BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Must be the right time of year for enzo neckers. This just popped up in my history as being completed today in 2013.
Probably the favourite handle combo I’ve done.

Came across this one that I had forgotten about. It has suffered a bit of patina in storage so needs a bit more work the edge.
I had always thought it felt a bit blade heavy so finally got round to lowering the spine to what is here. It feels right now. Sadly no picture from before but it was a subtle change - just more towards the wharnecliffe than sheepsfoot, though it was neither.

I can see why; that is beautiful!
So, digging into some boxes to see what to start tackling next.
A part finished handle on a Lord Farquhar Damascus blade. It’s Blackwood up the front, leather spacers then Kingwood behind. Plenty of shaping still to do. I think trying to aim towards a Mora 2000 shape. Hopefully I can clean the blade up without needing to dismantle it all and start over.
Then there’s this boker folder. It stalled because there was an issue matching new pins - I got some bar machined down and started back with some Turkish walnut.
You can see why it stalled again - wood is strong stuff when it wants to shift!!
Then lastly a Spyderco Pride!! I’ve rehandled one of these a long time back - I don’t remember if anyone remembers Nightfly, the dude who faked his own death and posed as his missus - it was for him. I hope it’s serving him well still. No idea what to do with this apart from a synthetic handle. Stick thin slim line or go for something thicker with more curves?
That’s enough to be distracted with for now…..

It’s impressive what an extra line can do. Take that nickle silver spacer out and I’m sure it wouldn’t be nearly as good.I can see why; that is beautiful!
Time to start thinking about sheaths for these:
When will these be for sale, mate? Or do they already have buyers?
Just a little! I need to clear some of the simple ones out. I always had plans for some being quite bare.Those will keep you busy for a while
Then there's another box....
