Nice one Bri. I do like brass bolsters.

Thanks guys,
I don't know if 304 would look better, but for me at least brass is cheaper and easier to work with
Hidden pins with one, I think nice, but not all the time.
Yeah Ian has defo got the knack, I try to do my best what hes tought me.

I do like brass bolsters.

Me too!!! I wish we'd see brass more often...


Clean knife! Doesn't get any more classic than that, I'd say.

I'm a bit surprised to see this one pop up on Custom & Handmade again!
Nice to see that you appreciate a bit of brass. I decided to use brass as I didn't have much time to make it and it's obviously quicker to mill/finish than stainless.
The handle material was chosen via the "What have I got lying around?" method.
Thanks for the comments...all very much appreciated.

Ian.
