Breeden Knives

BTD, I had Scibeer make mine from a red ALOX handled Farmer...my favorite ALOX color! Hard to lose that one in the grass and weeds! I second that motion for an American-made 12" orange-handled machete! "A long time ago in a galaxy far-far away", I carried "Corneta" machetes made in El Salvador, as well as 12" ones I modified from 18"...dare I utter the name!..Ontario machetes (hey, they were free!...issued to us!). They were handy-sized cutters! And VERY handy in the big jungle!

No doubt about it ontario has a great machete. All the recent events and the fact that you have to do so much work to get the blade ready is just crying out for another alternative to the american machete world.
 
Hi all Bigger knives are in the works and as for a machete I would like to do that
I have plans for some thing in the ball park for the jungle traveler.
Keep doing those rain dances LOL

See everyone just keep bugging and asking everyday and then he will make it. It worked for Texastonydobbs with RAT Cutlery now they are making orange handle knives. Try some of that voodoo magic over here tony.
 
Pathfinder will be posted for review next
Blade 5" 01 Steel
Handle 5"

BTD, I'm looking forward to your review. I'm seriously considering getting one of the Pathfinders from Bryan.

Hi Ron 53 I just made up a couple of knives in 1/8" steel One is
the Breeden Pathfinder the other is a Kelly knife I have been
making the B Ps in 3/16" steel But all I can say is UNLESS some-
wants one in 3/16" steel I will be making them in 1/8" steel and
Keeping them on hand and in stock I am flat out flabber gasted at
the way it preforms over the thicker steel It is now my new Every
Day Carry Knife I have been using it for everything that I
do from kitchen duties to making fuzz sticks and battoning
seasoned Mullbery, ( I had a 3/16 knife break battoning Mullberry)
Hedge apple and walnut. I have been cuting branches for shelter
poles and hot dog and marshmellow sticks. Spreading butter, cutting
french bread stuff like that. It also cost less to make one out of thinner
steel ( less grinding time which means less time making the knife:thumbup:)

We have had almost two weeks of rain a couple of days with little
to know rain so I have been a full time knife maker for a few days
and have got a few more knives made up I am getting faster at
making them up. :D

Here is a pic of the two knives in 1/8" steel the Breeden Pathfinder has
a 5" blade and the Kelly knife has a 4-and 3/4" blade I put orange G-10
handle that were 1/4 of an inch thick instead of 3/8th" thick scales
like I have been doing that makes making them up faster.

Here is a pic of the thicker knife that broke it is made of D-2 steel.

Take care all,

Bryan
 
I may just have to get one of those pathfinders! Good looking. Can't wait for the review!
 
Hi all I just finished up these two today . I the pic with
two knives the top is for my wifes ( i had to do it with orange
scales not the pink coral ones she wanted I broke one she was
not happy but she wanted her knife) and the bottom one is
a PSKK II with a bigger and more rounded handle than the one
Bear the dog got and showed. They both have 4"long, 3/32" thick
and 1" wide blades the handles are 4-1/8" long.

Bryan, I like that Pathfinder you just finished making! How much is that one? I head home in about 10 days. Once I'm there and settled in, I'll get with you about getting one like that from you.

Have you thought about making a Pathfinder with a 4" blade, Bryan? I apologize for "photoshopping" your pic of the Pathfinder, but I "modified" it to show what a 4" model would look like. I'd be very interested in a 4" version of the Pathfinder in 1/8" O-1! Here's the "modified pic:
