    im really sorry to the guy with the hoof knife i never intended to hyjack your post ! see this is the problem guys to make them really cheap something has got to give as that cant be materials its got to be my labour and im working for bugger all as it is , the abrasive belts for my grinder are £4 each and you would be amased how long they dont last , and thats the super dooper ceramics that last longer , then my polishing belts start at £19 each , they last a little longer but are delicate as hell , spike killed one totaly by accident the other day profiling a knife here , brand new ........

    i make knives under a tenner "reddawn" has one here waiting to be pictured , we used to be proud of british made stuff and pay a little more for knowing it was made well and the money stayed in the counrty it was produced in . iv got a freebey to for "torchy" as he was saying that a cheap stainles knife he had was unbeatable in terms of edge and retention . the more suport i can get the more i can make the more i make the cheaper they get ! i am working on something now that will give mora a run for its money, and will be from british steel and suplies and made by hand but at affordable pr

  10. midnight
    i have no idea how good it would be its not one of mine . iv lost a few knives but nothing like the number you guys have , maybe when you spent a few £ on them it makes you more carful or conciouse of where you put it ha ha . i can but try to make one or two and see how they go on . there is a few things i would do interms of construction that would improve them a little .
  11. midnight

    very nice rob , the little grinder has earned it keep then !!
  13. midnight
    maybe there is a market for a re birth then ? i bet the costs would be to much to bear ! i always found the handle to small , and i dont know if you guys remember but where the stag had been ground to meet flush with the pummel and guard there was areas you could see they had ground through the outer bone and exposed the marrow for want of a better word . i can allways look to make a few, i have the old designs saved and would not be able to do a direct copy but could use the theme and style to replicate something very similar ? i think the stacked leather washer version must have been the
  14. midnight
    gotcha sorry . i duno the answer to the question then , i think the best antler we have native is roe and there a bit small , fallow red seems to have a pith in it that you cant grind back to or it looks crap , so you got to get samba stag or similar and then you need to make the knife to the antler as there pretty random in shape / thicknes , the really nice stuff gets snapped up and costs alot so i spose that must be something else to consider . the reason iv never worked with it much is that i have been so skint for so long iv never invested to money i dint have into a "risk" the look is
  15. midnight
    just one of the paunchers left and one of the small file blades guys , waidman bough a differant knife in the end so its still for grabs . i have a few more for you later or tommorow , and the bloody weird ones for you ads above ha ha . i couldnt do a tooth but did something similar , and one with a 1" blade for MR bloody difficalt
  16. midnight
    all my last lot had buffalo horn on them , and i have some camel bone etc on order . custom wise file work etc ? the market is not strong enough to spend £100 on materials and 5 days making a knife to sell it for £120 and im finnished with that for now until things pic up , i thought the paunchers i just did where very custom and had taken alot of skill my end to make ,a tappered tang to 1mm from 8mm is not easy to do at all !!!!!!!! i spose its one of those things if you never done it, it looks easy , i wish some of the lads that have come over for the day would explain how demanding it is t
  17. midnight
    thanks mike sold to you then . i have sent a pm . i will have a go a "claw" today for you lot . you know that this lat are very day legal carry knives dont you ? even if the law search you , there well under 3" il have a play today but its gotta be the last time with out some sort of deposit , if you dont like it iv got to find someone else that will ! once iv posted all this lot away i will have another go then see what can come from the workshop
  18. midnight
    this lot are also available cheap but they are heat treateed and tempered and ground sharp . just drill a peice of suitable wood fill the hole with apoxi and fit the tang in there , a little shaping you have a paunching knife , im happy to finnish any of these with handle and sheath if anyone wants ? all the best , matt.
  19. midnight
    smalest knife i can make would be tiny , the handle would be the largest part . i think i would need to make a straight cutting edge on it for grinding my end and so you can get a new edge when you need it . the blades on them lethermans are crap i dont know how you cope ? here is another option for you i have some ORANGE kydex and could sheath it in that and maybe handle it in the same you would strugle to loose it then !! i have done 5 small stick tang blanks today hoping one of those might be what ypour looking for but sounds like you want something differant again ! il wipe of the buff
