After reading Stewart Lights Blog entries about his project, I thought I'd give this rebuild a go as I've always liked these type of knives. I've made friction folding knives in the past, but I fancied using the Svord blade as I like the shape and its a nice simple project to do in-between other jobs.
I make my own scales most of the time as it costs me nothing other than time, and its been good doing a spot of knife work again as I've been busy with other projects of late. I prefer to be out and about these days when I get some spare time, particularly in the Autumn season, and I think this knife will be the perfect bushcrafting companion. Its a bit rough in places, but it'll do for me and I'm happy with the open/closing.
Rest of the pictures and the making of here if you fancy a gander http://woodsmancrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/svord-peasant-knife-rebuild-yew-handle.html
Cheers, Addo
