View Full Version : 2 knives for sale
I would like to sell these two knives I made:
This one is 210mm long, the blade is 100mm long, 30mm wide in 3 mm 01 tool steel. the handle is reclaimed mahogany with a lovely ripple effect, the photos don't really do it justice. The sheath is made of 3mm veg tan leather from Le Prevo. SOLD
I am asking £65 for each knife including special delivery(next day, uk only) and paypal fee! Anywhere else, at cost.

What is that beast called?
That's an Axminster AS408 belt & disc sander :D
Very nice work mate but your prices are too low ;) .
thanks snufkin.. Yes they are a bit low, aren't they.. I suppose I had not made them specifically to be sold, and they helped me to relearn skills long forgotten, I trained as a tool maker over 35 years ago. So when I get my sticky fingers on that belt grinder, I'l start to build my knife making empire ;) , i'll put the prices up...They'll be collectors items then!!! Better buy now while inexpensive....... :rolleyes:

35 years ago? Doesn't look like you've forgotten very much :) .
It's a nice looking sander. I did use a handheld one bolted to my workmate upside down but it made too much noise. Now I hog off some of the metal with an angle grinder and then just file it.
Sorry to hijack the thread but I checked out that sander and also like the look of the cheaper one (£60) on the Axminster website:

Theres even a version with a narrow belt sander for £40!

I have had a Perform bandsaw for 3 or 4 years now and I have been quite happy with it. The motors are less powerful but perfectly adequate for most hobby use. I am just after something a bit more solid!
One knife is still up for sale. The one with the Rosewood handle. £65.00 inc special delivery. See the photos below. Thanks :)
jojo,
Knife came today and it looks and feels fantastic :You_Rock_
I know it sounds very corny but the pics just don't do it justice. The handle seems to sparkle as if it's flecked with gold :eek:
Can't wait to start playing with it at the weekend.
I showed it to my sidekick in the office and it blew him away! He said "if felt like a knife should" :p
Thanks
Andy
I am pleased you like it Andy. I rescued that particular piece of mahogany from a bonfire pile some while ago when I worked in a boatyard! Pity, it's all gone now :( I also found a piece of rippled Oak recently, that will end up as knife handle material as well!

The Rosewood knife is still for sale :D
Ok, I give up! I'll try my luck on Evil Bay :D
Jojo,
I'm surprised there have been no takers for the second knife :confused:
Mine is great. Used it a little past couple of weekends and it has felt as good in use as it looks.
Thanks and good luck with evil bay!
HI Jojo,
Is the rosewood knife still available?
Cheers
Well, yes it is Boxy! I was about to put it on E'vil Bay but if you want it, its your, mate. Just PM me :You_Rock_
I am glad you're happy with yours AndyW :)
Both knives are now sold. Thanks for looking. :You_Rock_
Received the knife yesterday, it is a really nice piece of work, I feel my search for my perfect bushcraft knife is over!
Many thanks JoJo. :You_Rock_
However...........I have to agree with Snufkin, your prices are too low!
Or certain other makers that shall remain unnamed are overcharging for what is by comparison sub standard work...... :rolleyes:
Thanks boxy, glad you like it.. I'll soon be rectifying that small problem with the prices...... :D That's easy to do!
As to other makers, I don't know. It's quite a lot of work making a knife and if you're trying to make a living at it, there are increased expenses such as paying tax, NI, etc. If you start doing things like filework or fancy leather work or even just good quality work, it can take quite a bit of extra time.
