Hello again Gentlemen 
I have been around here for a long time, but not very active. I recently decided to "take the plunge" and become a paid up member - and I guess this is as good a place to say "Hello again!" as any, although I will probably say hello on one or two other forums or postings too.
Much in life tends to move in circles - and I find myself leaning more and more back towards proper knife forums rather than social media platforms. Not that the knife groups on places like Facebook are not great - many of them are. The problem is that everyone, including "non-knife" people and the algorithms also see your postings and some of them are very touchy on the subject of knives And I believe that the forums may well be making a come back......I sincerely hope so!
Anyway, we are still alive and kicking, and looking at some new projects. For one thing, I have started making more multiblade knives and for another, I am planning something special around the Chunky Frank - it dawned on me a week or so ago that The Frank is in its tenth year, and we need to do some sort of celebration
In the meantime, this is the one I carry at the moment. It is a tribute to the Diamond Edge Keen Kutter from many, many moons ago, and I think in a slightly different configuration - they normally had an awl instead of the Wharncliffe blade if I am correct. This was a "proof of concept" build that taught me a lot, but did not quite make the grade to be sold....RWL34 blades and springs, 304 stainless trim, Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber scales
