Here's my latest offering....Loveless style dropped hunter with a 3 3/4" blade of RWL-34, 8" overall. Carbon fibre handle (thanks Rick;)) with dark red fibre liners. The sheath is pre-dyed 9 oz leather as requested by the customer and along with the RWL-34 is a first for me.
I said once that I'd never use stainless as I like to do all the work my self. Well...in the words of Arnold Schwarznegger....I lied.;):D

Ha ha!!!!...yeah I know....I still can't quite believe it either.:eek:

I hit my head a couple of weeks back...maybe that's finally pushed my brain into the 20th century....next step, the 21st.;)

Very nice work!! Maybe some day I will get to try out so RWL-34 for myself. I've heard it's pretty hard to come by here in the states.
 
Hi Ian,

Although I won't comment on every knife you post, I make sure I stop in and ogle them for a while. You have one part quality handmade knife and two parts character affability. ;) I love your honesty and humorous intent.

My take: You will be shutting down custom orders soon. That's a good thing. Those who do and then simply offer what comes out of the workshop are in an enviable place.

I wish you well. :)

Thanks mate...one part quality handmade knife and two parts character affability...I like that, thank you very much.:cool:

As far as orders go, I feel like I'm in a very lucky place. As you know, my main love is making Loveless style knives. I can't remember off hand the last time I was asked for anything other than a Loveless style, or at least something very similar, so I consider myself honoured....making what I want and what other people want too!! :cool:

There is one change I'd like to make though....and that's to make another part of myself 'half decent photographer' rather than my usual 'Stevie Wonder on a rollercoaster with a Box Brownie' style.:rolleyes:;)

Still, it's always nice when people recieve their knife and say it looks better than in the pictures....every cloud has a silver lining I guess!:D

Sparrow75...thanks mate.;)

Cheers,

Ian
