Not on here much these days so I thought I'd return with pics.

I finished this last night.

Full flat with beefy convex finish blade from FGYT in 01 - stunning work as ever. I designed this as a bit of a Master Hunter / F1 homage and I REALLY am pleased with it.

I have put on my favourite wood for now, it is stabilised and from Pikebite so we know it's good.

Stainless fittings and black liners go to finish this with as ergonomic a grip as I think I have ever done.

Anyway - picks to tell the tale:

With an F1 blank for scale

Your absence had been noted. However, returning with a sharps thread is sure to gain forgiveness.

I can't think what I've been doing with my time, what with teaching, my two kids and a young setter - with another pup...:rolleyes:

Getting back into all this and just spent another ton of money at Le Prevo. There are a few more blanks about the house now too.

Thanks all.

It is a bruiser and will chop and split well. It's almost 1mm thick just above the edge convex.

I'd better do a sheath before I sell it.
