Videos of the Land Rover Knife by Elma

Some time ago, I was very lucky and snapped up a really lovely piece of work by fellow BCUK member, "Elma".

It was made from an old Land Rover leaf spring, with tufnell scales and it was an absolute gem;

The knife was a joy to use, though I found it to be a touch on the large side for my hands, eventually selling it on. I can't actually remember who bought it now

Anyway, I just thought I'd share

Nice one Elma

best wishes

Ahh sadly it went ages ago now, I think it was early last year (ish), I can't remember who bought it either now!

I think it may have sold on song of the paddle

I really did like the knife but it was too big for me.

cheers

very old lanny springs make awesome blades as the steel is much better than the standard we use now, good old british steel eh...

the blade did look a little long to me too Steve, very nice work on the axe handle, is that the one that bit you....

No! it was the little hatchet I got from from my father-in-laws greenhouse, that I spent hours and hours, de-scaling, grinding and sharpening to bring back to life, that did that.

Actually......er...no....in fact, it was the stupid buxxer using the wrong tool for the job, when not fully compost-de-mental,that did it, not the tool

just about coming up to a year now I think Still not got the full feeling back in thumb or finger!

Take care

cheers
