Blimey, you must be as old as me to remember them :hmm:

Younger than you, but I do remember "The Army Game"

With William Hartnell as "Grimshaw" rather than Bill Fraser as "Snudge"

Was that before William Hartnell became the first Dr. Who ?

Sorry to derail your thread Ditchy. Oh by the way, that knife looks really good.

Yes, indeed. His Dr Who role was 1963, The Army Game was late 1950's

William Hartwell, Michael Medwin, Alfie Bass, Harry Fowler, Bernard Bresslaw, Frank Williams.

Ditchy, A bit of contrasting Ebony in place of the brass would look good too!

thick brass pommel is my signature..............i could put a sliver of ebony under it ...........

 

problem at the moment i am having problems sourcing good antler thick enough to make them....................opportunity there for someone...........?

just seen them on the internet as dog chews £6.29 for two...its the width that is the critical item.....

The Opinel no9 could be a bit large to some eyes. Have you considered making something smaller per se a no6?

You might just have antler to fit?   

even for a 6 ...its the cross section that is the most important...red or sitka..........the other stuff is good for full bladed knives with scales..........

I did think those bits I gave Overchoke for you where too small a diameter but you might find a use. The only stuff I have are on an 18 pointer hanging in our barbecue area and you ain't having the points of that.   The beam is no good I take it ?

where's yer BBQ...............:ninja:
