Honestly I didn't notice, but I am indeed appreciative, as from context you've done me a favour. Thanks. -
Walther LGV Master Pro air rifle from Walther is the pinnacle of their highly regarded LGV range that is one of the most versatile spring rifles that is available today.

This is not only for looks however and provides a sure grip, even in wet conditions. The Walther features an internal Vibration Reduction spring and piston system that significantly reduces recoil leading to more comfort, but also better accuracy. This accuracy is further improved by the rifles high power which ensures the pellet stays true through out its flight.

These were among the orders we had to get finished and sent to North America, aeb-l stainless with curly birch and elk antler.

I am so sorry for the late reply- got caught up trying to be a full time cabbie, and getting all the orders done for Xmas. Will send a pm re costings.

Thanks. Am working my way through the list of orders to get people's knives to them before Xmas, but should knives be wanted in the new year, we're happy to make them from the steel and handle material requested.

Thanks, went to get some firewood in my taxi earlier, and took him as he's getting a stove installed same week I am - showed him the knife, it needs buffing and the edge refining, but he was like the proverbial dog with 2 appendages, loved it, which makes me happy.

Opinel carbon steel knives Following on from a post last year where a member wished they could get a sheepsfoot santoku kitchen knife without kullenschliff notches, we mentioned we were making one, and someone said to share once it was done. We made a sheepsfoot santoku and a bunka from o1 tool steel. The bunka was claimed by a customer, who wanted it handled with field maple burl with a brass bolster, and given a full height flat grind. The santoku was set aside as a gift for a friend who had helped us lots with plumbing issues, and was just buying his first house. He has Swedish heritage, so It was given a curly birch and elk antler handle with brass bolster, and a sabre grind to show the forging marks. Cutting them out left an interesting little blade blank over, which we made into a little paring blade, handled with the butt of a Scandinavian hatchet a customer asked us to rehaft. The bunka went down a treat, and the santoku and parer have made a Scandinavian plumber very pleased.

Selling this for a friend, as he just bought it when he was buying his first house recently, and seriously underestimated the work needed doing! Bought new, shot handful of times, it's as new condition, with less than 500 through it, and cleaned thoroughly after each shoot. All the bits in the box, gun slip included in price. £1800 or near offer. Located in East London, rfd to rfd available, more pics on request.

Have had one for a while, love it, cycles 24g upwards, flawlessly, and it fits me well so it hits beautifully. Reliable, light, love it.

Don't know where you are, but Leech and sons in Boreham, Essex, opened up the barrel of my browning auto 5 from extra full to half for about £40/£50 (can't remember) and made a perfect job, absolutely lovely. Also serviced my friend's 682 ready for sale, and it was like a Swiss watch afterwards.

Thanks, I've got several on the bench for paying customers at the moment, but this one is for a pal whose just bought his first house, and got his fac (.22 + .308) in the same year, he's a superb lad and has helped us out a few times, so only fair I make him a nice kitchen knife or 2 to celebrate his wins. The handle on this will be curly birch with elk antler and brass accents, as he's part Scandinavian, and it'll wear a nice high grind, with the spine rounded over to make for more comfortable 2 handed use (pushing though squash for example), and maybe some filework if I get the chance. Our lockdown business was setting up a sharpening business, and I've handled most kitchen knives in the last 18 months, if you'd like some advice on cutlery, give me a pm, I'm happy to help. There are others on here far more knowledgeable than I, but what knowledge I have is for sharing.

Funnily enough, am grinding a sheepsfoot kitchen knife from o1 tool steel at the moment, it's 2mm stock, planning on a nice high grind, and a curly birch or maple burl handle. We've some lovely 26c3 and aeb-l stainless in addition to the o1, can knock you one up without Granton notches, with your choice of handle, give us a pm if you fancy it.

Swedish steel is fantastic, and many Japanese knives are made with it- it's a selling point like "Sheffield steel" or "solingen", just let's the buyer know the materials are quality.

If you want inexpensive carbon steel kitchen knives, Old Hickory knives, made by ontario knife and tool company, are a no frills, wooden handled knife, with blades of 1095 carbon steel. They'll sharpen on the bottom of a tea cup, and hold a razor edge. Their paring knives are the best steak knives I've seen, so easy to keep sharp, and cheap enough to buy a few . Moonraker knives has them, they do a set of 5 for 70 quid, their 8 inch slicing knife is £12 - I keep one at my folks, as they have a stainless sabatier which goes blunt if you use it to slice the string off a joint of meat. The old hickory sits in a drawer, unused for day to day tasks, I keep it razor sharp, and dad cuts slices of beef you could read the paper through. You can still get carbon steel knives, a lot of Japanese knives are carbon steel core with stainless cladding, or plenty of custom.makers use carbon steel, and make kitchen knives by hand for less than the price of a mass produced global or similar; for a good quality knife that'll do the job for pennies, you can't beat old hickory. Just bear in mind they'll rust whilst you look.at them given half a chance, dishwashers will kill them dead, and they'll develop a patina of use and age which isn't to all tastes. You can remove it with polish or abrasives, but the oxidisation provides protection against rust, so better to leave it on.

A friend has given up shooting, so gave me his Laurona 12 bore double trigger over/under. It's seen some use but it's a good solid gun. It does, however, mean I've got 7 guns in what was bought as a 6 gun safe. Then last week a friend passed away, leaving me his 5 guns. I need to make some space, and the laurona is sat behind a 682 gold e, so I doubt I'll use it, so I'm offering it free to anyone who'd like a knockabout o/u. I'm in hornchurch in East London, and tbh I'm unlikely to rfd it, so local, and obviously, sgc ticket holders only. Any use to anyone?
