    Couple fresh off the glueing up process, ready to be shaped up, including my first ever tapered tang, the tapering is a tad subtle due to me being nervous, would I do another, well it’s a lot of work, but probably.

    Oh Dear Oh Dear........Oh effing Dear!. PC Crap, or Lawyers legalise?

    As a side interest, having an interest in the Maori Land Wars, being relocated to "Wanganui without an H", re-enacting the 65 th Regiment of Foot, general interest, curiousity and also combating the rewriting of New Zealand History solely to suite the Show Ponys application to access the UN trough, I acquired one of these.

    NOT, I hasten to say via Amazon, but from a Jaffasville supplier.

    "BUY New Zealand"

    In my case, a New Zealand maker and also a New Zealand retailer. Anyway, if you are still with me I move to the purpose of this post, which is to ridicule the this entry on the Amazon web site which you will encounter should you scroll down the site.

    Another couple of knives. O1 steel and teak. Have some stainless off getting hardened. Pretty impressed with the edge holding and sharpenability. Seems reasonably rust resistant with a forced patina. Ill see how these go 'in the bright'Name:  P_20200528knife.jpg

    Shiny knife from @terryf - just beautiful burr wood. If members haven't had the pleasure of Terry's first class customer service then give him a go.

    And a Lionsteel M1 - a wee knife in 390.
