ditchman Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Getting on with the 2nd one of the pair...........i know some folk will think it is a bit "quirky" ....but in truth...i really like it ...it sits in the hand nice and is the right angle for cutting and cutting towards you..........it has gone together very well ...i thought it would be difficult cause of the shape....but it worked very well just got to do the rounded brass pommel now and clean an polish the body and the blade..............

I still like mine the best though. the thing is...when i have made them ...i hang on to them for a bit...to put a bit of "bloom" on the handle as they are so tactile (as Harnsner points out)...............the hard bit is packaging them up and going to the post office....its just difficult to let them go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
