    Nothing unique or particularly noteworthy, but a very sentimental knife for me. A wee Buck 303 that belonged to my grandfather. Just fished it out of a box. Currently pretty dull, but will be having a run over the stones this week.

    I'm not sure if I should be posting this in the humour section, or the things I hate ...............?
    My 18 year old son asked if he could grab a piece of emery tape out of the workshop? "No problem" I said, "The rolls of emery tape are under the drill press. Just tear off what you need".

    Tonight I went to change the linisher belt, and went to grab a brand new belt off the wall hanger, .............................................

    I am truly lost for words!!!
    He's a good kid, but I would dearly love to kick his arse until his nose bleeds.
    I have yet to find what he used to cut the bloody 2" section of belt out that he needed!

    Had a few rainy days and some time to finish a couple of knives.
    First one is a medium sized hunting knife with 2.6mm thick carbon blade, with teak scales thanks to @gonetropo and brass& lanyard tube pins.
    I also cut some jimping grooves with a small file I found at the op shop.
    The sheath is made from an old school satchel.

    Second knife is much lighter and made of an old 1.5mm saw blade, annealed, heat treated and tempered.
    the scales are made from an australian kanuka tree, I planted 20 years ago, but died last year and I used some bits and pieces for the scales and some for the wood burner.
    The wood is stabilized and oiled with linseed and turps.
    I used red G10 liners and brass and stainless steel pins.
    Next rainy days I might have time to start on the sheath, but might even skip that idea, as my wife mentioned she would love to use it in the kitchen..
