Nice work as usual, Mark, and the photos are crystal clear; only thing wrong with them is they don't show the baby Eagle with a Walnut handle, that's the one we (oh all right then, I) want to see

Cracking stuff as always, Mark! Love that Eagle and the SPB1 - beautiful yet functional shapes.

 

[HillBill]

Haha. I'll get one made up Mac. The pics are better, in part, because photo bucket have increased my storage so i don't have to use a crappy re sizer which makes them a bit grainy... got a new camera a month or two back which helps too I was trying different angles and other objects in the pic to help the sensor pick up colours better.

Thanks Graeme

Things of beauty what about Rhino for the utility knife it looks slightly bigger in the blade than the rest.

 

[HillBill]

Thanks Not a bad idea for a name. It is wider in the blade than the others.

Very nice Mark. I like the matching fire steel. Cracking work as always mate

 

[Pockets]

Brilliant stuff as always Mark, that utility knife looks like a beast. What are the specs for that thing?

 

[HillBill]

Thanks guys

The blade is 4.5", total length is 9.25". 4mm 01, sabre grind... black G10 handle.

Fantastic workmanship as always, really useful looking shape to the blades, first three would be ideal in my line of work.

Nice knives Mark. Like the idea of Rhino as a name. Have you thought about themes? So one range could be named after birds (of prey) - hawk, falcon, osprey. Another range of land animals - lion, Lynx, tiger (stripes handle), leopard (burred handle). Or maybe just animals in general - elk, moose, muntjac or red deer, the ox, buffalo etc. You could link then to their jobs, general working knife or, all rounder, chopping knives could be a beaver-(eats through wood). Just a thought.

I'm still figuring out names and such... i have so many knives drawn up in my head that i want to make that I'm at a loss. I initially started just using abbreviations, SPB (spear point, bushcraft)... DPB, (Drop point, bushcraft) PNK (pocket, neck knife) but then thought it got a bit boring, so switched to stuff... the Eagle as a few people said the blade shape looked like an eagle... croc for similar reasons, but also as it was a survival type knife, Croc suited it as they've survived practically unchanged for millions of years etc..

Thanks

The new design is looking good.

Cheers mate, Its a little more of a brute than my others... i prefer finesse... but must cater to all tastes

That's kind of what I was thinking too, getting the name from the look of the knife, or what it's task might be. Every time you bring out a new model, you could always do a poll on here and the best name gets the original as a prize. You'd have people practically fighting over them.😎

Smashing work Mark mate!
