    The glistening is tiny bit of oil from frypan to protect it. The rust descale wheel on angle grinder brought it back and new stoning kit worked a treat at restoring abused edge

    Something for cutting string, bale wrap, the occasional rabbit - or anything else that needs a bit of slicing.

    Was going through dad’s knife draw in the kitchen tonight and dug this out of the back of the draw. It’s definitely carbon steel and I’m wondering if it’s an older Green River. Victorinox boner for scale

    Got bored so made a push dagger for the cabinet, obviously it’s not ideal for hunting but fun to make.

    Nice looking filleter, what kind of wood are the scales made of?
