That's a kit I have never seen before, perhaps cos I never looked for one before.
Holly is a great wood to turn and you have shown that in a nice presentation.

Hi Pete, the blade is on a double screw arrangement, so unscrews turns around and goes into the handle, and the bottom of the hilt becomes a thread cover for the exposed thread, I will take a piccie of the kit parts for you when I am next in the shed of you want.
