Love this knife check out the quality of his pics. Bark from a birch tree handle.

Looks very sharp Peter, and nice of course ..

Love the blade Peter but the handle is too chunky for my taste.

He Charles makes these for his personal use I really love the last one of his knives from Redwood Burl. This one was a marathon over 50 pieces. He has enormous talent Bob note the casual hand held object in one hand camera in the other.

Peter.

Very interesting handle almost looks like string.

I think someones gone looneytunes.
A couple of bits of ply stuck together for a handle looks just the same.
Why do I wanna take notice of whether he has cleaned his nails or not, it's a shit picture, after all the nagging about plain backgrounds we gotta look at the pebbledash on some Yanks wall.
Who crap is Charles H?? If he wants to show us a pic of his mitt and his shop bought blade then let him join and introduce himself properly.
Gets more like the IAP here everyday, If I wanna see what they have I will at what they have but stop posting this crap on 8 different forums.

OK Jim I have finished ranting. You can delete now.

Very nice Peter, I can imagine it was a nightmare to hold together

Well Brian here was me thinking you had an open mind and liked knives as a member of this forum I contacted Charles personally since I love his quality work in an attempt to share guess what I am not a pom either. Every day people share U tube bits, jokes and information. Because this forum is open and welcoming and I know so many members of the IAP and U Beaut site and so many members of this forum also share memberships. I welcome sharing, workmanship wherever I see and enjoy it.

Peter.

I just like to stir a bit of reaction when things go quiet, it helps to keep the forum active, or maybe I am simply an opinionated ol git who thinks he knows everything?
I do like knifes and appreciate the skills that go into creating them, what I don't enjoy is seeing the same stuff posted on many different forums that I may visit.
If it's worth a mention by all means mention it with a link to the original post.
I too am member of other forums and barred from commenting on some, their loss in my opinion.

I have enjoyed watching this board grow to international membership and relish the new members with their expertise, advise and questions.
I don't see the need to keep posting the same stuff in many different places, I am not the only who feels this way but I am the only one daft enuf to say it.

Ignore my rantings, I had the worst day ever yesterday and it's still affecting me, I'll keep my big fat gob shut and opinions to myself for the remainder of the day init?

Nice looking blade. I appreciated the amount of work that has gone into the handle, but sorry, I don't like it, too big for the blade.
