This is true lol have the full set, when I have a bit more there are 2-3 other different sets in 25mm that I will be getting including the old english script like my makers mark has.
So far the knife hasn't fallen out of the sheath when turn it upside down, touchwood I will be able to get away with having to put a keeper on it.
I also have some templates for quivers and a bow case, they take quite a bit of leather to make though

@ OD moulded the other sheath to suit the Schrade 5" folder
can now hold both upside down and Knife stays put, again thanks
I think shaping them helps, plus looks better too
Thanks guys for the replies!
I was only looking at the fact you can score some half decent knifes for real cheap, like this one i scored last night for $7 lol

But wanted to cut it down to a boning knife shape then re temper the cutting edge, all i need is quenching oil. But then i came across this
Attachment 44841
Which should do what i need, just need to see how it is when i get it.
Gecko that knife is a skinner yeah?? On the weekend we only used the boning knifes for everything and from what i'm told in the old days they did the same. I'm hoping that sticker will be able to cut the throats and sever the spinal cord and not damage the tip because its a touch wider than a boning knife.
I also scored this for $10
Attachment 44845
Dunno what i'll use it for, but for $10 i'm not complaining lol. Maybe do some fruit ninja or something hahahaaa. Gotta love impulse buys :D

@ Od you can see how they say that but to me no big deal,
I just want to try them out up the Murray to blood them so to speak,lol
Must get onto that fixed Buck 110 I have ready to go
@ George I have three different style of boner knives, First is a 150mm thin boner very sturdy blade
second is again a 150mm boner but this time thicker and will not bend. Last is basically a very firm fillet knife
you can see diff in pictures Your Russells should sell different style boners. And yes I have used my boning knife for everything from goats to cows up north always took my knifes.
either quartering or overlandering them
That first and forth one I've had since 1982 yes very sharp
@ GKo with your Kukri do you have the two small knives and the sheath.
Yup I see what you mean, if other's are that picky they can make it themselves lolololololQuote:

Very nice make a nice display piece indeed.
SanJia is Columbia river, that $400 raidops knife is made in Korea
Picked up this early Companion stove from a mates fathers estate, knowing I would look after it.
Have no reason to think it wouldn't work still holds pressure. I love this stuff.
You should come out the back next time in manland
I've heaps of stuff got a lot of those brass Primus burners. plenty of brass
I even have a copper and brass water tank off a steam train that Ill get polished then powder coated clear
Love that shape Alitis, do you have a link for it at all?
Looks like a rebrand same as what the Survivor series does with their Colombia copies.
Top job on the torch

With just a polish the brass will stay shiny, if it dulls off you can touch it up with cotton wadding polish like Never dull or a quality billet metal polish like Peel or even Deep purple. All those products would have taken the thick patina off the torch like the little bit where the brand name was but i used the josco cut and polishing wheels on a bench grinder. I've got tons of other metal polishes that i've used to maintain the polished ally on the dish on the rims on my mazda lol so i can tell you whats good and whats not :) so i rekon with a bit of time and elbow grease that stove would come up a treat as well. What type of metal is it mate from ?? I've also got an old shoe iron that i got from my grandfather that i want to polish but don't know weather to leave it buffed with the cast pit marks in it or smoothen it out and give it a mirror finish lolQuote:

Thanks mate, most things that were made in the old days was meant to last so a bit of elbow grease and tlc brings them up to their former glory.Quote:

That looks nice but too me it looks like it its missing something, i cant put my finger on it but i keep looking at the handle for some reason..... Dunno whats missing... Still looks good tho!!Quote:

I have 6 fire nozzles up to 450,, tall when polished I'll clear powder coat them.
All my brass mortar and pestle I leave as they are antique and require patina.
I grab a pic of the steam engine header tank from 1850, that will look awesome finished
About 800 tall by 450 round, here it is I love this thing, rivets and lead joints
Split PVC around the base of the clothes lines is to stop the

@ GKO bit too high for me ,you can get proper 22" jobs from the states for less
It appears almost identical to my Tactical branded knife without the crappy teeth they put in. If it is as good as the other then I will be happyQuote:

does some leather form better than others ??
Heres an idea for carrying a spare battery
Yep there are differences in leather depending on thickness and tanning process will depend on how it finishes at the end.
4-6 Oz soft leather will form better than a similar leather tanned longer to make it stiffer, think saddle leather being very hard wearing. Am learning the water hardening process at the moment which changes leather dramatically depending on temp of water and how long you soak it

will need a new leather belt shortly, I have some belt buckles that don't require stitching so I take they are easier to make
sort of Cowboy style, I have a R.M.Williams one. years and years ago we made them
out of Triumph motor bike tank badges but no idea now how to do it
I'll put a pic of the buckle up later'
I am trying to find somewhere that sells the blank belt lengths cheaply, most places I have access to are around $45 a pop and that is without buckle, length holes or finishing
If I can find decent sheets of leather cheap enough, it will make it cheaper cutting them all from a sheet, pain the ar$e but cheaper
Maybe thats why i'm thinking its missing something, the makeshift saw blades on the top of the knife. Like i said still looks nice tho!!Quote:

What are you going to turn the tank into ??? I got give a block from a 350 chev with a bent rod and a hole in the side of it the size of a grape fruit i want to clean up and turn into a coffee table. You call you back yard man land lol my workshop is man land haha theres a few v8 laying about, a few unfinished resto's plus i have a half restored 1969 Mc Culloch super 10 10 chainsaw. I was given to me with a stuffed coil so i repaired it but the carby is stuffed so to make it run i need to adjust the mixtures while i start it the make it either run flat out idle lol
Have a look at a multi use knife on fleabay called the "fox trakker" -(not the Israli version) - I want me 1 if them, friggen awesome for everything in 1 knife downside is cost but it would last my lifetime and then some.
Top reviews on it from US military as well

@ Alitis not sure on the tank but polished up it would look great on a rod. Not the wax in the face but the little bits of cotton on you eye lashes that shites me. The yellow it only Galmet spray can,
@ OD what about sourcing leather for either India or Pakistan, seems to me to price might be right
@ GKO i'll try and find a link to your FOX-Trakker, far out they are a pricey knife indeed can only find tactical
