I Just finished this one, 5mm 01 flat grind, taperd tang, amboya burr on thin grey liners with brass fittings. I like it bit of a change from scandi grinds, keep it or sell it?

Beauty that. I'd keep it. Cut stuff with it, oil it, sharpen it, pet it, feel how sharp it is when it cuts into that which lived ((or still lives!)but not for long!)):)
What I mean to say is flatgrinds are great.:)

IF I had made such a knife, I would be hard pressed to sell it:rolleyes:
But then I don`t have you skill, or business.

Nice that Rob :)

As a maker you gotta sell em if you can, if it doesn't sell, keep it, or trade it. :)

Excellent work Rob, if your saying "ridiculously sharpe" then all I can imagine is lightsabre as all your blades are beautifully sharp :D

Little?! I bet I'm taller than you.

No, I meant using the knife to kill plants. A real bushcrafter drops a slingshot the size of a log on an animal to kill it.

You're right you probably are taller than me, all the Cloggies and South African "D" men I've known have been huge - I reckon you're all grown hydroponically in all those green houses you have. Either that or so you can paint the ceilings in those very tall houses you have.


It's a bit like in Spike Milligan's war diaries someone is asking where all these huge Canadian soldiers come from and the response is that they go into the forest and shake the trees and out they fall.

You've got to remember we Scot's were famously short due to hunting Haggis on the open hill. In fact one of the tribes that lived amongst the long costal grass on the east coast were called the "whereama" tribe.

They were called this after their habit of jumping up and down in the grass and shouting "Where am I?"

Hey Rob, very nice work as per usual. Difficult one on keep or sell. I would be hard pressed to part with it, but I think I would in the end. It's made as a project / one off and it means that whoever gets it they'll get one of a kind. :D
