Ok,
consider this a list, I'm going to get in so much trouble with swmbo. BTW, I shipped the first lot today.

Please note a couple of changes.
I've looked at how much these cost to make and the price will have to go back up to £25 (I promise I'm not trying to fleece you)
The next batch won't be camel, just plain old cow!
I'll also replace the leather thong with paracord as I think this is a more useable option, even if it doesn't look as nice.

If any of that is a problem, do let me know.

Here you all are, edit as you like:


Huon
Tjwuk
Melonfish x2
Steve48
gordonmac
Shewie
Clive
Tobes01
subedarmajor
lamper x2
Jaysurfer

I can add 3 more names to the list to make a total of 16 and I can have 2 reserves. I have no idea when they'll be done, but I'll let you know asap. Maybe some before Xmas...

Just to be clear, if you want a leather thong you can have one. To be honest, I just snapped one by pulling really hard while stropping so that's why I suggest the paracord!

First to pay will be the first shipped and I should be able to send the next four within a couple of weeks. Please PM me with your address and I will reply with my paypal details. First come first served. :)

Hello again,
After a productive weekend, I'm going to get through these sooner than I expected. Anyone on the main list, please PM me your address to confirm your interest and I will reply with payment details. Next Sunday, I will open it up to the reserves (thanks for your decency AlecF).

I should be able to do them all before Christmas and still stay married.

Thanks for all of your interest.

Hi Shep,

I'm off to New Zealand tomorrow and won't be back until mid January.

Can mine wait until I get back?

Cheers,

Huon

Thanks, let me know when you have one for me. If you can and not too much bother could I have the leather thong.

£25 sounds good, will take it whenever.

Cheers and PM sent just to confirm.

Hi Nick,

Can you please put me down for one of those mate, I've never been happy field sharpening and this looks like just what I've been after mate.

Don't forget, this will be used with one of your knives.....there's a nice synergy to that don't ya think?

Say sorry to the missus haha. :D

Cheers.
