Hi Stu, welcome to British Blades.

Show us some knives please!

Roger

[Stuart Ackerman]

Will do, Roger.
I have just got to sit done and find some to photograph. Maybe some of my test knives? They would be a bit used and scuffed up, but you will get the idea.
I have a couple of prototypes lying around in my workshop, I 'll find those as well.

I've seen a few Snody designs that use a chisel grind.
What are they like to 'use'?

Some nice knives there! And of course welcome!
