Special offers on our Knife Collection. https://www.english-handmade-knives.co.uk/acatalog/Knives-for-hunting--bushcrafting--fishing--cooking-and-collecting-p1.html

All of OUR Tools are made from the very best Carbon, Damascus, Laminated, Semi Stainless or Stainless Steel. With handles or scales to compliment the style of the steel blank and hand sewn wet moulded sheaths that are purely to our patterns and designs. Costs range from £75-£800 for a complete item including sheath.

Our materials are sourced from sustainable areas of the world, such as the UK, America, Scandinavia, Africa and Australia. We use coloured Vulcanised Fibre, Acrylics, Brass, Nickel Silver, Moose, Woolly Mammoth, Reindeer Antler spacers and caps, with different types of bolsters that add extra style.

We have plenty of UK woods standing in planks as well as Micarta and Acrylics in sheet form, ready to be used, so handle sizes are not a problem.
Every tool and its components are gathered and matched at the time of making, together with an individually hand sewn and wet moulded vegetable tanned leather sheath. There will be some slight variation in the design and no two units will be quite the same.

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE
We are always coming up with new ideas and shapes using the very latest materials and techniques with over 140 tools in our collection.

Black Bog Oak Standard

TL-BBO BX-F

Black Bog Oak Standard TL-BBO BX-F

£15.00

Size 125mm x 40mm x 28mm.

Botanical name: Quercus robur

Origin: England

Dryness: Kiln dried
The picture shown is lighter than the stock. Inky black with a significantly higher density and hardness than ordinary oak, bog oak was created when prehistoric forests were submerged under water and silt in anaerobic conditions thousands of years ago. This stock has been carbon dated and is at least 3300 years old.

The black colour is a chemical reaction between the tannin in the oak and ferrous compounds in the water.

Bog oak is one of the most difficult woods to dry. A very large percentage of material is lost in the drying process and this largely explains the price.

NEW Spalted Beech Long Grain

FR-NSBLG BX-G

NEW Spalted Beech Long GrainFR-NSBLG BX-G

£7.00

Perfect for stabilisation

Spalted beech wood blocks are an excellent choice for knife making and small wood projects. Spalting is a natural process that occurs when fungi begin to break down the wood fibres, creating unique patterns and colours that are highly prized by woodworkers.

Beech wood is known for its durability, strength, and fine grain texture, making it an ideal material for a variety of woodworking applications. When spalted, the wood takes on a striking appearance, with black lines and streaks contrasting beautifully with the lighter wood tones.

Not only do spalted beech wood blocks offer exceptional aesthetic appeal, but they also provide excellent durability and stability after stabilisation compared to other spalted wood species. This makes them a practical and long-lasting choice for any woodworking project.

Overall, spalted beech wood blocks are an excellent choice for woodworkers looking for a beautiful and versatile material that will add a unique touch to their projects.
