    Default A few bits from Feather Forge

    Well I thought I'd show you a quick picture of some things I've made recently.

    I did a small batch of knife strikers and normal strikers.




    Pictured with a couple of knives I made a while back.

    I spose those knife/strikers hold a good edge due to the high carbon steel of the striker?

    Sure do mate. - I put a convex edge on them so they are very robust. Mike did a wee review of the first on I made:

    Cheers Richie, Yup they sure are up for sale/trade

    Taking pictures is not my strong point - took these by the window on a huge burl.

    All the best
