    Is there a name for that finish on the heel/spine of the knife, always really liked that look.

    I just beat the shit out of it mate, it deforms the Damascus and creates the pattern otherwise the lines would be straight and boring.

    I would like to know which website you are getting your wood and steel from, does not seem to be the gameco/artisan one I use...

    I import it all from different places the steel is a special Japanese one and I get it direct from Japan, the wood I get from Russia, the US among others, I have friends overseas that source items for me when I need them.

    I get it from Russia and the US, very little is purchased here, it’s to pricey and limited. Hopefully that will improve.

    So want one.

    Loved the Fox River but handle was too short for me. Looks like BRK listened and put a Gunny handle on a Fox River blade. Genius. Now how do I afford (another)one?

    10mm is the hole size.
    I still have to fill in 5 holes from old buggered sling mounts but would like to try to hide those and I have an old manky 303 stock that might donate some of itself to but I'll have to get a plug drill if I go that way.
    Nice knives by the way. Makes my 25 year old unfinished project from an old file look way way rough lol.
