Ok, so, i've been doing quite a lot of knife making since my last posts... havent had a camera to take pictures of them, but i'm pleased with the overall quality of my work. So... i'm now taking orders for custom blades! I currently have access to 2 types of steel, 5160 high carbon, which is an excellent all round steel, and preferable for heavier blades designed for chopping, but also makes good smaller blades. I also have limited stock of L6 steel, which is also a high carbon steel, which makes very nice bushcraft blades, thinner blades and kitchen/light utility blades.

well, first for the "bugger" bit. we werent sure about one of the timbers we used for the longbow i was building, tasmainan oak/victorian ash (same damn thing). alas, it has no compressive strength, and we got a compression fracture in one of the limbs. we saved the boo though, and we have another stave glued up and waiting for shaping, with a bamboo back, the bulk of the bow made from merbau, and a handle from jarrah :) hopefully this one works out better than the last! i now have a decent handle on the working techniques that go into making a bow like this, so i should be able to proceed faster.
and the WOO! i sat exams a while back for en

Thank you for adding my knife to your favorites!
No worries mate! I really like the handle. I've made a few little kiridashi style blades, but never thought to do a twist handle. Watch this space, i will probably knock one out in the same sort of style at some point i reckon, would make a nice little EDC 
I look forward to seeing how it comes out!
Thank you for the support.
No worries mate, awesome work!
Thank you, but don't give me all the credit your stuff is just as great.
Thanks for the fav!
