New stuff just finished - v pic heavy.

[Dougster]

I mainly do full tang blades and I've done a couple of stick tangs, one leather before these.

Used a lot of thin cyanoacrylate to seal them and my word, a lot of sanding. Middle two in top pic spoken for, two to see what happens.

I'm quite pleased and just need to start the sheaths now, but work is calling tomorrow, it'll have to wait a few days....











Walnut and yew:

Cracking job, well done. I love the walnut and yew one

 

[Dougster]

Thank you gents, very kind of you all to say. I always try to do something a bit different but have four full tangs to polish the front edges before I glue them on tonight. I am on a stand at the Deer Stalking Fair in Kelso in March I need to get stock together for that. Two days teaching this week and the rest are all flat out.

 

[HillBill]

Nice one Rich

 

[Dreadhead]

very nice Rich!

 

[georann]

Very nice work- top one especially

 

[Steve13]

I like the bottom one ( the one with the antler cap ) , be interesting to see the sheaths you make

 

[Toddy]

How did I miss this ??

Those are beautiful and a stacked leather handle is about the most comfortable knife to use, it really is. I still have the first knife my Dad bought for me, and it has a stacked leather handle and it is still sound after forty years of use.

I do like how you have incorporated the wood though; very 'tailored', very right, very appealing They look like they will develop even more character with use and time too.

I hope the Kelso show is a real success for you

atb,
Mary

 

[Two Socks]

Lovely! Right up my street these. I especially like the one with the antler cap, but they are all really nice.

 

[RE8ELD0G]
