just lovely.

Thanks for the comments.

I should mention for the sake of clarity that I don't make those particular blades myself - just a wee bit of re-working as required. I get those blades from India and I do think that they're pretty good for the price.
However, beware that I've seen those same blades being advertised elsewhere as being made in Scotland !
I've also had blades made to my own drawings and specifications by Ardous Enterprises in Pakistan, these are more expensive but of higher quality.

Of course, I do make some of my own blades, usually from Swedish Damasteel, often of silver and sometimes titanium but I wouldn't put myself in the same category as bladesmiths like Howard Clark.

after visiting your site, your work is quite nice.
question: is the damascus blade with bottle opener available as a component? i didn't see it offered in the blade section of your site, but saw it in finished products.
again, lovely work.

I have always been curious as to how the blade is attached to the handle?
Cheers,

Bought the lovely damascus blade from a chap in Loch Ness ( www.rainnea.com ) and put the handle on today. Decided on a simple antler tip as this is a hunting blade.

IMHO, that is what a "blade" should be.
