  1. Very nice indeed. Again a bargain. As you know i like o1 steel.
  2. Yes he is,- some friends of mine have his Fieldcrafter knives, and they are doing most everything with them. Great blades.
  3. Yes i think thats the way for him to go. Thanks
  4. A friend of mine, now retired, and looking for something to keep active, is looking to breed rabbits for meat. He asked me about best breeds, and rearing cages etc. I've no idea but thought someone on here may know. Any info anyone ? A DVD would be a great help also.
  5. Some great knifemakers on this site. Good info from Midnight.
  6. Mine will be black micarta,- the wood looks great but i prefer micarta. I normally just do white or light handles but thought mine would look better with all the brass. Another photo of his. I like the style and feel.
  7. They are not mine. Just give him a call for all the info.
  8. What i hope it looks something like when finished.. This one is my mates
  9. The idea was to peen over onto the brass butt plate, but the knife had been fully heat treated all the way, and you couldn't mark the steel, so the brass plate is silver soldered on. I'm just glueing the liner to the slab. It will have brass pins. It should look ok i hope.
  10. This is the latest blade i'm working on, its D2 5mm thick bushcraft type. Brass butt plate.

  14. Purpleheart is a great wood on a knife. Look at the waiting list for Ray Mears knives, at inflated prices when you can get knives like these, and Midnights knives at these bargain prices. Very nice and practical knives.
  15. It explains how 5160 is the better steel, but also other types if you can't get 5160 type

  18. With Araldite, the mix must be equal,- and mix it well before adding the powder, and it should be fine.
  19. Andy Kelly is on The Hunting Life, yes he sells them.
