Alan Davis Traditional Fixed Blade Knives

Thank you, Alan. My complements on your work.

Roland, I would have guessed they were "whomped". I didn't realize the saw blades were so thick. I don't imagine it was much fun falling trees with one.
 
My grandpa had a misery whip saw that my dad still has hanging in his garage. I'm going to have to take it down and really look at it the next time I am there.
 
Is "misery whip" a brand name or the term used for this type of large 2 man crosscut saw ?

You cant go wrong with an Alan Davis knife! I have 6 folders from him! 3 that I carry and 3 that are to nice to carry!! Since I had him fix me some the way I want them I have not carried anything else. Here is to Alan and his fine knives! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
He's a really nice guy and true craftsman. He just finished up a knife I designed and I'll post more when I get it in hand but for now a couple of pics he took: Mark's flipper 001.JPGMark's flipper 017.JPG

Man, I really can't wait for this! He did a super job and is the epitome of patience.

It is a nickname that the loggers of the mid to late 1800's gave the saws in which I first came across in a book written by logger of the time about his days in a logging camp stating basically after using one all day you would see why it was called a misery whip.

Work utility knife and customized case sodbuster jr :D working on getting a better picture
 
I believe that the sodbuster I traded him and he added the work to it. Looks sweet.

I got one of the misery whip knives in spalted maple last winter. It is a regular edc paired with a Vic Spirit multitool in a KSF Adirondack pocket sheath.
 
I absolutely love Alans knives! I think I own like 6 of them now! I ll add some pics tomorrow!
 
Your welcome. It might not be but I think it is. As for his work its just amazing. Hard on my wallet though. :foot: I've really been eyeing his folders with damascus blades. :D :D :D Someday my ship will come in.......and I'll probably be at the airport!

I think you have the wrong maker and the wrong forum.

This thread is about the knives of Alan DAVIS.

And this is the Traditional Forum.

Edited to add: But you are right about one thing. They ARE gorgeous.
