Whitebridges Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 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 ?
