    After being in 'The Zone' after finishing ma stalking knife today, I thought I'd make a couple of pens.... The tiger stripe is made from Zebrano, with satin nickel metal work... the other is made from Cherry, again with Satin nickel metal work... Trying to stock up for xmas presents, but Ben took the Zebrano!! bloody blanks are imported from Germany and cost a fortune !! Ill need to make a load more now, as wife took one last week... and I'm behind on commissions they are both finished with CA, and polished with Micomesh on the lathe..

    I hope you feel I did the blade justice mate.......................... The Scales are Tulip wood, fitted with copper 1/4" mosaic pins, and 3/8" Copper mosaic lanyard tube. The ferrocerium rod was finished in Tulip wood as well. I wouldn't say it was perfect........ Its my first proper, no holds barred knife, but I've learnt a lot and reckon I could improve the next.. Now I know the score. The handle was sanded to death by hand, then sanded some more with micromesh, upto 12000 grade. The finished with Tru oil sealer, oil and wax..

    Couple of weeks ago, as is the norm now, BASC Scotland, held a young shots ferreting day.. Basically it is an opportunity for youngsters with little or no land, or youngsters that want an introduction to ferreting to get down and dirty.
