What did you buy today?
- Thread starter Nova & Pinky
- Start date
My Wilkinson Sword Dartmoor Knife mini Project was completed today.
I was a bit disappointed not to have secured one from a fellow member on here but in the end it made a lot more sense to buy the parts and do the job my way. These I got from www.dartmoorknife.co.uk to whom I have no affiliation.
My buddy Trevor turned the Pommel Nut out of Aircraft Aluminium which keeps the balance as per the original. Duncan from Dorset Woodland Blades http://www.dorsetwoodlandblades.co.uk/ has done an astonishing job on the grind, matching the original dimensionally but far, far sharper.
Both guys were a joy to do business with.
This project started out as a way to conserve my original numbered blade from further damage and loss of its eye watering value but I'm so pleased with it I may "Pimp" it into an Heirloom Piece.
So I have two but 3 children. Hmmm
