Excellent job as usual. Love the long clip. It reminds me more of a Fighter than a Camp but its cool either way. Especially if you get in a fight at the camp.

It is the fine details in your knives that make them truly incredible. The longer I look at your knives the more little details I see. Fantastic.

Thanks for the kind words my friend! But please....do not hesitate to show any of your work. Everyone is at different places in life, and different experience/skill set levels. Everyone here is interested in making all of us better as a group.
I'm just a low-tech guy making stuff in his garage......when there isn't a good fly hatch on.

I must admit that I am so encouraged by the skills on here, in awe of it all.
I am 75 now and do not know the people I used to scrounge bits off, at one time mates would say "is this any good to you, can you use these", the point I am making is stuff is hard to come by, all sorts used to come out off the engineering/car factories in Coventry, you good virtually get anything, now I do not know anyone at working age so get nowt. lol lol lol/
Trying to buy a small quantity of brass for example is not easy but costs the earth.
Nuts and bots I have plenty of but you cannot scrounge them now
I worked in the aerospace industry for some time and you could get anything, the scrap tip was a gold mine without nicking it.
Trying to get a bit of brazing or welding done is almost impossible here.
I have some liquid metal weld stuff for my Bowie finger guard, hope it works
I will use Gorilla Glue as well, messy but I love its power of adhesion.
