    Couple fresh off the glueing up process, ready to be shaped up, including my first ever tapered tang, the tapering is a tad subtle due to me being nervous, would I do another, well it’s a lot of work, but probably.

    Another couple of knives. O1 steel and teak. Have some stainless off getting hardened. Pretty impressed with the edge holding and sharpenability. Seems reasonably rust resistant with a forced patina. Ill see how these go 'in the bright'Name:  P_20200528knife.jpg

    Shiny knife from @terryf - just beautiful burr wood. If members haven't had the pleasure of Terry's first class customer service then give him a go.

    And a Lionsteel M1 - a wee knife in 390.

    Anyone done the Lost Arts 1 day Knife making course?

    https://lostarts.co.nz/1-day-knife-course

    Mrs got it for me for my birthday and quite looking forward to it.

    Any designs that anyone would recommend? Thinking a camp cleave type style as a utility/do all knife like this


    But not sure if they are that practical? Thoughts?
