I've made a couple of knives before, and I've just bought a lauri 125mm, 01grade blade to make a new one. I've got a lump of spalted beech at the boatyard, so I'll use a bit of that for the handle, probably layered up with walnut or a bit of lignum vitae. I'll put some photos up of it being made when the blade turns up.
Bump for anyone who enjoys sharp things.
