LOL - noted.
I'd hoped to have tried this knife by now but haven't fired a shot in anger for several weeks despite being "out there" - the fishing lust took over!!
This knife is truly "alive in the hand" and best of all last night managed to catch up with @viper and we had a great yarn. Its the best of the forum when one can chuck ideas round, do deals and get a neat result.
I need to get a sheath made for it and bowl a big redskin over to try it!!
Just finished hunting knife, made from Japanese non stain steel cleaver.
Design inspired by Green river hunting knife.
Bur-wood scales made from wife's old fruit bowl.
Green micarta linings and brass pins.
Leather sheath made from old school bag.
Total cost less than $20 + a few afternoons fiddling around.

Finally finished this up, was meant to be black with a rust blued blade but couldn't get a consistent finish on the rust blue so after 4 rounds of re hand sanding I settled with a clean satin finish.
Full sized edc style blade with Black micarta, red g10 liners & 1095 high carbon steel. Grind is a thin, full flat grind (.005 behind the edge.) should be a sick cutter. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...97a90cec3c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0ff8e4400c.jpg

That transcends knives and is more in the realm of art. Add in the 0.005" behind the edge... that is something quite special.
Just finished .
Krait model in D2 , dual layer Micarta from the states with toxic yellow and black liners. Very sharp, small and handy.Attachment 146417
Off to a new home, again thanks for forum support .
Here's one for the history buffs. A genuine Wilkinson sword fighting knife , 1st pattern , issued to my grandad in ww2.
From my understanding a rare animal nowadays as this first pattern was only produced in very limited numbers.

Excellent knife! Thank you Viper. Was hoping to post some shots of the knife, in use. But sadly I aint shot any animals lately. For all you guys contemplating buying a quality knife, get hold of Duncan, the service is amazing, he keeps you informed along the whole build process, and the knife was everything I expected and more.
Now I like that A LOT:thumbsup: had a green river knife when I was a kid. The old man took it out and lost it while feeding out:oh noes: love the work you have put in there:thumbsup: @diana2
Always wanted another....? I’ll if your interested in making me one could you pm me a price and I’ll let you know. Thanks:)

Finished for a forum member, Mamba model hunter. Ringed Gidgee with toxic green and black liners.
Carbon pins and a slicey full flat grind.
Looking forward to seeing it in action.
