GruffaloGriff 1,851 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 griff you must be really proud of your children and the stuff they have made is first class. Yes mate proud indeed. Lost a bit of hare in the process but worth putting in the effort as it pays off in the end. Thanks for all the positive feedback. Griff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,851 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 My Lad mad this knife yesterday. Going to list it over on the sales page but thought i would give you guys first dibs. He wants £55 for it. Series 2 Landy spring blade, Oak scales. He made a few with this steel and it is a relay good blade steel. 80grit finish on the blade but that is the effect he was looking for. If you prefer a mirror finish you could easily work through the grits yourself with wet & dry. 7inch overall 3 3/4 inch blade full ground taper. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moxy 617 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 One for the kids Made and bent using old heavy galv dairy pipe and the odd part from an old exercise machine Spring assisted because of the weight of the pipe. Stainless bucket fabbed from 1.2mm sheet. Installed in a gravel pit rather than sand. So cats don't shit in it. Kids love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,851 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 That's brilliant Moxy, love it! Often thought about making one myself but never got round to it, kids are a bit big for it now although you never outgrow a toy like that! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
