    and that is a seriously good photographthe ?Damascus??? blade underneath reminds me of hydrographs ..cant for life of me think which movie starts with scene out of focus in tan colour...just like pattern on that blade. trick of light but those two blades almost look to be joined just up from hilt...a thing of beauty.

    I made a nice Oak handle for an Axe head I bought off the internet from Bulgaria.

    I wanted to make something different for the wife and over the Christmas period. Settled on a Japanese style Nakiri kitchen knife. My first crack at working with stainless Damascus also.
    Turned out ok, wife loves it.
    A big thanks to John Worthington at Ripi knives for giving me both the steel and micarta not to mention the advice. Name:  IMG_20220116_213302_175.jpg

    That's a lovely bearded axe! Skegox from memory. I've been keeping an eye out in the local dump shops for a semi decent axe head to attack with a grinder and make a kindling version.

    @chainsaw - great effort!

    Was that with Bruce out at Ness Valley?

    I did the course a few months back just after lock-down. Been meaning to put up some pics....
