[HillBill]

You'll either love it or hate it

Scandi Grind
Camphor Burl handle with white liners and brass pins and lanyard tube

Sheath is a dangler style in 3mm veg tanned leather

I took delivery of one of Mark's knives yesterday
It's a beauty ....review to come, himself's been on Arran all day, and one handed camera work's not good....this one looks like it's out of the same stable though mine was sized for me

Fit and finish are truly excellent, and the sheath is just the icing on the cake with the set

Best of luck with the sale Mark

cheers,
Toddy

That would be called a turkish clip
It actually has a purpose, well it actually has 3 purposes. With it being a wood working knife, the first dip from the handle is somewhere to rest your thumb for tip control, it is also a pivot point for pulling the blade around for removing small slivers of wood.( hold the workpiece in your left hand with your left thumb on that part of the blade and pull the knife around it. Its very handy for doing the outside of the bowl on a spoon for example) It also acts as both a scraper for curved surfaces and removes bark very well. The dip near the tip is for very fine tip control with the left hand. So while i concede it is a little unusual in appearence, it is a case of function over form.

Love it Mark until I get to the end of the blade.
