Youngun 8 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hi everyone just thought I would show you a few photos of what I have been up too recently here is a small o1 tool steel neck knife that I have made, it has a yew handle with a loveless brass pin and a scandi grind. sorry for the bad quality photos but they were done on my phone as my camera was charging, I have loads of other projects in the workshop that I will get some photos of tomorrow. Many thanks Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
