    Do you have a website or pictures of the various patterns?

    And how much would it set me back for a 4mm thick, full tang , scandi grind, stainless, hard enough to retain an edge but easy enough to sharpen.
    Something that will polish to a mirror ...

    Preferably with your brass and olive mix but actually not too fussed as you obviously have very good taste anyway.
    Birch, rosewood, anything as long as is wood...

    This will be my bushy of choice ...
    for battoning, skinning, shaving and odd bits of carving/whittling...

    Not sure I can afford it yet, but if you give me an idea, then I can start saving ...
    Cheers

Its becoming my go to blade profile and really usable as a GP knife. Brass hardware and oiled olivewood handle.



    Pics don't quite pick up the glow but it's really popped
    I thought I'd bump this again as it's beautiful.
    Can't let it just disappear behind lots of questions ...so, bump.
    The craftsmanship is amazing here , not just for the steel but on reading the wood and choosing the scales and the direction of the grain effect.

    Top notch
