I keep coming back to my
Swamp fox knives and Idaho knife work blades. Especially my small Bowie, thought it was too small, but the practicality of such a smaller Bowie appeals to me. I said the thought of using it , and therein lies the issue. I need to use them. Rather than just admiring them while sitting on the couch.

Thanks for letting me rant, old pics too.

Thank you. This knife is made according to the drawing "Lapin Puukko" by Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala.

"Rather than just admiring them while sitting on the couch" lololol I can relate to this qutoe. I just bought a dark timber Comanche from a member here, and everytime my wife walks in the living room I act like I'm looking at something on the knife. In reality I'm just holding it looking at how badass it is. After 16 years I'm sure she's picked up on it by now.

I don't even pretend, I just hand it to my wife so she can admire it too lol

Can anyone please shed some light on this custom. I believe it was purchased directly from a maker here close to 10 years ago. Only marking is an A

That looked like an AA Forge knife, so I did some digging and hit gold pretty quick.

Thanks again Adam for the camp knife!

I'm very happy!! ;):thumbup: Sorry for the lousy pic.

Nice knife by the way. Adam Gray is a very talented maker, but use Extreme Caution making any pre-paid custom orders with him.

Wow that was fast. Phil thank you so much. A friend gave me this and a bunch others to help him move and he wasnt even sure who made it. Again I appreciate it

 

[Horsewright]

Always more coming!

4 is .200" AEBL. I'm not sure, if I'm calling it a Parang or a lambsplitter?
it is a request to replace a very cheap knife, but the person liked the shape, I can dig out the requested picture later....? I hope he likes Mine better.

5, 6, & 7 are the same except...

5 is hidden tang (it's still over .700" wide) and A8mod steel almost . 250" thk
6 is the same but full tang 17" blade. 23.5" overall
7. Is AEBL and fulltang .200" thk

all Big stuff.
I was requested to copy a famous makers blade from Here.... I said NO.
-but I'll make MY version of a big Chopper.

Hopefully somebody wants them

I really like your steel choices.

 

[Crag the Brewer]

I really like your steel choices.

What's funny about This is, that I think if I add up all the steel types I've worked with making knives.....It's around 10 different steels?

I Like them ALL....

The knife was made by Nikolai Shlepov, a knifemaker from Moscow. In mass production, the knife looked like this:

Nikolai made it according to the drawings. On them the guard was a separate part made of brass. And the master replaced the plastic with stained wood.
