Boot Knives!

Thomas J Ekman · Jun 17, 2001

As one collection within my collection I collect boot knives.
I have (soon - in the mail) Kershaw Trooper, Kershaw Amphibian, Camillus CP75, Böker Applegate/Fairbairn boot knife.
As always, I intend to expand this collection.
Name any good quality boot knife you can think of or own!

I'm lousy at posting pics so I sent you pics of my favorite four..a DeLeon, a J.B.Story Damascus, an R.O.Easler and a Dozier Toothpick, I have a few more, but those are the ones I consider to be most special.

I have a Boot Knife coming from Bobby Branton. Although Bobby is know more for his throwing knives and now his new company the American Tomahawk Co. the first time I noticed his work was in Knives '99 page 63 his Model #2 boot knife.

Here's a link to his site, scroll down a bit and there's the knife only mine will have Stag of course.

I also have the Gerber Guardian Backup. Quite nice little knife.

I have a couple of the small sub 3 inch double edge boot knives made by kabar. It also has the cracked ice handles.

I don't know how old they are and how much they are worth.

Fallkniven has a new one out in VG-10 steel; all their blades are worth looking at, IMHO.

Let's not forget the classic AG Russel Sting!
I have the all steel (no handle slabs) version. I still don't know why they were discontinued...
Ebbtide out.

The Katz Avenger is my favorite production boot knife right now. Also, Linder has some interesting and well made short daggers that most certainly qualify as boot knives.

The Fällkniven Garm G1 Fighter is not really a boot knife, as it comes with a neck kydex sheath. I have this knife, and can strongly recommend it.

Ahh, you've touched on my passion -- boot knives and daggers. I currently have about 30 in my collection. They include (but aren't limited to) a Kershaw Trooper; Kabar boot knife (haven't figured out the model on that one yet -- all black, molded aluminum handle); SOG Desert Dagger, Pentagon and Mini-Pentagon; Gerber A-F Combat and Covert, Mark I and II, Guardian Back-up Boker A-F Boot Knife; Gil Hibben Double Shadow; Fairbairn-Sykes; Smith & Wesson Police and Military; Cold Steel Peacekeeper; Charlton damascus coffin-handle dagger; Ek Agent and many others. I picked up my first custom at the Badger Knife Show this spring -- it's a damascus boot knife with buffalo horn handle and damascus "skull crusher". Next on my acquisition list are the Fallkniven G1 Garm Fighter, Case V-42, Chris Reeves Kathathu and Imperial Tai-Pan.

Newt Livesay's WKC U.S. Marshal...

I've got one in 1095 steel, and I'm gonna bug him for one in D2 sometime...well-balanced, fast in the hand, sharp, nasty...a great hideout defensive/utility knife.

Get it w/an IWB sheath...

Take a gander at it at:

Enjoy!
