2024 Forum Knife Photo Thread

[Pàdruig]

I have to say this might become one of my favorite forum knives. It's big and solid, fits great in the hand, and is packed with all sorts of utility. I'm going to use the heck out of this one (after a proper flush and sharpening first).

Gentlemen, the shields are pinned on all the Case Bose annuals. And yes they are intentionally left proud so as to no disturb the bone and to pronounce the shield. This is customary for these knives and for custom makers alike.

Now if you want to richen that bone coloring up it's a quite simple process. Buy a small 4 oz jar of Fiebings Pro Dye leather dye. I recommend dark chocolate. With a small paintbrush apply the dye to the bone. I usually coat it a good 4 - 5 times and get a nice thick layer on there. Don't worry if you get it on any of the metal it wipes right off. Metal doesn't...

I coated mine twice, I have saddle tan and chocolate brown dye but there are lots of possibilities. I might do another coat but want to carry it for a while and see what it does as is. I’m happy with it and really like the knife.

That one really looks good, not too dark, just right. OH

The knife came Friday (yesterday) and I took obligatory pictures such as this



Then I oiled the knife and put every thing back as it came and have put it in a prescription pill bottle to live out it's life - errrrr most likely forever but then again, maybe not.

Nice thanks! I might even try it with my chestnut collab trapper! I like that a lot.
