Big congrats to Kev' and Mojo. Generous comp Raikey. Looking forward to seeing this develop in a WIP process thread.

Knives names after the women characters in Coronation street? You've gotta be kidding! Really? Well that's a first. I wonder what the Ena Sharples would look like then... does it have a hatchet face LOL!!!

Anyway well done to the winners and sorry to CBJ for the typo on the repaste. Glad it got spotted.

Ok "Mr Big Hands"

as a departure from the woodlore type stuff,....

could you make use of this?.....

its in 3mm, 01 and will be geared around utility and food prep type use, i have chopped it out of the steel but not cleaned it up yet,..

would you use the fake edge on the top ? or shall i leave it off?

PS,..the handle is quite big,...

 

[PaulSanderson]

WoHoo :You_Rock_. Looks brill dude . I'll use it the same as the Mora I currently use - normal camp and whittling stuff so I don't' think I'll need the fake top edge thanks but your call re- looks etc. Be my first knife with filing (I hope grovel, grovel). Can't wait. My anti is full of cipitation

 

[ex-member Raikey]

a little update for Kev,...

the paper became real today,...i spent an hour cutting it out to this but was,nt 100% happy with the blade depth

so i just had another 10 mins and took the spine down a few mm on the blade side of the thumb ramp and dropped the nose a lil,...

for scale,....

i have fairly large hands and this is how it sits, ,..oh and you may just see the birth of the filework there too,...hahahaha

havent dug around in my wood pile yet so playing the handle by ear,....

grinding the bevels tommorow then a HT session at the weekend,....

 

[Whittler Kev]

I agree that the blade profile is better after you shaved it down a bit lol
