A Day of First and New Traditionals

Brett, that Hess tiburon is awesome! Not only have I always wanted a knife with that wood but I love the blade shape! Beautiful knives all around sir👍🏻👍🏻
 
You're back with a bang Brett! :) Great selection of knives, beautifully photographed, your enthusiasm and excitement are contagious my friend :thumbup:

Hess Knife Works makes incredible knives at awesome prices. The Tiburon is such a great size and style of knife.
You may have already known this, but GEC makes the blades for Hess. It's their standard 1095 ground and heat treated at GEC then sent to Hess for assembly and finishing. This was really cool to me because I could get a handmade knife with a steel/heat treat that I am very familiar with.
Great pictures and knives!

The blades for Hess Knives are made by Great Eastern Cutlery. Heat Treat is done by Peters Heat Treat, Meadville PA. GEC doesn't do heat treat.

Great choice! :thumbup:

...I have never been handed down a knife before. So, when my wife’s mom handed me the Frost Cutlery Mason Commemorative Trapper and the Schrade Uncle Henry 897, I didn’t even care what brand they were, or what condition they were in, they were used and carried by a good man in my life. These two were my wife’s grandfather’s knives, and while he had a couple others that went to my brother in law, I am honored to have them.
...
Thanks for letting me share and dropping in.

Congrats on a bunch of wonderful acquisitions, Brett!! :thumbup::thumbup:
I will NOT (ever, seriously, non-negotiable) expand my interest to fixed blade knives, but I do so enjoy seeing the photos of others', including yours, Brett.
I totally agree with what you said in the bold-face sentence above. :cool::cool:
Is one of these new knives destined to cut an umbilical cord soon? :eek::D:D

Thank you for the compliments.
:eek: :D I asked my wife if I could take one of the Hess knives, just kidding of course. She said absolutely not! Then gave me a sermon on something about infections and germs...:D I couldn't hear her from laughing inside.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

You're a braver man than I've ever been, Brett, to even bring that up with your wife! :D:D

Great looking knives Brett!! The fixed blades look like they'll be great users!!
 
GT - I have a odd sense of humor. Plus my wife is extremly gullible and it is to much fun :D

Trand - thank you sir. I plan to use them, display them, and hand them over to my duaghters future husbands one day with a sermon attached. :D
 
Brett, you are my hero for just bringing up the notion of using a traditional knife to cut the cord. Congrats on the wonderful addition to your family! Great knife additions you have too.

Thank you sir. :D

I could be wrong but am pretty certain my brother in law received permission from his doc to do so. They had been, and still are close. Doc gave him a traditional folder a year before, I cant remember the knife, but I think they worked it out. That was 11 years ago and they still talk daily even being 8 hrs apart.
