terryh Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Gents, As this is all dragging on a bit and even the reloading & DIY is drying up - anyone ever bought a knife kit or discreet components and made a knife up? Any recommendations/links as to what and/or what to avoid in a 1st build? Thinking along the lines a small full tang e.g. neck, EDC, hunting design.

Bushdog Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 +1 on the Enzo blanks. I made one up from their basic camp knife, which is also an excellent stalking knife. Its D2 steel and is very sharp and keeps its edge well. Rides in a nice leather sheath I also knocked up myself. Don't cut your fingers Terry!

srvet Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I did an Enzo trapper in D2. Great knife for stalking but a bit short in the blade for bleeding Reds. https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/threads/had-a-bash-at-making-a-knife.115159/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Colin, Obtained all the parts from these folks: https://www.english-handmade-knives.co.uk/acatalog/Knife_Making_Supplies.html Very helpful, prompt delivery etc. Yes, the scales came out OK, took a bit of shaping, they start off like this, was actually a bit worried when the parts were laid out - sort of a ‘WTF’ moment 😯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Srvet, They are rose wood scales, not too expensive i.e. if i cocked up i'd not cry too much 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
