Hey folks. i havent posted much on this forumn but visit it everyday sacreligiosly. i think im addicted. Absolotuley love the topic and the way Moderator is working this page. Awsome dude.
Well Just this weekend past i visited a gun show which ive been doing everytime it comes to town a few months a yr.
Lots to see there folks trust me. you wont miss out. Ide rather be there than sitting in a theatre watching special effects that wont do me any good.
Well my favorite stop is Marion a man who makes custom Knives out of wood and Bone handles. Bought some knives and still use em. the blades on these things stay sharp and never seem to lose thier edge. neat eh. he forms the blade out of high carbon steel and shapes it and stuff.
got some decent pics on his website where he also takes custom orders. Http://www.morktld.com youve got to see it to believe me. hes got tons of pics on thier of his fishing, hunting and skinnig knives as well as some decorative knives.
Post and let me know what you all think. the one i bought was a deer antler skinner, an Oak handle Hunting knife and an Elk Antler fishing skillet Knife. Abused all and they still work thier charm.
its good to know that there people out there with the same enthousiatic interest. Its passion in the outdoors that truly Motivates Man to go where no other being has gone.

Hey A.C. the link didn't work for me. I'd like to see the blades you're talking about. The cool thing about handmade/custom knives, is for the most part, you can feel the maker's touch in using it. They feel "alive" in the hand (usually), and just a better feel than most production cutlery. Also the fact that you can get it personalized to fit your own needs.

Thanks Mike for the correction.
Yes these knives are pretty slick. love the fact that you dont have to sharpen them as much.
I Use Tungsten Rods to sharpen mine when needed. these rods do a world or a difference on the blade with just a few turns on the knife edge.
Once Went on a multi dayer deep into the sierras and my knife i purchased at a sporting good store broke. Handle slipped off and the blade snapped. whats wierd is that i hardly even used it. all i was doing was using it lightly as it was a small knife. so much for retail bought huh.
good thing i brought my Mork knife along. the Hunting knife was amazing. chopped, sliced and diced whatever i needed.
Plus the prices arent too bad.
well back to the grindstone. Finals are here
