Just an update . I only have 3 finished fieldcrafters left for sale 1x black linen micarta and 2 black and green laminate dymond wood . As stated before I won't be repeating these handle material options . Future knives will be finished in canvas micarta . Iv ordered a small slab of a new canvas micarta this time . It's called camo and will be made up of green black and brown canvas , it's a new option for me and the importers !! The Damascus knife is also still available . I'm open to offers on that but nothing stupid !! All the best , matt -

I just copied and pasted it ! I never expected such a review , I don't tend to do things the reviewer did with my knives but thats not to say I didn't believe it was capable . But that was about as positive as it could be I think ? The same review will be in gunmart soon just written a little shorter for printing . Weirdly the review has not generated o e extra sale !! -
Thanks Gents its a pretty positive piece of journalism They are £120 with free uk first class recorded delivery !!

Google cromwells , look for ground flat stock . They sell every possible dimension of the stuff you will ever need . It's all o1 tool steel it comes ground perfectly flat and true and is annealed so you can drill it cut it what ever you like . Heat it till its non magnetic and amerce in motor oil . It will be heat treated. . It even comes with tempering Instructions ! Nothing makes a finer knife !! Remember it's not the look of the knife or the fancy handle that's make it good , it's the steel it's made from and the heat treatment . Customs or hand made knives are about superior
