Campbell Bushcraft Knives Introduction

[Campbell Bushcraft Knives]

Hi All,

I thought I should give an introduction to those wondering who I am and what I do.

I'm a part time knife maker who lives not far from a town called Mylor, in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. I specialise in bushcraft type, Scandinavian ground stock removal knives, but also forge and grind knives with flat and convex grinds. I'd be happy to work with anyone over a custom design, knife restoration, sharpening, or any other knife related service. My email is jed.oliver.campbell@gmail.com, feel free to shoot me an email with any questions or queries.

In my spare time, when I'm not making knives, I play rugby, soccer, do some shooting/hunting, water sports, and ride my motorcycle.

Here are some pictures of my untidy shop and some past and present projects.

Thanks for reading.

(I made a similar post to this on the Australian BladeForums, where I've just started selling as well, for those who see both and are wondering)

Couple of comments...

Having a pile of scrap wood that close to your grinder seems a little dangerous to me. Even with your dust catcher, I'll wager some of the sparks occasionally get thrown over there. I'd keep the scrap wood well away from the grinder.

Also, it seems like you hava a lot of stuff plugged into a single power strip. I realize you probably never use them all at once, but it still looks dangerously like an overloaded circuit is possible.

Thanks for the advice. I'll certainly move the scrap, although it hasn't posed much of a problem so far, the catcher does a reasonable job. The power board usually has a clothes drier and light plugged into it, run a different times as you suggested, which has failed to flick the boards fuse, or the garages, although it is too long and poses some hazard in that sense.

Cheers,
Jed
