Hi, new member from the UK

Post by OldOak »

Hi, just a quick hello to everyone having just joined the forum.

I've been making knives for a few years now, under my Old Oak brand name. Up until this year they have been fixed blade and mostly larger hunting and bushcraft, outdoors type knives.

This year I've started making some slipjoint, UK legal carry knives and am enjoying the learning curve. It was like starting making all over again!

Anyway nice to be here and see you all around hopefully.
Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian, great to have you join us on AAPK. I too would like to see pictures of some of your fixed blades. And if you have any vintage Sheffield folding knives many of us here would love to see those as well.
