Another rasp knife, this time with a stacked leather handle. Overall length 245mm, blade 135mm, cutting edge 125mm.
Something strange happened to the leather with this one, I can only assume that it's something that got on the leather during the taning process, or packing, or transport, or, whatever, but the layers on the handle came up a bit blotchy. (Is that a word?) Anyway, there's two choices, I can either strip the thing and start again, but knowing how it was put together I didn't relish that prospect, or pass it on to somebody as a cheap user to be beaten up and generally abused!
Obviously, I chose the latter! (The pictures aren't the best, I've had to borrow a camera as mine died)
Here it is:
The bolster and cap are both ramshorm.
As you can see, the leather has some strange staining or something showing through.
It does have a satisfying 'click' as it slips in its sheath, which is nice, and possibly the only thing to commend it!
As usual, over 18's only please.
So, how much for a cheapy? How about £50.00 delivered.
