Besides CPK knives, whaddaya like?

Great x-c skiing upstate as well. (And canoeing. Oh, and rock climbing in the Gunks.)

So few people seem to realize what a great place it is for enjoying the outdoors.

Since we've been discussing "chunky gals" quite a bit lately, here's about a quarter inch at the spine's worth of forged 52100 goodness by master smith Dan Farr. Mortised sheep horn handle is wonderfully warm and grippy.

Reminds me of my old Buckmaster (184?). Bought the OG release, before they made the versions with the stamped sides (blood groove? Lol).

Impressed all my buddies, until we realized the sawback design sucks. The wood saw on my little Swiss Army Knife easily outperformed that sawback.

On a sidenote, back when the hollow handled 'survival knives' were all the rage after 'First Blood' came out, a different buddy bought an Aitor Jungle King. Now THAT thing actually had a usable sawback (and a usable slingshot built into the sheath ).

Received this Busse FF9 last night and like it more than expected. Big bastid is surprisingly sharp as hell too

It’s a design by Brian Efros that is produced by Boker. It’s just D2 steel, but for less than $140 it’s pretty darn good.

I'd like to see it. I don't remember when he built mine, I believe it was the first in that pattern, but it's been more than 10 years and I'd have to search for a record of it. It was before he had his MS stamp.

Okay, the images are from October 2002...that's the best I can come up with at the moment. So 20 years ago. Time flies.

the one I had was probably built around the same time, pretty much identical pattern from what I remember. Also 52100. It was an awesome knife, glad I had it while I did

Alright, Lorien

You better not tell me you have the exact same knife from Rick Dunkerley, M.S.

(Forged 52100, Ironwood, Mokume)
