For Sale Sharp Things

[midnight 657]

just for the sake of variety i thought i would try a new title the "HAND MADE KNIVES" has been done to death ha ha

 

these are made by a small team of robots in my garden shed ..

lets give them an letter and number this time so i dont get confused with pms from the last lot .

 

A1 10" over all lenght 5.5" blade . blade is w2 from a quality file , handle is leather, buffalo horn. red stag and marlee burr.

1.5mm leather belt carry sheath with press stud fastening .

3/4 flat grind with micro bevel for easy sharpening .

£70 cover paypal fees and first class recoded postage uk only.

 

 

 

B2 this one the robots struggled with , it was a test to see if they where upto the job ....

its a little crazy , but sexy , useful but probably not made for really really hard work , i think the owner should name it "the wife"

9.5" over all lenght . 4.5" blade . marlee burr , buffalo horn and red stag handle with steel cross guard and W2 blade (its better than o1 tool steel you know ) with scandi grind . 1.5mm leather belt carry sheath .

£70 covers fee postage same as allways .

 

 

 

 

 

are you ready ???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here goes .

 

 

C3 this one is a glimpse of a new production knife . the finnished version will not be this exact shape and there will be a few more like this one with a constant evolution of design and shaping over the following weeks .

its based on a bob loveless 4" drop point hunter , arguable the most succesful knife of modern times , its price now ,if made by the late bob loveless can be in the tens of thousands ...

anyway , its a great design and as long as us makers give credit to original designer and maker we are ok to use the design . loveless knives are the sumit of knife making mountine so i dont even attempt to copy that but , i want a working mans knife with the same design principals but my styling .

so its 3mm o1 tool steel blade , you guessed it 4" blade and 8 3/4" total length.

it has an experimental grind on it with no plunge line , its been blended from full 3mm thick to almost 0 . with almiost a flat grind it has a micro bevel for sharpening , this has been proffesionaly blackened for stain and corrosion resistance , this i may or may not keep for the finnished design (its expensive)

apple jack dymond wood handles (deffo not on production knife , it cought fire again !)

3.5mm leather belt carry sheath .

this one is redy to go and feel i should keep it but you know how it is !!

£90 covers firstclass recorded post and paypal fees

 

 

 

i will add a couple more over the next few days , im a bit snowed under with order and feeling the presure if im honest . im out of steel and herd today it will be next week before my order arrives, so i will have to work with what i have and get those robots working like mad !!
