Hi all.

This is the prototype of the project native knife i did in colaboration with Stuart m. Details and more pictures can be found here (http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25130&highlight=project+native).

After much tooing and frowing the sheath has now been done.

Our very own SINGTEK did it as he wanted something to practice on... He said his leather work was no good.

As i said this is the prototype ( but watch this space;) ) and i would like to offer it up for sale.


Here is a picture of it in sheath

The amboina scales look beautiful :You_Rock_

I have a little burr amboina tucked away for a project - I think you've inspired me to get cracking.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Sad to say it but i need the money children.

Will gladly discuss installments for this knife. no interest naturally. i need rid of it so i can clear the space for some more i have almost ready.

price includes postage to the door.

It's a lovely knife Dave and I'd love to own it but if I bought one sharp I'd be sleeping under the stars on a permanent basis as Mrs. TMKTC would chuck me out the house. Seem some women don't understand that a guy can never have too many knives :( :banghead:

It'll be dark til around 0930 in the morning. So not much chance of this.

the knife will be sent to stuart for sharpening before being sent on the the buyer.

The pics are not the best but i guarentee the workmanship.....
