This is one of the gentler jobs at Green Man Knives. Whether I’m making sheathes for my knives or possibles pouches, leatherwork, particularly stitching by hand, is mindful and therapeutic. I’m always amazed at how the time flys by.

Here are three knives recently finished and for sale on my website.
I call this knife design 'Warrener' as it was originally designed for small game preparation.
Because of its discreet size and convenient neck sheath carry it has gained a much wider appeal.
Check my website for more details.

The last bench in the new workshop built, well still needs draws and cupboards, but all machine tools in place.
Looking forward to getting some knives made for stock

The last workshop bench is started. So looking forward to not having to drag my tools out of boxes before I can use them

Moving a ¾ ton flypress to its final place at my workshop.
After last Autumn’s fun with my bandsaw I now have to be closely supervised at all times 😂

New Workshop News
I managed to put insulation into the workshop and leatherwork studio but my order book was shouting at me.
So I bought in tools and machinery to get these knives made. It was a decision filled with angst. Having built 5 workshops throughout my career I know that once you start working in your new workshop you’re unlikely to ever finish it.
But order now filled and work on the electrics and lining has begun. Huzzah
