What a bargain!!!!! :You_Rock_
Hi Shinken - a few questions - what is the handle length and material? What is the weight and finally, what is written across the blade, I can't make it out :) Cheers!
The wood is She oak the length of the handle is 113mm and it has frosts laplander 90 made in sweden on it!
Will go weigh it

Thought you were going to have a go at makeing yourself mate! ;)
anyway, give me a shout mate - I may be able to help you out if you are feeling impatient! :lmao:
If you're up for making one like this, then the blade for that knife is a Lapplander 90 Hunting Knife which are available as blank blades (http://www.survivalschool.co.uk/acatalog/Knives_and_Saws.html) for you to handle.
I would recommend having a go yourselves if you have the confidence. Very satisfying using a knife you made yourself!

Are the blades carbon or stainless - why do you rate them? I am looking to make my own, but I think it will be a while before I can do this level of stuff.

So the sooner you get on and start, the better ;)
Go on, you might like it.

I have already started - I await a couple of little blades from BB and am putting in an order with G4GHB for some more. I spent two enthralling hours on the metal lathe today (GCSE kids in exams) making aluminium and brass bolsters from some scrap bar, making them the right size and drilling a hole through the centre.
I am off to a local little shoe repair place this w/e to get some leather for the handle and sheath, and I have an array of wood to stack handles. The rasp and files are ready, with emery and brasso - and a couple of sheets of wet and dry. I will post any (decent) results.
I am well and truly hooked - I thought I would never be that bad again after spoons.
Doesn't beat a full tang 01 blade from a master though - one day.

Shinken, I took your advice, I got the next length blade up though. And I've done a half tang. Thanks for the prompt.

Nice one Richeadon,
You realise that you're already over the lip of a long and slippery slope :cool:
You might think that a blade from a master bladesmith is the ultimate but you can have a huge amount of fun making your own blades, have you seen "greenpete's" website? That inspired me to have a go and I haven't looked back since.

Ash has made me a knife with this blade, but longer, the 115 blade. Im really liking it, its a good thickness and plenty of length for splitting wood, The normal frost blades can bend a stupid amount and just bounce back, these should be better id imagine.
