I actually had all the boys out today, and thought to take some pictures. These knives are readily available, and the makers are all nice people to deal with.

Group shot, left to right - BHK Bushcrafter, JK Anniversary Knife, JK Kephart, Landi MPX, and Breeden Pathfinder.



Bryan Breeden Pathfinder 5/32" O1, Orange G10 w/ white liners, OAL 11" spilt even between blade and handle. This is the only knife makers edge I've ever been scared to touch. This knife floats through wood. The handle is super comfortable, chunky, and great in variety of positions. This is my "one knife, survival tool" w/ Spec Ops sheath and some goodies in the front pouch. Bryan is super cool, and produced exactly what I was hoping for. Easily my best whittler and really, really love this knife.




Landi Multi Purpose Large 5/32" 1095, Green Micarta scales, Sharpshooter sheath, OAL 11", blade length 6" w/ nice comfortable handle. I love this knife, excellent slicer, whittles great. The makers mark was eaten away by the patina as you can see in the picture.




JK Kephart, 1/8" O1, Zebra wood & yellow liners, Sharpshooter sheath, OAL 8.5" spilt even between handle and blade. This knife is sssooo sexy, the pics due it no justice. I just love the rustic look of this lady.

#15 JK Anniversary Knife, 3/16" O1, tiger stripe Maple w/ red liners, OAL 9". I love this knife. The handle is so pretty, and despite the blades thickness, it really cuts great. This is my sexiest knife for sure, and a real brute to boot :D. John is a super cool guy to work with. Get one if you can.





#20 BHK Bushcrafter, 1/8" Saw Steel, gun stock tiger stripe Maple, OAL 8.5". This is my holy grail knife, the one that got my interested in handmade knives vs productions. A great whittler, and super bargain in the knife world w/ a pretty JRE dangler sheath. Get one if you can.




Landi Multi Purpose Small (MPS) 1/8" CM154, grey Micarta, OAL 7.5" w/ 3" blade. A new addition, and instant favorite. I can't even tell it's on my belt. I love the full size handle and smaller blade combo. I predict I'll going use this a lot. The handle shape is similar to my Multi Purpose Large, which is cool because their both comfortable, and offer no transition between switching use either way.

Very nice. Is it non-scandi collection on purpose or did it just work out that way?
 
Great looking knives! I like that BHK bushcraft too, would like to see a pic of it with the whole thing visible.

Bryan does definitely put some scary edges on knives. I have one that has a 10 inch 5/32 O-1 blade that I'm scared to let anyone around here handle. I held it over a bowl one night just dropping tomatoes on it watching the halves fall in the bowl not even slowing down and sliced clean :)
 
Fine selection your have there!

What's the sheath on Breenden's Pathfinder?
 
Josh, Glad to hear you like your pathfinder. I sure enjoyed making it up for ya.

Mistwalker, Interesting way to cut tomatos lol.
Thanks for the kind words you two.

Sorry didn't mean to misspell your name. Def. like my Pathfinder. And I agree, that is an interesting way for Mistwalker to test a blades sharpness.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I thought these all worthy field tools for discussion. And are easily attainable one way or another. Let me know if anyone has a question or wants certian picture, etc.

Also forgot to add John Landi is a great guy to deal with too.

Spec Op sheath company, and I believe it is the combat model, but not 100% sure. I like it a lot, makes me feel like an old western gunfighter, the way it rides so low on the hip. Very easy to draw a long knife, and it is a universal fit, so other knives could technicaly go in it.

I want to eventually add one really nice scandi to my tools. My favorite grind is full flat grind and/or a full convex w/ secondary bevel.
 
Thats some good looking knives you got there 'Ol Bud :thumbup:
I've got several of Bryans knives & I think they are a steal for what you get to what you pay for them ;) & I agree 100% with you on his edges ! Scary Sharp & tough as nails ! Bryan is a great guy to deal with. My favorite knife by Bryan is my PathFinder w/7"blade :eek: I would be very comfortable if this were the only knife I had in a survival situation :cool: Stomper (JKhandmadeknives) also makes some really Sweet knives :thumbup: I am currently packing his "LOBO" model, Built like a tank but looks like a beauty queen :p I also like your BHK bushcrafter :thumbup:
