    Yes indeed. Hats off to Bruce, he runs an excellent course. Best day I’ve had for a long time.

    $300 for two days is bloody good value

    Here's the spread from our day - good variety and all solid efforts

    For a forum member, something different.
    Brief was something light, easy to clean and light.
    Modified Kephart, skeletonised handle, 12c27n, weights nothing and versatile.

    Did you weigh this? Looks sweet. Been thinking of doing something similar for myself. Feel good in hand?

    Ho Nick, no I didn't weigh it but it was like a feather.
    It was much more comfortable in hand than I thought it would be. I spent a fair amount of time rounding and softening all the edges. It also gives an option of wrapping the handle in paracord.
    An interesting build that is a very light and practical field knife.
