They were common, with leather rings for the handle, I can remember taking the handle to pieces when I was younger and how difficult it was to get it back together. The sheaths we’re riveted, I haven’t found that so far!Quote:

To be fair I’m as pure as the day I was born, never tried any drugs that weren’t prescribed by my Doc! I’ve always seen it as a weekness, and am a little bit pedantic about what goes into my body! Saying that I smoked till I was 23 hahahaha

Plenty of cannabis around in my younger days, alcohol was mainly draught beer, had the old bing on vodka, blackberry nip, but learnt hangovers were a pain in the arse when I was in my 30s. Hate being pissed, but enjoy wine, beer or a good whiskey, on a regular basis in small doses. If I keep talking like the I’ll be joining a church singing hallelujah and talking in tongues.Quote:

Attachment 180044 , an important knife for me this one. Last of the lock down knives I got finished. Stainless 14c28n stainless Mamba. Stabilized Rimu with lime green Juma snake skin handles. G10 liners and pin stock.
This is the last knife to come off my little 1 x 30 grinder.
It's nearly worn out now but has been a great little machine and I have learned a hell of a lot using it.
I now have my 2 x 72 grinder running so the level and learning go up again.
Hi team, just want to give a big shout out to @terryf from Knives4Africa, we made me a bespoke sheath for my Mora Kansbol, rapt with it, big thanks again Terry

Scouser’s Bushcraft Knife Project Phase 3
The red G10 Liners arrived from @Shelley, big thanks mate, he also sent me some S/S pipe and brass rod for the rivets, I decided to make all 3 Stainless Steel….
So first was to open up the existing holes in the blank handle from 5mm to 8mm in my milling jig

Then turn the two S/Steel pins

Then score up the blade handle section with the Dremel to give the Epoxy glue a good chance to stick, and rough up both sides of the Liners……
