I import it all from different places the steel is a special Japanese one and I get it direct from Japan, the wood I get from Russia, the US among others, I have friends overseas that source items for me when I need them.

10mm is the hole size.
I still have to fill in 5 holes from old buggered sling mounts but would like to try to hide those and I have an old manky 303 stock that might donate some of itself to but I'll have to get a plug drill if I go that way.
Nice knives by the way. Makes my 25 year old unfinished project from an old file look way way rough lol.

Depth?

I would need 2 at 5mm or longer to sand back once glued and 2 at 8mm or longer.
They are for some hand/home made stock recoil bolts.
thank you @Nga

I finally got around to taking some of my collection whilst shooting pics for the shop.

This is a fixed blade art knife made by Corrie Schoeman in the late 70's. I don't know which steels were used in the making of the blade.
A good few spots and marks on the blade but then it is 40+ years old. I might have a crack at cleaning them off some time but for now its oiled and stored.

Never came with a sheath as it was meant to be displayed.

Good timing to post as just bought a knife from @terryf




Giraffe bone handle. Fantastic service and comms. Will be a regular customer of Terry's.

Look forward to doing business with you again

Following on from the previous post - here's a fixed blade art knife by the late Fanie Le Grange also from the early 80's

Very nice Terry, I like the restrained jimping.

Some of favourite knives. The 2 engraved Benchmades I gave to my sons. The other Benchmade is current favourite.

Wrap it up mate, it’s my birthday, you shouldn’t have...

Hahaha...you are right. You'll have to come over and have a look at it. A bit different from the other Nikl's as has more meat in it.
