twins for twins

Made these for my two nephews ( or cousins, always forget when to use what title)
They are 8 years old now, and I and their father thought that was a proper age to have a fixed blade, so after some instructions they left the house with a very big smile.

Lauricarbon blade 95 mm, some leather and fiber and some wood from the seats from the canoe, well, wood that was cut of. I think it is beech.

Best regards,

Penvisser

Hey Penvisser,

you've done a good job there, a couple of great knives

Your nephews are very lucky boys.

Nice work Penvisser!! Wish you were my uncle when I was 8 years old

For your info :
Cousin - term to show you are related to someone, because you share a common grandparent. Not gender specific.
Niece - for girls
Nephews - for boys

In french it's completely different ... but that's another story

Two very nice knives very much to my taste I hope the lads enjoy using them. It must be great to have an uncle make such a cool thing for you.

Nice work. So glad you live somewhere where it's still considered OK to give kids real tools like these. I got my first SAK about the same age which to me was the best thing ever, so am sure they're ecstatic.

 

[nicodiemus]

Wow. You're a cool uncle.

Hi Penvisser

I still have the folder given to me by my grandfather when I was 8 years old, had some great fun and learnt a lot with it, would not part with it for the world.

I look forward to hearing how their skills progress.

Hi Andy, well things about kives are going worse then ever, there were quit a few incidents and some were lethal with knives on schools here in The Netherlands.
So the knife regulations are being tightened as we speak. But I think it is our resonsibility to learn our childeren to deal with knives the right way. I have carried one in my pocket since the age of 7 and never used it against a person or in an other bad way.
But the good always suffer from the "bad".

Them knives are really cool. I bit the kids are chuffed to bits. Are the laws less of an bottom in the Netherlands than they are here? Definitely a cool uncle
