RE: Knives - Northumbriman - 16 December 2012
I have made all my current knives myself. I have a bushcrafter, suvival knife and machette all made to my own design and to suit my own needs. I got into making them as I couldn't afford the crazy prices of the handmade high carbon steel knives out there. I will be making some more in the near future and would be happy to put up some pics and maybe sell some if anyone is interested.

I was given this knife by my father in law before he died, it was purchased in Spain, I have no idea of its name.
Its a heavy handled knife, made of black metal and brass, The blade is7 inches long x 1 1/2 inches at its widest
It is a leather scabbard, and the knife can be `locked` into the scabbard by nifty leatherwork, pulled tied
There are three engraved images, on the side you dont see a pic of an Indian shooting a bow at a Bison

The writing is hard to read, but the top bit I am fairly sure says `Store tree of the tribe`,... there is a coat of arms underneath that, but the printing cant be read

I cant get any pictures to compress to the rerquired format does anyone know how to do it please?

You need a third party utility to do it. That is the problem with modern digital cameras. Each pic is lots of Mbs.

Make yourself an account with photobucket,.. photos are sized correctly for you
RE: Knives - Northumbriman - 19 December 2012
Thanks will try that. In the meantime my avatar is a pic of the survival knife I made.

I have several knives for different things but my surprising find is a technisub Diablo scuba diving knife, came with a leg sheath, it has a nice large chromed end which is heavy and can be used as a hammer, I have put nails in with it several times, full tang obviously rust resistant, one side is serrated and does ok at sawing, plus its a lot cheaper than a specialist designed knife such as bear grylls knives, about half the price I think, worth a look
RE: Knives - Northumbriman - 22 August 2013
If there is something particular you want I make knives in an amateur way. I have a Facebook page with pictures of the knives I made so far. I can make pretty much anything from small bushcrafters to full on machette's.

I have quite a collection of knives.
The one I tend to use the most is a Mora Hunter.
Cheap as chips, but gets the job done.

i recently picked up a cheap little folding pruning knife
does the jobs i need it to and cost something like 3 or 4 quid from the local garden centre and actually feels quite comfortable in the hand
