    Have this lot ready go to off to new homes except for the cleaver that is mine

    On top by the cleaver is a pair of knives exclusive to and logo'd on the sheath for the African Hunting forum
    Under that is two sets of Hunter/butcher and boner knife sets and on the right is a pig sticker.

    The cleaver is an old monster that I have had for some years but never really used as it is cumbersome in both wieght and design with a distinctivly unusabe handle shape and size.
    Whe I cut it down I lost over a lb in weight and with the new handle length and shape it is now a usable tool that will get used



    I am pleased to have another rifle stock to do as well so that will be noted after I get a little steelwork done before I start the wood.

      I have just made a pattern for a piggyback sheath that will have the big game hunter in the main sheath with a field scalpel in the piggy back. It will have a set of chicago screws to fix a strap that will go through the belt loop of the field scalpel sheath and round the main sheath so that it can be taken off and used as a single sheath in its own right. I will get one put together together with the two knives next week to show here. This will be a first of this concept for me and I want to offer one that is not as bulky as some I have seen

        I still want to make a few tweaks but this is essentially what I will be doing. Cant see any way to make it any smaller and still have the detachable scalple sheath.

              I am getting some feedback that says detachable might not be the most wanted option so maybe a fixed single layer leather for the scalpel will make it more slim for those that may want one. A tandem option has been mentioned but it is the width on the belt that I think may be a detractor.

                Giday Garry,
                What are the dimensions of that "Big Game Hunter" you have there ?

                  Just home from a couple of days in the high country hunting so just saw this Mike.

                  It has a 4 1/2 in blade and just shy of 9 1/2 over all and is the same blade as the hunter butcher but with the birdshead handle instead of the flared butt.

                      A little more leatherwork this morning

                      To get them ready for these knives that just need thier final sharpening before shipping. I tried a couple of different backgrounds for the pics this time. All bades are either 1075 or 1084




                      A longer safari knife with brass and buff horn and the field scalpel in buff horn comb in a piggyback sheath














                      A safari knife with walnut and brass. The walnut was from the buyers rifle stock blank to be a companion piece for a new rifle.

                            Been a busy day in the shed getting the bevels ground in on these blades. Something a little different with the double edged dagger and the bowies. So there will be some hand sanding to get them ready for the heat treat.

                                I have been following this thread from the beginning. Have yet to se a price mentioned on any of your knives. I am aware of the old saying “if you have to ask you can’t afford it”. I think it would be helpful (to me) if you could give us an idea of what your creations cost.
                                Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.
