NOTES

The Unground blade is almost the same as on the finished knives, but it does not have the blade bevel ground in.  It has the saw teeth on top of blade, cut-out in tang, and screw thread.  It was made from 440C stainless steel, hardened and tempered to 57-58 HRC.  It was obtained from the Wilkinson Sword factory, on closure.  You will want to have the blade ground to your own specifications.

The fixing of the fingerguard to the blade would need to be done by a competent person with access to the requisite equipments.  The process used by Wilkinson Sword was as follows:  The fingerguard and blade/tang were both drilled through twice.  The fingerguard was pinned to the tang with 2 x 23mm pins.  The surfaces of the fingerguard were welded over and ground, to conceal the heads of the pins.  The fingerguard was then polished and linished.  This may all be done by a competent metal engineer.

An alternative method was suggested to us by a former Wilkinson Sword staff member.  He suggested that the fingerguard could be glued to the blade/tang, using methacrylate adhesive.

In addition, one Buyer bought the knife components from us and used standard metal glue to fix the fingerguard to the tang.

However, we cannot recommend these latter 2 methods, as we have not tried them.

The Handle will come assembled with Locking Pommel Nut and Lanyard Rivet both fitted for you.  The Belt Hanger will come with Shock Cord fitted for right hand use.  If you want your Shock Cord fitted for left hand use, please let us know.
