Blindhorse knives..

[mtnfolk mike]

i have had my eye on Blindehorse knives for quite sometime now.. they make some great looking knives, all meant to be used..

the folks over at BHK have a special each month,via their website.. most of them are knives that aren't in their lineup yet, like these 2, done in small runs or variations of existing models...
www.blindhorseknives.com

i was fortunate enough to score two BHK knives in the past month.. both are amazing quality and wicked sharp... they also came with some really nice sheaths.. i believe that Dan's wife makes all of the sheath's as well..

anyhow, on to some pics..

the first is the Nov. special a.k.a. "the long trail"..

i love the general size and design of this knife.. i generally tend to carry knives in this size range often... the spearpoint shape of this blade make it an excellent cutter...

specs.

- 1/8" thick O1.
- just shy of 7" with a cutting edge of 3".
- nice polished Green Canvas Micarta handle scales with two brass pins and thong tube.

i love the BHK logo.. i think it looks great on the blade...

here's an in hand shot, for the folks that need it.. i have Med. (hobbit) sized hands... the handle fits my hand comfortably and feels nice and solid with a full grip..

the factory sheath it came with is well made, but is just a little too deep for this one and luckily i had another made for it...

i bought this knife in the exchange, from a fellow forum member who also makes really nice custom concealex sheaths.. i had him make one up form me before he shipped it out.. i came out great..

i have had this one for a few weeks now and it has been seeing a lot of use... i took it out on a hike today and it helped make some lunch...

more to come..

now on to the Dec. special.. "the boat tail scandi"... (yes Mtnfolk has a scandi and has given in)

my oh my is this thing nice... this is my first scandi and i am really impressed with it... it is insanely sharp... i have only used it a few times around since i got it on Friday afternoon.. i am really looking forward to getting to use this one some more...
i was instantly attracted to the simple design of this blade.. it almost sort of like a tanto design, with the shape of the handle...

specs..

-1/8" thick 1095 carbon steel.
- edge is 3.25".
- handle length of 4.5"
- OAL of 7.75".

does this knife look sharp or what..

the BHK logo is a little bigger on this model.. it looks way cool..

the handle is nice and filling in the hand.. i like the little extra length...

a spine shot..

this one came with a very well made dangler style sheath.. it compliments the knife very well... i wet formed mine a little, to make the drawing of the knife a little easier...

cheers... Mike

That last one reminds me a lot of the cobbler blades that Ragner used to sell. Thanks for the review!

I really like that boat tail. At that price I just might have to give in and buy it!

Thanks Mike, you just made me buy another knife=P

 

[pitdog]

Wow they both look great, man I could really do with winning the lotto !!!!

Those both look awesome

Those are both great blades in sweet sizes. The Landi Hunter i just bought had the hollow grind done by Blind Horse. They did an amazing job.
Where are they out of?

Hot dog, that BHK Scandi is pretty! I'll have to give this some thought, after Christmas.

Mmm, haven't had that bagel in a while, tell the family I said hi!

Looks like BHK has gone a long way, I remember when it was just the tiger knapp. Both are looking good but I like the scandi. :thumbup:
