Niiiice!

Get him to put a (photographed) polished blank into the sheath and then re-photograph. As someone else said, it was probably there all along. Doh... Really should have read the whole thread!

Doesn't bother me.

I've managed to hold-off buying one, purely because my large handled Stanley does the job - 100 double blades, changed everytime I start a new project, seems plenty sharp right up to 5mm leather.

Good stuff.But i've never heard a Brit say that Or as you Yanks would say ... Have a nice day, y'all.

That looks a much more sensible method :D

Wow - This thread kinda makes me wish the UK had a branch of OTB! Great feedback to your customers

I used a 3/4" thick slab of marble and sat it on top of one of those lap trays (hard tray on top with a big bag of polystyrene beads underneath). It probably sounds like it shouldn't work, but it does. Also means I can sit sown with the tray on my lap if I feel laaaazy :D

Looks great - and it'll look even better in a few years, having naturally darkened.

I like it - appeals to my utilitarian, no fuss preference :D The handle colour works, too.

They banned kilts once upon a time...

I thought the UK was bad for always wanting to ban things...

Why are they doing that??

Not sure what marks you're looking at? Bottom left of the group of lettering and top right look pretty clearly to be plate marks to me.
