I've made three of them for myself, but someone always asks if I can make one for them , so I just give them the one I'm wearing(I always was as soft as shite). I really enjoy making those saxon/viking knives . I make them from van coil springs. Did the sycamore chopping board stand the test of time ?. I made quite a few from sycamore and lime , and quite a few from oak. when i moved one of the boxes from the kitchen went missing...so the chopping board is nor more.. tell you what .....if i stropped one of those saxon knives you made ...i tekon i could shave with it...the blade was thin enough and hard enough to take a shaving edge,, clever bugger you are Edited November 9, 2023 by ditchman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a few ready for a Christmas craft fair that lins doing . My chef stepson , told me that the herb chopping knives , shouldn't be too sharp . He reckons that a blunter knife , sort of crushes the herbs as you're chopping, and releases more smell/flavour. I'd love to be able to make an open razor. Not that I ever really shave , I'm a right tramp . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
