Oh I'm sorry Samon! I saw Albion and thought New York State!
Albion is the oldest known name for the British isles!
I'll have to order one from Sweden instead.. luckily postage within the EU is only about 20% more than domestic.

How about that? I just learned something new. I have a lady friend from Britain. I will have to try that out on her to see if she knew that.

Cold Albion lays on his rock...
I think that's a fragment of Blake.

Looks brand new!Got this last week, looked for one for years.
An older Frosts Laminated Forest Hunter (called the Forest 345 these days)
6" Swedish Laminated Carbon blade 1/8" thick at the spine and had the factory edge when I got it. A couple of licks on a fine diamond stone and it's an absolute razor.
Here it is compared to a Mora 731 (carbon) which is another big ole razor.
It's a gem for sure.

how did you compress the handle?
So here are some "before" pictures:
And then the same knife after regrinding the blade, compressing, shortening slightly and then refinishing the handle:
I do not try to make a knife to look like new, I sort of try to remove minimum material for the maximum effect.

Got this Western BOULDER COLO L28 boot knife. It doesn't have a sheath but sure makes me want to learn to make one. I have had interests in leather working for years but never took any action. I won't have it much longer but still want to learn leather making.

Mamba, that is a lot of steel right there - nice! I found this circa early 1980's Buck 124 Frontiersman in a Pawn & Gun this past Tuesday evening - the landscaped border around the Home Depot store next to my hotel provided the red ground cover for my picture. OH
