Hello fellow forumites,

Following on from my thread in the market place I have made a new thread to take further order and inquiries about the froes my friend Chris makes. The initial 5 have been...

Will do John.

Slicks will be 2" wide and about 6" not including the tang. Prototype is about a month away. Trying to work out handles and pricing. Fair bit more work than the froes.

Slicks are on the way! We will get a few prototypes made and I’ll make a separate post for them. Same for hinge jigs.

Re: froes... Please post your order here with blade (cutting edge part only)...
