Thank you Simon 👍

Yes it is different and not to everyone’s taste, but I plan on keeping this one for myself.

I have got a few different ideas 👍

I managed to spend an hour this evening in the shed, to finish off the knife.

Very pleased with the end result 👍

Perfect. I knew that you would think of something very fitting for the crown end.

Well done.

there is nothing more pleasing than receiving a little hand made gift in the post FOC....i have a really nice handmade bottle opener and wine bottle stopper...which i love using

I like you Simon, was lucky enough to receive an antler bottle opener from Old Boggy, and regularly use it, and is very well made 👍

OB kindly sent me 4 bottle stopper kits to try out a few weeks ago, and I like OB thoroughly enjoy making them out of scrap pieces of wood.

i worked with some very curvy antler ..almost a half moon shape......i havt any pics anymore...wonder if anyone has a curved opinel i made for them...if so put a pic up..

This is the Opinel No.7 that you very kindly made for me Simon and it has quite a curve to it as you can see. A credit to your skill.

Also, a piece of curved antler if it`s any use to you Kevin (Shambam1962) to try to do something with it. Let me know and I`ll get it in the post. Could polish up a lot lighter.

The knife looks very nice with the brass pommel 👍

Yes please Chris, and I will send you a very nice wood turning parting knife in exchange 👍

I actually have 2 of the parting knives, and the second one came in a job lot of chisels.

I am almost sure it is made by Crown Tools, and is very good quality and has a very slim blade 1/8” or 3/16 thickness 

Thanks Chris
