TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 I have just nipped in to Peterborough to meet David aka Gamekeeper 1960. He has been making a pair of sticks for me which I have now collected. A quick shot of the two heads laying in my boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had better discuss that with Gamekeeper 1960, but I will say I am very happy and hope that my eldest Son is too when his birthday comes around in July.

Walker570 Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Nice job TC and a nice birthday pressy. I made a pair of almost identical knives for a friend and his son with their initials on each. These things are to keep for ever and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
