A work of art with a strong aesthetic appeal, love it!

First world war German trench knife.
I thought I lost it, nice to see it again.

Now that is a real piece of history there. If steel could tell stories

A set for a forum member, Fang trailing point and a Viper hunter.
Both in 1084, black and purple pearlescent handles with G10 liners and pins.

Big shout out @viper
I was the recipient of the above set and I'm sorry but the photo just doesnt do them justice. They look and feel amazing in person.
The whole experience was enjoyable, with getting regular emails and photos of progress through the different stages and the fact that nothing was a drama.....no matter how much I changed my mind
Couldnt be happier thanks mate
Cheers

Oh yeah......

new one of the bench forged 1075 integral with a banksia pod and resin handle

Here's my first crack at making a knife, nowhere near as good as what you fellas are making.
My metal work is rough but I think that suits the "reclaimed" sheep shear aspect and the blade is plenty sharp.

Does anyone know where I can get a decent Leather sheath made for it?

Hey mate, the shears had an existing clip(?) or something welded to the handle where I drilled out and put the brass pin in. Then I beat the shit out of the handle with a ball peen to fit the antler and once it looked like a good enough fit I 2 part epoxied under the steel handle across the antler. Seems sturdy as, just a bit concerned the shiny handle may blow my cover bush stalking.

Try saddlers.
Mate is one and he can make a good one.
