Another awesome looking knife.

Thanks mate 👍

very nice work (((-:

Thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback. Hey, mate, thanks I really do appreciate your comments. I am mostly self taught, and I enjoy trying to get better. I post my knives on a couple of forums as it has been a helpful way to find what people like or dislike in the different designs I have tried. I do take peoples feedback on board, and it is one of the things that has helped me improve over the years I have been doing it. I enjoy making them, but my main goal is to keep improving.

You know RT, Grunf is spot on, the closer I look the more attention to detail I see. The tapered tang you have mentioned but combined with the palm swell countoured into the handle I bet it's very comfortable to hold. The rivets in the handle look superb, the timber has come up a treat, the taper in the blade to the edge and point is first class. I'm really liking your knives and more and more appreciating the skill to produce. Great job.

Great work. So much effort and attention to detail.

Thanks mate 👍

Very nice.

Thanks Dave 👍

That's a ripper RT.

Thanks mate 👍

Another great looking knife mate. I like the blade shape and that handle looks good.

Thanks mate

Another fantastic specimen! Great work

This one is 3mm NitroV steel, with a full flat grind and a tapered tang. Handles are Spotted Gum, with red G10 liners, brass Loveless bolts & brass lanyard tube. The pattern of this knife draws very heavily from the Bark River Gunny Hunter. I had some Auctioneers Promise red oil and gun stock oil sitting here and have been thinking about trying it on a knife handle for a while. I had been a bit nervous about the red oil in particular as I didnt want it to dominate the colour of the handle timber by darkening it too much. I was initially a bit underwhelmed with the spotted gum after I hand sanded it, as it just looked like a very plain piece of light wood. I hit it with one coat of red oil and it was amazing how it brought the figure out in the wood. I stopped after a second coat of red oil, then gave it 14 coats of the gun stock oil and think it came up great.

I always take a map, compass and pen when I'm out. But a GPS is a level above so I always take one of them too. Always knowing where you are is handy

🤣 studying the map beforehand is the best preparation i find.

What's wrong with a map and compass linked to the Eyeball MK1. Sure I've been geographically embarrassed but not for long. Once was sitting on a log having a think and a good look around only 30 metres from Joefish and the truck. Grant.

Yeah, I get the advantage of it. But I don’t have one so it pisses me off

fair enough. some guys like them as they can see where each other are within about a 5km range. i think you have to talk or press the talk button every so often to keep updating your location? i can see why multiple hunters in an area might like them but i found them a bit of a distraction, plus when you get too far apart you lose contact anyway.

They talk to each other over UHF for the location tracking. So if you’re out on the same channel (but not on a Rhino) then you get a squalk tone every few mins. Pisses me off

Its the most obnoxious thing a hunter can have

I beleive its the Roger tone that people don't turn off. and Duncs thinks its a transmission tone that effects uhf users

what do you have against rhino's?

Howdy, from Newcastle. Started bowhunting but still don't know a lot. Looking forward to having fun and learning.
