The copy knife doesn't have quite the right lines. The handle curves in the same direction as the blade.Vothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715751005122434993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021786544583021130.post-90281593229824772042010-07-11T22:24:01.606-07:002010-07-11T22:24:01.606-07:00You obviously have not picked up the irony in what...You obviously have not picked up the irony in what I have written. Like the other people whose ideas you have taken to use at your advantage to make profit from our ideas, I am not happy about it, I only put in a different, more polite language, probably too polite, it seems.<br /><br />Never mind that's the end of the story as far as I am concerned.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844967794207697583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021786544583021130.post-82799875410605185082010-07-11T03:39:53.689-07:002010-07-11T03:39:53.689-07:00I don't mind at all.

It's not 100% identical but it is pretty similar and was used as the inspiration for it. I'm glad you don't seem upset I used it to base the knife on. We only made one and another similar one with a curved tip, off of an antler. I liked the basic/simple/rustic style of these - rather than the endless boring Woodlore clones. We sold them both to a guy in the USA who has them in his personal collection now. We might make one or two more one day? Who knows. Glad you aren't upset. Some people get cross with me for doing that kind of thing. It actually isn't my intention. We create our own ideas from scratch too! Thanks for reminding me about where I got the original. Our sheaths weren't as nice and unusual as yours though.<br /><br />Just for the record. My name is Tim, my Brother is Mark and my Son is James. There often seems to be some confusion about what my name is. We are just a small family business - that we run for fun more than any great profit. (I have a day job too!)<br /><br />TimTim Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596290043718164412noreply@blogger.com
