    I'll take a photo tomorrow. Its only a small B & T - the handles around 3.5" and the blades around 3.6-7".

    Cheers.

    The light makes the blade look funny, but this should give you an idea of scale.

    Mark II is slowly getting built. Spent this morning shaping the bolster, peening the pins and filing. I will start sanding once I've pinned/epoxied the handle scales.

    Bird & Trout Mark II (top knife) - 90% completed. It still needs the bolster edges filed down/sanded, more oil rubbed into the handle and final sanding/polishing etc...

    I think they both look really nice but that bottom one maybe be better with 2 bolts? looks a little odd with one but still very nice work.

    The bottom one has two pins also, the back pin is quite thick and is hidden.
