  1. I didn't realise there was a dedicated knife thread! This is what dytkos was talking about. Awesome.?
  2. You'd be lucky to hit anything here with a scattergun right now! Its total pants.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Thank you again chaps. The wood is Australian Gidgee. 1075 high carbon steel. She wasn't always pretty ?
  8. 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" ?
  9. Blimey mark! I thought you were considering selling one of yours for a moment. I must stop drinking my homemade cider ?
  10. 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.
  11. If it's a good clean example in .22 I would go second dibs after mark.?
  12. 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 ?
  13. Phew pressure off me now I know you're happy with it. ? I'm putting the little airmax 2-7 x32 on one, and I've got hold of a vintage tasco ag in 3-9x40 with a 30/30 ret to go on the other, so it will be proper old school rig.
  14. Quality post ? always great to see a Springer post on here, even better when it contains great pictures.
  15. Brilliant news mark ? I spoke to Lyn last week and he was not a happy bunny about not getting it to you quicker. You know what the hold up was but it didn't make him feel any better about it. I hope it is everything you hope for. J.
  16. Good result with a classic rifle. Great post.
  17. Well the trigger will never be brilliant, but they are far better than new Diana's is all I'll say. ? To be totally honest though because of my knocked up hands and sausage fingers I'm pretty rubbish at assessing triggers.
  18. They are a bit hot mark, so will have to watch them, if they go any higher I will have to do something to keep them legal. They feel a bit different to the vmached one I've used at the airgun bash. Slightly faster than I was looking for, but absolutely no twang or felt recoil. Of course the one I used at the bash was well run in, so that may change over time. Interestingly they feel similar to the hideously expensive venomised 80,s I bought in the auction last week.
  19. Hi Everyone. Mark I hope you don't mind, but I've picked up the sports today, finally completely refurbished and vmach kits fitted. Obviously top one not refurbed, but kit fitted. Saw yours had arrived safely. Also picked up the two expensive 80,s I won in the big auction in Oxford, very pleased with them indeed.
  20. Another, but taken back early autumn.
  21. You have to love the 99,s! Yes I know there is the gauling issue, but other than that.... Here's my two, one in each flavour. The one in the cs stock is just waiting to have the foresight ramps taken down, and then the beautiful slimtech style reflex barrel weight made by one of my very talented mates, can go on. This will I hope you agree make a great looking handy rifle.
