of double dyed Box Elder Burl.

Knife goes to Rapidboy tomorrow for a sheath.

Heres hoping I can have it by month end to take to the Middlewood meet!

Very very very nice.

You'll be equally pleased with the RB sheath.

Lovely - good choice on the scales too

Ohhh, that looks really good. I've just ordered a Skookum knife from Ray Garcia in the USA, but I feel the need to start saving up again. These blooming pages are going to cost me a fortune, lol

Very nice I love the handle

Handsome Simon, very nice, hope you get it soon mate, RB sheath will be the icing on the cake! Can't wait for mine!

Making me jealous, Stu is crafting me a knife as we speak, he told me it was going for heat treatment this week, i haven't seen any pics yet but if its anything like yours i will be over the moon.

Very nice looking knife, the scales really work well, that double dyed box elder burl scales make it that bit more individual.

I must confess the fit and finish is exemplary, but the handle is a bit to square for me personally and. i like a bit of pommel swell.

Biyeshuash! That's nice. I look forward to a brief fumble

Biyeshuash! That's nice. I look forward to a brief fumble

Sadly will not be bringing it to Middlewood - It is with RB for sheath fitting as we speak. Stu did offer me an old sheath from his workshop to put me on, but that would only delay getting the finished item.

RB is also making me a matching cover for my SFA - Don't tell SWMBO tho!

[Shinken]

Cool, you will be very happy with Laurence's work as well as Stu's

 

[SimonM]

Just had a PM from Rapidboy saying the sheath & SFA mask are due a final polish then they are all mine!

Can't wait to get them dirty!
