  1. Made from a piece of 6mm leaf spring so it is a hefty piece of kit!
  2. Recently asked by a member to make a Seax blank for him to fit his own antler handle to. Made form series 2 LandRover leaf spring. It is a serious chopper!

  3. Missed this one. Very classy indeed! Personally I prefer brass to copper as it is more resistant to discoloring which tends to rubs off on our hands.
  4. Stunning work as usual and a nice adaption to your traditional look.
  5. Wow you are really churning them out! The reindeer looks great. ?
  6. Very nice indeed! Not seen that variation of your maker mark before, looks good and nicely positioned.?
  7. One of these? Amazon Knock a third off for second hand little used. Well used 50% off. Griff
  8. You can do a lot of damage with a soup spoon!?
  9. Sorry to hear that Jok. ATB Griff.
  10. Cheers Sussex. By all accounts it should be right up his street. It was a fun project, not a knife i would choose to make on spec but an interesting commission. I will definitely try the chain San-Mai again, plenty of improvement to be made in my forge welding technique. This one will just be a show piece so the chain is for rustic effect only. I would need cleaner tighter welds if it was going to be a real user. Griff
  11. Yes black dagger, whether because of the traditional black handle or because of the dark nature of it's origin being a carried as a hidden knife. History
  12. Cheers Jock. Seen some pieces on knife forums and liked the look. First time i have tried chainsaw chain....welds could be cleaner but it looks the part.
  13. Following a request from a work colleague to make a Sgian Dubh for his son in-law this is the very rustic end result. I had a free hand the only request was his initials in runic writing somewhere on the knife. He works in forestry so i thought chainsaw chain forge welded to series 2 Land Rover spring was appropriate. The Yew handle is local to where he grew up.

  14. Love the way you have carried the pattern of the antler onto the bronze.?
  15. Fantastic Job! Very nice attention to detail!
  16. can be ground out of HSS bar if you want a specific profile etc otherwise i just bought a set of cheap TCT cutters, not that i do much metal turning.
  17. You have outdone yourself with that one Nicolas, beautiful job!!
  18. you may have not used it for 15 years but i can guarantee in the next month you will be looking for it now it's gone
  19. Not without fancy cryogenic treatment etc. I havn't used it but D2 is rust resistant and relatively easy to work with.
  20. That sounds familiar Junk.......the proper word is obtainium.
