I would love the chopper and the machette

[Sjt657 191]

I would love the chopper to but to close to Christmas

[midnight 657]

After xmas maybe I will have worked out how to make them easier to reproduce .

Laser cutting is the best option followed by proffesional heat treating . The thing that would cripple me would be the minimum order , I would probably have to get 50 of each cut and I worry they would be £45 each ....

When I have the spare money to pay for the CAD design il get them quoted up .

Personally I don't have use for a cleaver but I use a machete all the time so I gotta have one of those for myself .

I really do want to push on with the axe design in the new year , I hope there will be a good market for those with bushcraft types as well as us hunting types ...

Evenings Matt,

 

I had a link off you previously for knife sharpening but I lost it.

Can you recommend the grit for Victorinox butchers knives and Wustof knives.

I came across uk.knivesandtools which had Naniwa whetstones.

 

Cheers,

Phil

I have a Japanese style sword blade iv been working on (on and off) for 2 years .

Anyway I just got an mot failure on my van and a bill of £500 to pay so I'm going to try to Finnish that and get it sold to help pay for it .

It's hand forged from a incredibly old half round file (the biggest iv ever seen )

It still needs heat treating, finnish grinding and polishing , but any collectors out there , if it survives heat treating it's going to incredible !!
