Finished this one on the weekend. It's 14c28n with hybrid scales blues with Bimble box burl stabilised. Should be a handy little knife. I wasn't 100% happy with it, but it's not too bad.
Thanks for looking :onya:

I made these five knives and sheaths for my Grand daughter and her fiance. Their for them to give to special people as a gift for helping at their engagement and wedding. Cut a few out six to be honest and stuffed one up, but ground them all and did the five that they wanted and gave them to them as an Engagement gift. Tried to make them all the same with different handle material on two and naturally their all different :ohwell:

Shane is going to be very happy with that, Ted.


Here is Trevor using his new knife on a MASSIVE Sambar I shot on the weekend.

Ted I must say that it’s way easier to keep a knife sharp than put on an edge from scratch but second go proved successful!

Thanks mate its very hard to see unless you know what to look for, but I do. ha ha. Looks like backstrap wants it for his mate. I probably gave it away too cheap, but it just annoyed me. He will have to pay for a sheath though as they cost me a fair bit for my mate to make them. He will get a good deal though. Zoom in the photo where my mark is showing and on the top of the ricasso there's a few small but deep scratches the belt made when I was straightening the bolsters. Probably only half a mm or so long, but no way can I sand them out. :D

Can’t get in close enough to see it so it mustn’t be there. Backstrap got a bargain for sure.
I was very close to asking you how much.

Ted’s knife thread

Post by trevort »

Rob he reckons there were three faults on the last one I bought. If I look really closely I can find one, and it’s insignificant and cosmetic. I’m so glad Ted has sharp eyes cos it does wonders for the pricing. I’m waiting for him to stuff up a straight boner

I only have the one bionic eye Trevor. One of these days I might cut out another one of those straight boners and try to fuck it up especially for you :lol: Anyway backstrap took your advice and got straight onto me. He is getting a bloody nice knife as I sort of really like it myself now its finished. :D

I bet you do Ted. I bet you do.

I was inspired just to go get my last one out of the bag and shave a few hairs off my arm and slice up some paper just reading the thread!
