Nicely done. Another use for a pallet too. What kind of a sheath will this knife get?

@spectralmunchkin Started work on a leather one, but Got side tracked...Don' Know. Kydex is hard to obtain in the UK.

@spectralmunchkin Thanks. Started work on a leather one and got side tracked...Don't know. Kydex is hard to obtain in the UK.

I have been all over the Internet searching for a "Bobkat" or "Big Mack" Knife to get a better perspective on the dimensions of the blade so that I could possibly do the same as you have here. I wanted to see a large picture of the knife you used as the template for your home made BOBKAT. To my dismay (only after reading all the video information sections), I now see that it is also your creation. Do you have better outline images of your blade?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.

@RonRay Thanks for the message. All knowledge gleaned from You Tube. Sorry mate no technical diagrams. All free hand.

Mick,

I have always wanted to make my own knife.I can see how a longer bladed knife would come in handy clearing nettles and undergrowth from a camping area in the woods.

You have some great vids.I am frankly impressed and will watch them over the coming days.

All the best

Sandy
