Ray Iles spoon knives

I don't hear the name mentioned too often on here but i got one of these Ray Iles deep spoon knives as a late Christmas present. Way better than the Mora hook knives.

Just thought I'd share.

They look great mike.
Is there a connection with Ashley Iles? The son perhaps?

Dunno for sure, but I'd think brother or son is a safe assumption.

I know this is an old thread, but I am a new member and I just found it via Google.

Ray Iles is Ashley Iles' brother.

I met him a couple of weeks back and he spent 45mins showing round his workshops.

He is an extremely interesting and knowledgeable guy with a wonderful shop.

If you like hand tools, and are near Horncastle in Lincolnshire, then I recommend that you go for a look.

Oh, and take plenty of cash or a credit card.
