Thanks Guys, Glad you like them.   Heres the latest made it today. It's a Opinel No 12. Carved a wolf paw on the end of the handle.              

Thanks again for the feedback, hope i didn't bore you with too much detail. Job now complete, couple of pics with stove fitted and first fire, works a treat and much more efficient/ controllable than

Bit of a bummer all the pics are down mate......

Yes Lee bit sickening indeed...fair bit of time went in posting pics etc...but a lot of folk enjoyed it so didn't mind....the thread had a fair good run with the 2nd highest post/views in the craft section, only outstripped by Midnight "At the forge day & Night". Ah well all good things must come to an end.

I will post the occasional thing on here but it all seems to be a bit dead now...back in the day there was a fair bit of banter as soon as you posted something up. Don't know if it is the new website putting folk off or if they have just moved on to other places F.B etc. For me Facebook is not my thing but each to his own. I do post my knives over on Edge Matters under same user name if anyone is interested and i did transfer a lot of my kifey pics to Flikr if anyone wants a browse feel free (Terry is not my name;)). https://www.flickr.com/photos/154623046@N06/
