Custom knife on the block

I have lots of knives,some I inheirited,some I purchased for myself. I do love a good tool suited for whatever I'm working on whether it is knife, or a drill,or screwdriver,etc.

Aye, there's a perfect tool for every situation, as I keep telling Lady CH whenever she casts a jaundiced eye over my enormous collection...

Haven't figured out what situation William Tell's perfect for yet, though...

First aid practice maybe?

You left out his key function.

Ballast.

I had no idea Mr.Tell was that useful. Will wonders never cease?

He doesn't even know he's that useful

Now, now - for the defence, I would point out his excellent advice to The Spockmeister on another thread, re: families - showing his true nature ya see, not the online persona we have all come to know and love

Found some more ballast lads...:-D lol
I did have him as moral booster if you look closely

True and I will admit, this is the only reason the good wife has me on the boat!

Well I have finally caved and gone for ordering a custom made blade for myself. Lovely chunk of wood with a good sharp bit of metal stuck in the end. Happy days! Anyone of you chaps ever had yourselves a custom knife made or anything of the sort?

Aye, I did from Mark Hill on our sister site...the Bushcraft Forum.

His knives are fecking gorgeous with all shapes and sizes, with some really special wood handles, very well made and incredibly sharp. Given the sharpness of his knives, his leatherwork for his sheaths are very thick and durably safe.

I'll try and post up a pic of my knife from him.

Here you go CD ya wee shite.

Here we are lads

Looks like cheap plastic, made in China sorta thingy.

China made but the reviews are really good! Ordered it last night just for a mucking around knife and my other knife is more crap than I thought

I do like that knife o' yours, Spockers - she's a real beauty!

Aye it is a bonnie blade

Nice knives guys. I admit to wanting a custom myself, so many nice one's out there. If I could afford it I would grab up this one for a good all around.

Admittedly I do like blades a little larger than the standard 4" bushcraft models...
