Some awesome knives there mate....Do make knives as a hobby or sideline business.

you just need to start with a sharp one Mohawk

hey Mohawk,
I mostly do it for fun . ive sold a few ,but it mostly just covers the materials . had a go at a small production run of hunting knives , and sold a few . I really like making reproductions of old knives . this is a copy of the type of knife the nz bushrangers like von tempsky probably would have used .

Brilliant AH

Great new Sheath from HGD - will get some pics up shortly

I've had very little luck tracking down its heritage , and some very knowledgeable people have been trying to help ,
from the pattern and a few manufacturing details it was made sometime between 1850 -1890 . That's a bit vague I know but its the best I've got
I carry it everyday at work , and it earns it keep .
