Blimey, first time I’ve been here in ages and I find that an old thread of mine had just been bumped. I still haven’t attempted a frame lock....

That was exactly my point in the first post - look at the links I posted there.

I'm finding postimage quite good Ed. You're right - it is extortion and I'm amazed they are trying it. Their business is about to go down the can whereas if they had put a small charge on they may have got away with it.

So photobucket has taken the decision to change their business model so that there is no free hosting of pictures on to forums and other 3rd party sites. It's odd because some folk don't seem affected where as others are. The charge is $400 per year which is criminal and akin to a ransom note...

Thanks to Mesquite over on BCUK posting a heads up to this article: http://www.thetruthaboutknives.com/2017/06/the-original-kephart-knife-examined/ Quite interesting - an original 'kephart' model seen at blade. The blade being thickest in hte centre of the blade...

That looks a fine job!

That is one special piece!

With such a distinctive surname, it seems to make sense to me to use it. Use a wolf / paw print if you want but don't do something vague with the name as to just name it after an animal.

So, corby bolts. When countersinking them, I generally leave a bit of the post sticking out the far side of the tang like this: so it sits in both scales. However, do you think not having it going through to the opposite scale is acceptable for strength? I know it's not a lot different...

Interesting idea. I wonder if perhaps you need to up the amount of metal in there to make it more interesting.

Time well spent. :)

Oh my! That's just amazing!

This was a long time in the making, with three more to come (one day!) http://stewartjlight-knives.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/homage-to-hoodlum-hellhound.html I think it's a good thing when you are sending knives out but wish you could keep them for yourself. :D

Wasn't those the pattern that had a third spey blade or was that another variant? I like the elegance of the three blade I used to have and it's one I regret selling in some ways, though three blades on one was a but OTT for me. A clip and a sheepsfoot does sound nice.
