I bought this a year(ish) ago from TKMAXX. It was about £10, and a bit Mickey mouse, but a potential project.

It looks a we bit off the wall, so to speak, but very comfortable to hold, and easy to control the blade.

Now i just need to sharpen it :O

That's an amazing transformation. I think it looks fantastic!
Fish merchant? I thought you were jumping into the water and catching those fish with your teeth. Oh well, nice just the same :)
