Looks to be 5 inches, I still carry my Mercator on the hill for gutting and field dressing but love a good fixed blade for breaking down animals once recovered this knife will be with me for a long time to come.

I have always liked a long blade.
I can cape animals just as well with my 6" blade as I do my dedicated caping knives.
Just got to keep that last 1" or so at the tip, razor sharp which can be hard for me

Damn it all out of unicorns

Not a knife, but part of a knife making kit ……… a new anvil.

Its a legendary Peter Wright. Markings are a bit hard to make out so I haven't been able to narrow down its date of manufacture yet, but its very lack of markings would suggest that it is an early manufacture, possibly 1830-1852 vintage. Weighs in at 333lb by the stamps (151kg). I am told that it came out of Flock House (the agricultural training centre).

In the process of making up a wooden block stand out of 100x200 timber on end, with a 40mm thick steel plate on top, left 'rustic flame cut'. The plate was a disc put out of a bigger plate to make a pipe flange and weighs 75kg. All up with the wooden block the assembly is knocking on 250kg!

This reminds me, I have one of similar size, maybe bigger to collect

Gotta love those dlt packages. Picked up a wee case slip joint for my lil bro's 30th present, because every man should have a classic slip joint. Nice wee knife, edges need a tickle though.

Dlt had the yukon on sale so be rude not too pick one up. Been using a cheap cold steel cbk and while I don't love the knife itself I really like the profile.

The koa Yukon seems pretty nice, fit and finish is pretty good, not exceptional but perfectly acceptable for a $100 work horse. Factory edge is a little toothy but very sharp. Shaves hair ootb. Umed and ahhd between this and the lt wright northern hunter but in the end my preference for carbon steel(and my cheapness tbh) won out.

I can “tickle” up the edges if you want, I can take them to 50000 on diamond grit that will give you a polished edge that will allow you to whittle hairs if you want, I charge $5 per blade (if under 100 mm), you pay postage here and back.
If you are not happy with the edge then you don’t have to pay...

Is that folder a semiautomatic

My rifle scabbard mate also makes beauty knives as well....
It’s a folding knife as well,

Just finished making my 6th ever knife. Decided to have a go at something for the kitchen. This is my take on the Japanese Nakiri.
Blade is 52100 flat ground and heat treated to 60RC. Blade finish left as heat treated (tiger stripes from the anti-oxidising paste used for final hardening). There is a very small ripple in the edge of the blade, hence the wave in the edge sharpening, but I haven't been game to try and beat it out.
Handle is stabilised poplar burl with red stabilising epoxy, oiled with linseed.

Cuts real nice. Pretty happy and another big learning process.
