chickenman 4 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Cheers for the comments gents. To answer a couple of your comments.....very well spotted as regards to Dorset Woodlands blades, Duncan who makes those blades is my buddy and it is he who supplies me the blanks. For those who dont know a blank is the billet of metal in the shape of a knife but no edge, the edge I grind later. Not only that, Duncan taught me how to grind blanks into blades and so without doubt I will have picked up some of his traits when making a blade. The handles, well they actually look far better in the 'flesh' as such. The lighter colour is Corian and the swirl pattern is acrylic which was made for a lady deer stalker. I have to admit my own preference is now the acrylic handle as far easier to keep clean...I will try and post some more examples. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi I am afraid I only make my own knives as putting handles on just is not worth the hassles as it would take time and not be worth the hassle. Why dont you have a bash at doing it yourself??

Glad your knife you made is serving you well. i know he is still after one, he could not believe how it kept its edge. i got a mate to make me a walnut handle its not much to look at but it fits my hand very well. hope your keeping well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
