35 knives for this first batch, didn't want to get too crazy since I had a bunch of fine tuning to do, plus I had to get some sold before I'm living on the street lol!

Very interesting Jack! There were some aspects of it that didn't come to light until I started putting them together. It's really a beautiful pattern.

I'm glad that you like it Eric, I'd love to hear anything you want to post about making the pattern :) It's incredible how it kind of came from nowhere in the mid to late 19th century, and then absolutely exploded in England, with hundreds of Sheffield cutlers making it. It still dominates the British traditional knife market today, and it's been very rewarding to see how folks in the USA have taken to the pattern in the 21st century :) :thumbsup:
 
Mesquite fixed blade with a custom sheath that's getting good use
Even though I felt it's a little larger than I liked for an EDC fixed blade I wanted one in Mesquite and missed Albers drop
I was able to pick this up from a good member and the size is not that bad it's been carried used and sharpened
Eric ea42 ea42 we need more fixed blades :)
