Not saying it is not possible and I have an Opinel which lies in pieces waiting for me to try and buidl one myself. I don't believe I could get close.

Old Boggy Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I do believe that the one in the last three photos is the one that Simon so kindly made for me, for which I feel very privileged and honoured to have received. It will always be treasured and has just been put to good use yet again in breasting out the only three pigeons that I managed to shoot yesterday on my short trip out. So, many thanks again Simon.
