I cut the plunge lines first. On the jig with a round file mounted on the bar and a home-made plate clamp. Does a decent job of it.

It would be nice to be able to flip the knife and file the other side whilst still clamped. I like a round plunge so I I file that first with a round file attached to a bar on the jig then line up the flat file with the centre of the filed channel. It lines up well so flipping the blade on the...

Thanks for the comments guys! I need to find the time to finish it. I should be making knives but I seem to spend most of my time making jigs and templates. Not that I mind as there is a pleasure to be had from it.

Decided to upgrade my filing jig. Must've made about thirty knives on the old MDF one. I like the simplicity and flexibility of this method so have put the old girl out to pasture and knocked up a new improved version. Well, it will be when I finish it. Anyway, filed the first two blanks on it...

Thanks guys! It just came out of my mind. Didn't even make a single drawing. I probably went a bit over the top with it but I enjoyed every minute of making it. I'll make a little video of it in action when I finish tidying it up.

Glued and peened. First attempt but I'm happy with the results. Still need to tidy it up a bit.

Great looking knife.

First up I'd like to say a MASSIVE thankyou to Toni at Eastvillage Knives for granting me permission to make myself a Bullshark knife. An absolute gentleman and excellent craftsman!! Still a little shaping and polishing to go. Feels excellent in the hand.Balances up nice too. 5mm 01 blade and...

Thanks guys! This is the second time I have done this pattern filework. The first was better. I drilled 15 evenly spaced holes then filed the angled slots. It's a bit of a risk. Plenty of potential to mess it up. Filled with black epoxy.

Far from finished but all the parts are there. I need to strip it back down and tidy it all up then re-assemble but I'm too busy using it just now and it works great. All metal construction. The main body and legs are 14mm solid square bars,the rest is steel and brass. Cam locking sliding jaw...

Thank you! I did make the bead. Its just a piece of leftover micarta and a bit of the pin material. I think it makes a nice finishing touch.

I've not been on here for a while. Still having a dabble at making knives in my little shed though. This is my latest. 5mm 01 steel,OAL 225mm,blade 112mm and 29mm wide . Handle is green canvas micarta with red liners. Pins are 5mm stainless in a 6mm brass tube. Lanyard is 6mm brass tube.Sheath...

Superb looking knife and the quality is fantastic! I think that's the crispest looking fit around the bolster i've ever seen! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by trailing point though? Knife terminology isn't my strong point i guess.

Is it a patina all over the blade that you seek or an etch like a makers mark? I use 01 and have had some success with simple methods. The smokey stripes on this one was done with salad cream. The makers mark on this one was nail-varnish,salt-water and a 9v battery.

My first drop point hunter type knife. 01 steel,phenolic resin scales,stainless and brass pins with rubber liners. Hand rubbed finish and a little filework to upper spine. Thanks for looking. Darren.

Thanks for the kind comments. Finally finished. Forced patina as requested.

None of my pics are coming up either.

Just another run-of-the mill small bushy I'm afraid, it was requested by a friend. Hand filed bevels. Phenolic resin scales. 4mm 01 blade. OAL 225mm. Sharp 105mm. Mosaic pin and sheath also made by myself. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking! Darren

They're looking good. Nice profiles and i like the filework.

Great looking knife! The quality of the craftsmanship is superb. The doveitailed bolsters look great alongside the black liners,especially when viewed against the tapered tang and the profile is very nice. Just my kind of knife!! Darren.
