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

    Yes indeed. Hats off to Bruce, he runs an excellent course. Best day I’ve had for a long time.

    For a forum member, something different.
    Brief was something light, easy to clean and light.
    Modified Kephart, skeletonised handle, 12c27n, weights nothing and versatile.

    Did you weigh this? Looks sweet. Been thinking of doing something similar for myself. Feel good in hand?

    Ho Nick, no I didn't weigh it but it was like a feather.
    It was much more comfortable in hand than I thought it would be. I spent a fair amount of time rounding and softening all the edges. It also gives an option of wrapping the handle in paracord.
    An interesting build that is a very light and practical field knife.

    The old Svord bird and trout knife.

    Stag handle.

    Stupid me left it dirty in its sheath for a month as I thought I'd cleaned it. Doh!

    Bummer! Never leave carbon steel in its sheath long term, the leather holds moisture.

    That should clean up easy enough though.
