Good buy Robbi, Marks work is top drawer
OK, now you've sold me the blank, is that what I've got to live up to?
OK, already, I give up!
No contest, Mark, never be able to get anywhere near that sort of quality!

Cheers fella :)
Very pretty knife that Mark. Purely on a personal taste thing here, but I'm with Chiseller on the "not my bag" thing, no offense intended on your or Robbi. But it's still a superb piece of artwork as well as functional tool and the workmanship is faultless.
Juttle, no pressure mate, but I am REALLY looking forward to seeing what ou make out of your Hillbill blank.
Lovely looking knife you got the Robbi, I LOVE my Hillbill knife, was out with it yesteerday making feathersticks while pausing on the dogwalk. It's a joy to use a decent tool for what it was designed for - in the woods. Big congrats on it, both of you.

Cheers Aaron. :)
Not everything can be to everyones taste all of the time. :) This type of knife happened purely as a "lets see if i can do a bolster", but then it turned into " ill stick another on the end and see what it looks like". I fully expected to mess the first up as the handle is made of 13 seperate parts, but didnt. Made about 10 of em now. :)
Glad your happy with your knife too mate. :)

Happy is an understatement. Take it about 5 notches up the scale and you could be about right. :You_Rock_
