robmiller Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ok, i am a DIY and instruction following retard. However, i am looking to see if anyone would have any plans or ideas for me to treat myself to a hand made personalised sheath knife or walking stick? I am looking for something with my initials (or my dads initials as a present) or even both as this could be something he could have and pass down. We have a tradition that initials are passed down JRM and JWM in our family so this may be an engraving idea. Could anyone help possibly?

rimfire4969 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Plenty of people out there making custom knifes, have a look HERE all these knifes are custom made and i think Bison are one of the best makers around. Be prepered to pay quite alot for something like these and there is also a waiting list. I am going to get my son one of these for his 18's birthday, but i do have a few years to save up for it. A stick you should be able to get alot cheaper. There always people selling there own at country fairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Or HERE or your own knife kit to make. Much cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldwanderer Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Have a go yourself, it's really satisfying! I made one for myself and a little one for the missus and put the pictures online - I found myself making a knife for someone online (to his spec) for £125!! I did used to be a welder / fabricator though so not totally clueless but anyway it's a very rewarding challenge. Pics of my knifes here; The one I made for the guy; The mrs's in progress - I fitted pink wood scales to it for her; My first, with mahogonny scales (If I can do it, so can you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
