    Hi team, well John’s donated stabilized Rimu arrived at the weekend (huge thanks again mate), so its time to get my ‘A into G’

    First off, this will be a Bushcraft Knife, ive been getting into it lately and it’s a hobby I want to pursue in the future

    The knife will have ALL the attributes I want in this project, a true ‘one off’ even though it’s a production blank (Condor Bushlore)

    So it will have jimping, (for choking up) lanyard hole (orange paracord so I wont lose it) rounded pommel, (for ease of tip drilling) and a nice forward finger groove (for comfort)

    I will ‘base’ the overall shape on the ESEE RB3 knife (below)……

    First off, cut the Rimu into two scales, cutting with the woods grain

    Then in the milling machine, make both scales flat, square, parallel and the same size…..watch this space
