    That's interesting! I did find another company in the UK selling them yesterday, £760 but they really are the dogs. Another £300 for the motor and control unit.

    Early days yet, but I'm not going to rule it out ?

    At the moment it looks like I will get one in from the states. You can get them on the bay etc but my mate who makes custom knives for a living said don't bother, you'll only regret it. Most of the sellers are in Poland etc. Its going to be about a grand, but I would blow that without thinking on Nv etc, or a PCP.

    No, I'm only going to be buying steel stock to keep the uniformity. Its already turning into quite a rabbit hole. I had bought a hobby belt grinder, pillar drill etc but have already decided these are not what I require even for making small amounts of knives. So a 2x72 grinder will be ordered this week.

    I wish ! I have cut back a bit of late, apparently I had a small stroke back in September, I'm not totally convinced though. I would sell up and move to France tomorrow, but my health needs are quite complex now so I don't think we will ever be able to make the move. There's a realistic possibility of us buying a small place still though for holidays for us and the family, maybe even a bit of rental if we find something nice in the right area. Its still so rediculously cheap to buy over there (except Ile de rhe) ? I look forward to seeing more of your posts. Jamie.

    Afterwards before the real rain set in I rough ground these first two

    I turned this lovely bit of steel stock into these hideous blanks with an angle grinder ?

    Ambitious project today! I'm going to try and get a nessmuk and four bushies from one £13 piece of crv2.

    Blimey it's good to see you back Clive! I was sure you had suffered fools one time too many and wouldn't ever be back. Hope you stick around a while again.

    First knife, and my first three sheaths
  11. mole trapper
    He made a sheath for me that few could match! Very very talented.
  12. mole trapper
    I didn't realise there was a dedicated knife thread! This is what dytkos was talking about. Awesome.?
  13. mole trapper
    You'd be lucky to hit anything here with a scattergun right now! Its total pants.
  14. mole trapper
    Yeah, he's now married 4 years? If you Google sharman knives you will see what incredible knives he makes. All the Damascus steel is made by himself.
  15. mole trapper
    Well today I made the sheath, it won't win any beauty contests, but it fits lovely and I haven't finished the wet forming yet which will make a nicer shape and fit around the handle.
  16. mole trapper
    Absolutely 100% the first knife I've ever made. I had guidance and encouragement from wendon who is now a bit of an icon in the UK custom knife making world.
  17. mole trapper
    I've never tried making socks ?
  18. mole trapper
    Hmmm, I could fancy giving a Skinner a go ?. I've just started the sheath for this one. Bought 1075 and 1080 steel for my next attempts.
  19. mole trapper
    Thank you again chaps. The wood is Australian Gidgee. 1075 high carbon steel. She wasn't always pretty ?
  20. mole trapper
    Thank you fellas. Something I've wanted to do for a very long time, I'm trying quite hard to become a semi retired pestie but the customers won't blinking let me. However I do intend trying my hand at this a bit more. Coupled with producing quality craft cider I'm hoping to become busier in what " I want" ?
  21. mole trapper
    Blimey mark! I thought you were considering selling one of yours for a moment. I must stop drinking my homemade cider ?
  22. mole trapper
    Slightly off topic chaps, but I wanted to make a hunting knife that would not look out of place with my vintage Springer collection. Well after nearly thirty five hours if work by hand I've made this! Its not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it will fullfil the intended purpose.
  23. mole trapper
    If it's a good clean example in .22 I would go second dibs after mark.?
  24. mole trapper
    Great fun there. If it were one gun though it's a Brno bolt action all day long. Written as a full time pestie. If it were for fun it would be my Ruger 10/22 loaded with HV in a banana mag, spray and pray ?
  25. mole trapper
    Sweet ?
