The wood is very hard. It's a day out for us going round architectural salvage yards in London. Mind you it makes for an interesting time carrying planks on the Underground during the rush hour. Many thanks. Malcolm

Malcolm,

That is an intensely beautiful oak!

The number of skilled knife makers in Sheffield is decreasing all the time. We have finished a Bowie with 15th century oak grips. Planks from an old Yorkshire farmhouse from around the time European explorers were discovering America.

The oak has a beautiful harmony of tones which make it difficult to photograph.

After a long battle we have managed to turn armoured plating from a shot down WW2 Spitfire into a product. It's oxidised, bent and pitted and whilst not a knife it's Sheffield made so you may like to have a look at this brutal keyring - quite unlike anything you may have seen before and not mass produced. I am interested in what might be said to be the creation of unusual objects. We only salvaged nineteen pieces from a metal so it's not a mass produced item.

I did not realise you were going to use them. Can you imagine shaving with a straight razor which has been stored unused for around the 1860's. 

Comment by John Bamford on December 12, 2016 at 15:46

I bought three of the razors that Malcolm Carpenter posted about back in August .

Just thought I should say on this group what wonderful things these are . They are not only beautiful to look at but give the best shave that you could imagine !

Thanks a lot Malcolm .
