    @Nick-D I wouldn't call that plain, nice clean lines looks very appealing to me.

    No idea man, mystery timber that a mate gave to me. Can't order any fresh supplies so scrabbling around with what I have on hand. Oiled with deck and furniture oil haha

    It's 1095 so will patina up pretty quick. Already taken o. Some character from that chopping session

    It almost looks like rewarewa.......that is a beautiful grained wood not disimalar to oak in that it has a honeycomb grain...but its harder than the hobs of hell when dry.....well worth the effort to find some.

    Lockdown end of week 3

    ..made a small caping knife from wife's old fruit bowl, wood unknown.
    Steel, old Solingen blade needed a lot of grinding to get the shape I wanted it.
    Brass pins and red micarta liners.
    Oal 18.5cm, blade 7.5cm, weight just over 50 grams

    Stay safe everyone!

    Stay safe everyone!
    That is just wrong on so many levels. For a start the cheese should be a Castello Blue.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Finished this little fella up. Small petty/chefs knife for the missus. She's got tiny hands so wanted somthing to fit.

    1095 with a subtle hamon. Turned out pretty good. Is nice and thin behind the edge so glides through veggies and the like.
