Here is a collection of my work from over the past few months
All Sheaths are hand made and hand stitched by myself. I make most of the handle blanks myself I certainly design fit and finish all of the knives.
All knife blades are 440c I purchase them from America as I have indicated in previous threads.
All of the knives are finished with several coats of Tru Oil gunstock oil.

Yes nuthin like stoppin(for good or bad reasons) the usual rat race and allowing ourselves to get creative.
Having a bit of fun with the two cow hides I skun and tanned. Kinda need to work with it a little differently but I'm learning. Ill take ma kit and finish a few items off whilst on the road. Found it most relaxing last xmas down by a river in the bush and lacing a bit of leather.
