Privateer Armoury Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) I finally got enough details worked out to begin offering some sailing knives for sale. I am still in the process of learning to use the paypal tools so there may still be some glitches and anomalies. Take a look and see what yo think, over the next several weeks I will be making more different types and styles of knives as well as adding other tools of the trade. S / V Grace Workshop Let me know what you think and any suggestions are more than welcome.
