    That is a lot of knife for the money. So much time it takes for that file work. The first one I have seen where he continued the file work onto the spine of the blade. Awesome work. Beautiful knife Paddy.

    Quite the beautiful knife! You picked the perfect combination of a Lambsfoot blade handmade in Sheffield, England. That and a Barlow pattern would be 2 of the many hallmarks of Sheffield's long and important cutlery history. Thanks for sharing!

    Beautiful piece, Paddy, congrats! I checked the video of the maker you linked and it was great too see how these knives come together.

    Hi Paddy, Im the other jeff smith (UK). That is a fine knife!. About 10 years ago I bought a handmade Sheffield knife from A.Wright&Son (still going,worth a look). It was a high carbon sheeps-foot with stag. Blade took on a beautiful patina, in my pocket for 5 years and I lost it!. It was well worthy and on its way to being an heirloom piece. It still irks me that I lost It. But anyway Paddy good on ya for highlighting these great traditional Yorkshire craftsmen. I think this will be a great boost for these guys, a worldwide heads-up that you can buy and enjoy quality artisan/craftsman built knives in an F-ed up world that wants to label tools as "WEAPONS" atb Paddy, your doing good work. Im now gona buy that Olight for 38quid. Only 9hrs left.

      What's so cool is that he's using as basic a set of tools as possible, about the only thing modern is a motor driving the grinding belt. Worth every penny knowing the love that goes into them. True craftsmanship and honor to the art of knives.

    I’ve been watching Michael May for a while and it’s only that my wish list is a wee bit longer than my pockets are deep that has stopped me. The guy who sells me Taylor’s Eye Witness knives has been extolling his virtues for a while now. I’ll have one of his Barlows very soon, I hope. I was beginning to think I was alone in liking these knives so much.

I’m trying to collect a few Sodbusters at the moment which is drawing my attention, and I’m craving some GEC’s and more ADVs, oh and there are a few Taylor’s Eye Witness Blade’s with my name on.........

    Love that knife, it looks like a proper working knife but a work of art too.
    The blade is a bit too chunky to be a lambs foot, more a sheeps foot which just happens to be my favourite worker.
    I'm interested, I hope a lot of others are too, quality at that price deserves to be better known.

    Where's the love from those of us across the schock? Your knife maker/master took particular care to choose a piece of, I believe white oak to select a piece with the horizontal lines being referred to as "Flame", it is a coveted cut of wood prefered by furniture makers and solid body guitar makers, bottom line he put a lot of thought and effort that only a custom knife maker can, That's a crackin sweet knife Paddy and I hope this video bring some business his way.
