Fixed blades

[Box_Opener]

What time frame was this knife made? John

1990s. Not sure if it was as early as the late 80s.

Your knife with the beautiful lines kinda reminds me of a knife I have, made by @JK Knives
Both look like such great users....
His hardworking knives have been one of a few inspiration's with my work and designs.

His is handled in a warm Osage wood.

That's an old school one. Did that handle shrink that much?

I’m not certain what’s up with the handle yet, knife is new to me and I haven’t fiddled with it yet. I’m thinking the guard has slipped down?

There was a time when I was looking for longer straight edges. Hard to find something decent and non-custom longer than 4".

This one is quite unique, hollow ground, too .... 6.1" x 0.21" Sleipner, made in Spain. Heavily black coated originally; which was an easy fix, except for finding metric scale hardware. The original white on black print on the blade survived the stripping, laser cut, I guess.

Finally getting something done!

First time having a FBBO and MBBO together in progress at the same time! Pardon the tape smudgies!


And a big AEB-L fillet knife! 10" blade, customer wanted the spine sharpened too?? Blue Ameragrip and Snake pins, plus a patriotic belt sheath!

Those look great! The sheaths on the smaller pair look like they’re perfect for waistband carry.. good job

Yeah must be. Only thing I can think is the kraton shrunk enough to let it slide down.

Cool blade just the same though.

That's a winner. Nice shaping on this handle. Great design.

Thanks! It's based off of the Benchmade Bugout, but with a slightly longer/wider handle and a bit more of a ricasso. The MBBO is based off the mini bugout, again with a little longer and wider handle and blade. I love the Bugout size/shape, and wanted to make something similar fixed blade wise! It makes for a great vertical or horizontal EDC type blade and is big enough for basic hunting tasks. A few of these are in Montana with professional guides and their clients, so they get put to good use!

U.S. Issue Large Olive ALICE Pack, Used

The Genuine U.S. military issue large size ALICE pack (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment) is a true vintage backpack for the long haul.

The pack is nylon, there is a canvas pouch attached I don't know much about. I think it's much older.
