Hey John is that damasteel or some other variation? Looks stunning.
hi shelley just plain old l6 and o1 Damascus cheers john
ps did your knives arrive back
Yeah mate, thanks for the feedback, made myself a 2 x 72 inch belt sander now, so that's made some things a bit easier, been getting lots of different belts and learning their characteristics, now need a drill press and a scroll saw.
Someone gave me a polisher but I am a bit nervous, seems like an easy way to stick a pointy knife somewhere I do not want it.
I have been going through and thinning down some handles and you are right, much more comfortable.
Did you make that Damascus yourself or buy it from someone, all the Damascus I have looked at seems to cost an arm and a leg.
hi shelly yep pretty much the last of my home made stuff maybe one more bit laying around.drill press is a must even the 100 dollar ones from bunnings are good i used one for years still got it.whats the scroll saw for a metal cutting bandsaw is better.got a pick of your grinder would love to see it
cheers john
Treated myself. Wanted to add another Ripi Knife to my set. ( have a nice drop point, skinner and now this(bird and trout??)) Thanks for a great knife @john worthington. Steel is N690 SS, cant remember the handle but Australian made with some Auz timber and epoxy resin stuff. Not to sure on the sheath though lol. Damn thing arrived while wife was here so it now becomes a Xmas present . Got to wait until after Xmas to use it [emoji22]

Got the same issue, @Shelley has made this and my wife has received it and tucked it away while I'm at work, looking forward to chrissy...
Looks like some other nice little options in the process, look forward to seeing the results Shelley.
By the way love that sheath with the steel @HNTMAD

Top leather work Hntmad. You deserve to be supported because it is real world standard craftsmanship.
Thanks @Tahr, appreciate your endorsementQuote:

I've noticed when I buy the odd knife from America, like I do, the sheath leather is getting thinner and the stitching lighter. A sharp decline in quality.
