[squazy84]

big pockets i guess.built for a friend who regularly opens d shackles in his line of duty



i work messy

 

[Screwdriver]

Nice. What's the blade material? Looks chunky.

 

[squazy84]

Carbon steel,grade o1,hardened and tempered,stainless bolsters and I believe the scales are maple,I could be wrong,I just treated it with Danish oil

 

[Parm]

That looks beautiful, top job !!!

 

[gordon stephenson]

[squazy84]

I was going to get it engraved hopefully

 

[magnet]

Outstanding , cheers for the pictures

 

[penfold]

Lovely workmanship but as a sailor I'd question the wisdom of having the shackle key in the blade; I'd end up slicing myself or whatever the shackle's fastened to every time I used it.

 

[TAITSIE]

I,m not a sailor but looking at the knife is the shackle key part of the blade exposed when its in the closed position ?

 

[rosinante]

When I was a seamen in the Royal Navy I used a marling spike for shackles, standard issue on a seaman's dirk,

[squazy84]

That's what the owner wanted,it's accessible in the closed position
