Yeah, Trucker Monkey, you do.

I'm on it Moose. They are far too nice to keep clean. They are made to be used and use them I am.:thumbup:

We must see visual proof of those knives being used. Photos, etc. Otherwise, we'll have to send the Kabar burrowing stealth gnomes over and re-possess them.



Here's mine: regular #1217 C/U and a Dozier KBD1.

For the level of hard use my #1217 has taken, it looks surprisingly good.

The KBD1 (fourth knife down):

#598. Toooj commented on the #598 here (post #10): http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/895917-What-model-is-this

The middle knife is a Kabar BK-13 Remora, the first fixed blade I got my son, after completing his first year as a Boy Scout. (Top and bottom are Camillus-made Beckers.)

Love my Kabar, use it for everything. I've got other knives but this one keeps ending up on my belt when I venture into the woods.

Glad I am not the only one that has ground off the back side of the finger gaurd. Makes the knife alot better for woods use I think.

Makes it a WHOLE lot better, it's my favorite woods knife now. Did the same for my boy's Cold Steel (yeah I know) GI Tanto. Not a bad knife for woods work now either

Crap pic, but here are two of my 1245 tactical tanto. I love this knife!

Ka-bar short black fighter. Custom “Kar-bar” job by Florida knife maker, John H Davis. Note: they aren’t kidding when they say the short Ka-bar fighter’s handle is small. I have smallish hands, and this handle even feels tiny to me. That aside, great knife, even better with the Kar-bar mod…

HoRy CRAP!! I want me one of those!! Does this man or someone around here do that often?

My old school. Bought at the factory in 1951.

Reserved for when I get enough energy to find my camera.

Had Mr Tommythewho make some scales for my small TDI. What ya think? The wood is Bubinga.

That's definately original. I like it actually even though I am not that big a fan of wood scales

 

[Zemapeli]

Why? Because.

Exactly.

Stripped heavy bowie, that finish wasn't too bad but it only stayed on it for about 3 hours. That's sand blasted but I polished it up to a 240 grit and convexed the edge, removed the toog handle too. No more pics until I make the alternate handle, looking now for suitable handle material, and I need to figure out how to make a nice guard that still implements the partial finger choil. I plan to make it a simple matter of removing a bolt to switch between handles.

The usual suspects.

I got to spend a little time in Yellowstone playing today. I'm really becoming shocked by the coating on the FU. It wears like iron.
