Well, here they are, warts and all.

Few little bits I buggered up, but more than happy with the end result, handles need more oil and polish and I might do a bit more with the cutting edges but basically they are right to go, thanks for the comments, both critical and constructive. Image

I think Trevort was trying to have a bit of a dig at my lack of guzzling alcohol prowess, unlike his efforts where he knows no boundaries. :D

Yes Trev, I will be oiling them slowly and every now and then. :roll:

Well deserved praise.

We have the Wood Rubber, the Trigger Tickler and now, it seems we have the Cutlery Carver.
