For a bit of fun I added a button compass.

I wanted this to retain it's friction fit in it's original sheath, that I had bound in leather. It was successful.

That is great work - Colin

Very nice Colin, very nice indeed

 

[crosslandkelly]

Thanks all, I'm really pleased with it. Not as good as one of the makers, but not too shabby.

Nice work on that! You'll have an extra measure of pride carrying that one....

The final knife looks great Colin - nice work! I like the compass idea too, but you'll have to remember not to use it as a bolster

 

[crosslandkelly]

Thanks guys.

Wow! That's transformed the knife into something special; isn't Yew just the business for handles? Excellent work mate

 

[Stew]

Good stuff!

if you had gone for th over option of handling you would still be filing the hole!

 

[crosslandkelly]

Thanks Mac.
Stew, thanks for the advice, I'm glad I went this way on this one.

Sterling work. Just needs some blood, guts, sweat and dirt on it now and it will look great.
