Hi good people,
here's the latest one off my bench,still have to make a case for it but other than that it's about ready
It's a O/A 255mm (10") ,Full integral,14260 spring steel,fiber liners,stainless pins,stag,Inlays: blacklip MOPand gold,carved leather sheath,sole author yours truly![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Bit of a trivia with this one,it was a bit of a "back to the basics" project,it was forged and stock removed from a leaf spring off a dump truck that has met it's untimely demise in a quarry accident ,the only power tools used were an angle grinder for the heavy lifting and a drill for the holes,the rest was just hand tools,so it's a true 100% hand made and one of a kind,hope you'll like
Cheers![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
