First for 2026.
This one is headed to Reefton.
Sits deep and snug in the sheath so it's not going anywhere.
Also contoured the handle a little and it's very comfortable.

I got given a couple of leather tooling punches so 🤔 why not.

The wood I believe is an Aussie hardwood from an old piece of power pole I was given. Quite a red wood when raw and darkened up with a couple of wipes of Linseed Oil.
Not a big knife, overall at approx 225mm, blade at a smudge under 95mm.

I've cut the front of the sheath down a little which exposes a bit more handle but overall it's a very nice snug fit.

It's been a wee bit quiet in the shed for a couple of weeks as Waina and I had a pressing engagement to meet a Brisbane resident who made a quick visit to NZ....meet Harrison Brooks, Great Grandson aged 6 months.
Not long before he can get into the shed and crank out a blade......🤔
