mole trapper 1,646 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Forgot to say sorry, they will both have liners, not decided which colours yet though. Loveless bolts in either brass and ss, or copper and ss, or brass and copper. Edited March 27, 2019 by mole trapper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its my OCD side I've already bought my domain names and email address, it is going to run with the same name as my cider line! I think it will keep HMRC, accounts etc more straightforward. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mole trapper 1,646 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Rough shaping done on the next one, not used g10 liners before not sure I will again, just have to see how it turns out, the birds eye maple is more interesting than I thought it would be though.

Katchum said: What’s the deal with liners mate, fiddly to use or just too much trouble for what they are? Looks good tho They looked totally naff when I first put them on. My mate who makes knives for a living insisted it would be fine once I'd sanded and oiled. He was of course correct I would use g10 again now I see the light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mole trapper 1,646 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Oh one other thing! My bevels are pretty shocking I know. I had to do them free hand, but now ordered a bevel jig, also a knife vice so quite an expensive week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mole trapper 1,646 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I do like liners too, they really can set off a knife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The steel from GFS, and some of the wood. Most of the components so far have been off the bay (cheaper), In fact actually, now I come to think about it, nearly everything is from the bay, even stuff for the leatherwork, with exception of the hide which I bought from Italy.
