Finally nearing completion is a sgian dubh made with the grips from the walnut of a pre WW2 Lee Enfield rifle butt and the blade from a WW1 sniper plate with a strip of the original weathered metal preserved down the edge 

Now if anybody has any views let me know. I am interested in materials and we have just finished a pocket knife with shards from a WW2 V1 rocket embedded in the handle. I have now bought part of a Meteor jet fighter the worlds first jet fighter powered by a Whittle jet engine I really do not think we can incorporate it into a knife but am open to suggestions. One possibility is a key ring and I have cut brass as a base on to which I would epoxy a piece of the Meteor with a rivet through the middle. If anybody has any ideas re a knife or techniques to turn it into a key ring just advise. Coming up is a range of cheese knives made with grips from Royal Navy teak kept for many years by the Navy as replacement decking for the Royal Yacht and a Oyster knife made with creel boards from the bottom of the North Sea which were used by one of the last creel fishing ports in Scotland.

That oyster knife sounds good to me, I will have to keep an eye out for it.
