Thats some lovely work Mark , the F&S knife and the orange handled knife appeals greatly.

It will be added to my range. I really need to update my website... i have about 8 new models to put on there. This one will go under Hunting knives.

that sykes is incredible mate....they all are....liking the dye job on the top brown sheath too....youre an absolutely brilliant knifemaker and you keep on surpassing your own skill level regularly and evolving new ideas and designs....even your leatherwork is better than most knifemakers manage for themselves leave alone the blades you produce...totally bespoke and perfectly executed.....top respect!!! top!!!

Thanks Sonni. The dye jobs your fault..... layer over layer over layer over... ad infinitum.......... I got an airbrush though

Skill, without evolution leads to a stalemate...... if you don't evolve.. you die...... law of life mate

Keep yourself well dude!! And keep up your own good work!!!

You watched S5 ep 10 yet?

This whole thread makes me anticipate the arrival of my Crow even more, awesome stuff

Alot of seasoned makers struggle with symmetrical double edged daggers, but you've certainly pulled it off and it does look superb.

Keep it up mate, good to see you've got back on the horse.

Really like the F&S Mark - superb. Looking forward to the new models.

Thanks
Tim

Hi guys.


I've not posted any work up for a while, and i've been making some different things than the norm lately so i thought i would share. Not all bushcrafty though.


This first one... A damascus Fairbairn Sykes, was quite a challenge, having never done a double edged blade before, and the way i grind, with the blade in my hand the whole time made it a little bit scary!! The chap wanted his initials etching on the blade, so i decided to set a silver plate into the steel as i thought the etching wouldn't show up too well with the etched damascus.


The second one was for the same chap, Had to filework the spine on this one. I've only ever attempted filework once before, and it didn't turn out great.


Hope you like them

Thanks guys

 

[Tuscor]

Nice work mate!

I think I'll be contacting you about something similar to the orange one - I have a big birthday coming up next year... could be a self-present...

 

[HillBill]

Thanks mate.

I'll be here if you need me .

 

[sunndog]

Ere mark, just out of interest, is there a reason that croc sheath is cut and sewn on both sides of the blade rather than folded and sewn on one side?

 

[HillBill]

No real reason mate, just follows the shape better... and i like to make my life more difficult lol.

Will probably change it.

 

[Countryman]

Good stuff Mark. Like that drop point.
