looks good griff seeing it I would like one

There seems to be a bit of interest.

 

Hendog478 has first dibs on this one. And Flaco on the next as they have PM'd with specific requests.

 

At the moment that is all the blades i have but can order more if there is enough interest. State your interest here and follow up with a PM. First come first serve basis.

 

Also i have limited antler tips that are suitable as they need to be straight one way not like a corkscrew. I have used the first tip next to the crown on the two i have already made. If anyone could supply said tips i would be interested.

Any suggestions on a supply of antlers? Preferably just suitable tips straight one way like a banana

Thanks Griff

Pets at homes sell deer antler sections like you've used as dog chews, about 8 quid each I think.

My pal uses them as catapult handles atb

Stunning transformation of an opinel Griff. I have no intention of going into competition but how did you get the original handle off? When I've attempted it I've felt I'm going to do irreversible damage to the blade meconisem/clamp!!

Thanks Dave

A pair of sir-clip pliers springs the collar off, quick file to the sides of the rivet head to take the splay off and punch it through. One end of the rivet generally only has a slight splay so dosn't take much, can re-use the rivet on re-assemble and just round over wit ball-pin hammer.

 

I plan to do some step by step pictures next time and will post them up.

Thanks Griff, got the gist of it. I think I'll wait to see your pictures
