Those others seem to be inflicted with that nightmare I keep getting
Although, I do recognise the splendidness of their pattern.
They'll be finished by Tuesday, I'll show them....Those others seem to be inflicted with that nightmare I keep getting
Looking good Stu.
My nightmare about shortness will be gone until the next one is underway
I only made the mistake once, and we all know what they say about the man who makes no mistakes....

I know mate, I have developed OCD about it now though. It's actually Spydercos fault. But that's a long story. I really do have an obsession with angles, symmetry and things meeting at a certain point, that's why it took me ages to get to that particular knife design and be 100% happy with it. That's also why I may have mentioned it once or twice. I've tried to be subtle though, so you may not have noticed me mention it at all
You scoundrel!!!!
Look at that grind though, for a hand done Scandi, no jig or work rest in sight.....

Now that was one very gorgeous knife mate. It was my favourite knife and always the one I took with me. The biggest mistake I made was sending that back to you to have those few mm taken off the spine. Although it was spot on to my original pattern and exactly what I asked for, it somehow became a different knife after that. It was still my favourite, but that spiffin sambar jobby replaced it as my #1.

.. and how exactly do you manage to put a full flat on so perfectly just by hand and without a jig etc?
That is an immense amount of skill and more precise than many machine made edges I've seen.

im still trying to work out how you do it Stu, after handling and using one of these knives I was seriously impressed with the quality, faultless.
As promised, here are #317's bolster buddies....
Pah, priorities mate, priorities. I see mine isn't amongst the finished gems.
Seriously though, they are some sweet knives. Are they going to get the blades blued last of all? Or are these not getting that finish. I must check these out. Are they (or one) on show in the London boutique?
