Yew and file brute

[Dougster]

Jamie Mackie made me the blade. I put Yew on it with red liners and a brass pair of corbies.

It's silly silly sharp. I've used it to deal with a fresh trout and it cut like a demon - it went straight though the skin where most sharp knives seem to struggle.

Debt crisis (new name for same old crap credit crunch) price of £40 which includes paypal and postage but with no sheath. I'll do a plain deep one in black or brown RH or LH for a tenner.

Thanks for looking

First question - whats the edge grind? and how do you keep it nice and sharp with all those curves?

Disregard the second question as I just have seen the sheaths you make (followed the link.)

Flat with tiny secondary and DC3 does a treat. I use a sharpmaker for secondary edges.

Price drop £35.

 

[IJ55]

Yes please.

PM inbound on british blades to let you know - IJ55 on both forums to save confusion. I'll ask for a right hand sheath and pay an extra tenner too. dark brown possible at all?

Glad you said that as that is what it's already got....

Paypal all sent to you good Sir. Now am I looking forward to this beastie and its field test?
you bet I am.

Will let you all know what its like and add pics too.

By God did I get an absolute cracking knife or what?

Its stunning - The sheath is also a piece of art - very understated, but built like a tank to last.

My thanks for this one dougster!
