Blade work from the past year

[Terry Q]

Your work is excellent. I can see why they sell quickly. Where do you get the bottle opener blank?

Lovely knives!

Sorry, the inner geek in me needs to know. Is the book something from the Eragorn series? Just curious!

It is,but I'm not sure which book,I got the first one on the shelf

It is one of these but from China and much cheaper:

BLANK UNIVERSAL BARTENDER SPEED BOTTLE OPENER #000 | eBay

I cut it in half with a hacksaw,used the top bit to draw an arch and then shaped it

Thanks Matt that opener is no toy essential stuff in many locations around the house and in the pocket twenty times more useful as an addition than a seldom used pencil kit.

Matt an appeal mate your pics are out of the box outstanding hints please they seem so real and natural done with ease.

Thanks Peter.

Thanks Peter,I can't take credit for the pictures of the desert ironwood knife as that was done after the customer received it with a fancy DSLR camera

The other pictures are either taken in the garden on a nice sunny day or in my conservatory with as much natural light as possible, with a regular point and shoot camera,just spent a few times making sure it's focused on the right part.
