I have been promising to start making knives again for a very long time, and finally I have started!! I had some stainless and some carbon steel lying in the workshop. So made some knives out of each steel. I much prefer the carbon steels for their edge holding and the wonderful way they age. The steel takes on a patina all it's own.
The knife below is for my son Ben. It is a carbon steel 01 i think? a Micarta handle with white liners. I am hoping to help him make his own in the next holiday. He will have to help with the sheath of his own design.
This knife below was made for a mate of mine Bruce Lawson. I had promised him a knife years ago and just never got round to it. I bumped into Bruce in the Kruger and he reminded me of this fact! Thanks Bruce I hope you enjoy the knife.
If there are any guides out there who are looking for a hand made knife that will give a life times service give me a shout to discuss design ideas.
