    I found this knife when cleaning out a shed.
    I can't make out the language written on the blade,looks Finnish maybe?

    Nice wee knife with cruciform blade,some one took some time making that.

    nearly finished this Bob Engnath design. Pretty thin behind a wicked edge in 14c28n and some flex in the end half of blade. Be good for processing animals or fish I would think.
    G10 scales quite nice to work with. Don't forget the respirator mask though.

    Nice man, Grinds getting better every knife! Look nice and thin. IMO behind edge geometry is the single most overlooked thing in knife design scrutiny

    Thanks, I think everyone I know has a hunting knife now so probably make some kitchen sets next.
    Using a clamp/guide to keep a clean ricasso is a must for me as the tracking on my linisher is a bit temperamental. I probably get more mileage out of my belts than is advisable. They aren't cheap.

    Here's one for the history buffs. A genuine Wilkinson sword fighting knife , 1st pattern , issued to my grandad in ww2.
    From my understanding a rare animal nowadays as this first pattern was only produced in very limited numbers.

    Do you mean measurements? I could do that for you and maybe some close up photos?
    You can probs get quite a bit of info off the web too. The second pattern version was more widely produced . The only real difference was a flat finger guard.

    I stuck a 100lb pig with my one of those,it was scary how the blade "slipped" into it.

    Just stunning Viper.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
