Ian does some great gear,i have 2 of his knives,1 of his bushcrafters with Bubinga scales and matching firesteel which was the very 1st custom knife i bought.
The 2nd one is a perfect clone of a hunting knife that i already had, and what a job he made of it, beautiful ivory paper micarta with red liners and full flat grind mirror polished RWL 34 blade,an absolute delight to use in the field,he keeps a bit of a low profile with his knifemaking but he is well up there with the best,have a look on his webpages at his work(
www.oldoakknives.com)his Bowies are also a bit special.No connections etc.(apart from 2 great knives).
