Reaper6 from Swadlincote. I've an idea where Griff is coming from. I've just finished a thumbstick for a good friend. It took a lot of time and effort to produce a 'one off'. Also I've made ferret and terrier boxes which are arguably overpriced. All I can say is come to the workshop and take the time to see what goes into making something unique. I've just been gifted a really nice Roe antler to make into something special. At the same time I've bought some rare coins to set in the horn, Country related. It takes time and money. I live in Moira. Jok.

There won't be another but your really only paying for for the carved handle cause the blade isn't the best they rust like f@ck,

Brambles. You must be a farmer. Everything you use just leave it lying where you last used it. Lol. The rain will do the rest. Lol. Know what pal ? If you look after a knife or any tool and have respect then rust just doesn't happen. Sorry mate but that comment was not called for. Jok.

Thanks Jok i was biting my tongue.

Jok I've got knives here I've had for over 35 year so don't talk to me about leaving things in the rain, all I'm getting at is I don't think the knife is value for money when it has a cheap opinel blade jmo,

Agree with brambles it's a cheap blade but a stunning piece of work on the handle... I personally don't see £295 but others might...

[delswal 3,819]

Ok guys so what is it worth? If anybody on else on here had made it and worked on it what would you charge for your time?

 

If anybody who makes one charges £10 per hour for their time, take into account of the cost of the blade and others expenses you would be lucky to break even.

 

Cracking job Gruff

Don't disagree about being a farmer then ffs. Lighten up mate, you know what I was getting at. I bet your 35 year old knives are """.......... Well not sharp. Lol. Jok.
