Another knifemaker saying hi

[HillBill]

Hi folks.

My names Mark, i'm 33 from west yorkshire. I've been into bushcraft and general outdoor stuff since i was a kid. I was in the military for 8 years, 3 years in the british army and 5 in the French foreign legion. Some may recognise me from other forums. I joined here a while back and have lurked a bit so i thought i was time i said hello and contribute where i can.

I've been making knives since 2009 and have recently built a website and started doing it full time in July.

Here are a few examples of what i make, Hope to have some good chats with like minded folk.

Atb,
Mark

Welcome! Nice work on those handles, love the wood and the finish. Is that lacquer or just natural sheen from a high polish? You should pop over to Shop Talk also and say hi there. And maybe pick yourself up a makers membership too, eh? Otherwise you may get your link removed by the mods for advertising.

 

[HillBill]

Thanks, and for the advice also

The handles are just sanded, oiled and buffed with vonax
