A promise kept..(FINALLY)

#1 Post by kimall » Sat Apr 21, 2012 4:31 pm

There was an auction some months ago and to go with a bow big rod donated I said I would donate a knife to go with it.Well it is an embarssing state of affairs but I have only just now had time to get this done.I contacted Rodlong some time ago to say sorry and he said he was cool with it as he had other things on the go at the moment.Thanks foe your understanding mate I have just changed jobs and things have been real busy.Anyway it is done now and will go in the post this week.
Cheers KIM

I'd be willing to bet that's Hairy Oak..and I'm no gambler!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Thanks guys yes it is hairy oak to match the timber in the bow.It is hand forged from a piece of steel from an old saw mill blade and takes a very nice edge.I have not used this wood before as I have been a bit suss on it after a bit dried out in the shed and started to crack along the darker lines but this seems to be fine.I hope it serves well.
Cheers KIM

What a beauty Kim, I am looking forward to using it to process the first kill for the awesome LB Rod 55 longbow that it was built to match. Thank you.

BTW mate, thats a lowercase Q for "Queensland" at the end of my alias, I only have long bows :lol:

Cheers......... Rod
