Thought I'd bring this one back up with a Terry Primos El Camnio. OAL 8.75", 1084 Hand Forged, flat ground, stone washed blade, mortised tang with Ironwood Burl handles. Dan Schevers sheath. Nice hamon on this one and a nice grey patina that has developed.

Thanks guys. I've got a few of Terry's knives. It's too bad he quit. Jack, I pick up Mike's book now and then and always find something interesting.

Ooooh Gary...thats a real nice looking knife right there!! well done.
Just wanted to add to my friends Thread - now...speaking of...does anyone know of the where-a-bouts of Anthony ( SunnyD ) The OP of this Thread, Anthony and I used to talk a lot and phone etc...I havent talked to him in a long long time-lost contact - anyone know how he is?
Here are a few that I picked up, this German Hunting knife is one I used to own, I sold it to a friend of mine and I asked for first option if and when he sold it- that day came today and just returned from picking it up.
In the photo's it looks "cheaper" than what it is in real life = most Solingens with the painted etched Blades I can take or leave - but all work on both sides of this Blade are all in high relief - not just etched in like the others, there seems to be a lot more attention to detail compared to the normal ones out there.
Everywhere you look at this knife- theres attention to detail ....the Blades have a unique brushed Satin effect....
Its a very sturdy and heavy knife, just all round a quality piece - I do understand if this is not your cup-of- Tea......
Stunning Stag...
Nice Detail to the very sturdy Sheath.....
Pommel
When looking at the detail and the complete scene is in high detail - rather than the opposite with the more economic versions of etched blades of this sort - I guess it's hard to explain until you hold this particular knife.....
Another nice fixed Blade - again a Solingen - Stunning Stag on a Beautiful Knife, anything herbertus had made- was always very high end - this knife is no different, possibly Anton Wingen Jr?
One I picked up from mike...M.K Knifemaker... Man this is a unreal, stunner........
Matt Bailey has been in my sights for a few years now, bagged two a while ago through my North Dakota Post Office - lol Thank you Paul for being the middle man ( again)...
Necker - Matt Bailey - sweet little knife this one .......

Wow Duncan, WOW. That German Hunting knife is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I'm not German knife knowledgeable but what little I know the first thing to mind was Anton Wigen?
The Huebertus and Bailey's I was able to hold and again both of Matt's (well all of his knives) are just amazing. I'm fortunate to own a STAG handled fixed blade of his as well. His sheaths are like slippers for the knives themselves
:thumbup:
The STAG on the Huebertus is just stunning up close...a beautiful knife. Very nice Duncan, thanks for taking the time to post them:thumbup:
The M.K. is truly unique, his Damascus is mesmerizing, one I'd love to field test. The materials he uses for his handles cause a hypnotic effect on a person

Having recently gone on a Fiddleback Forge bender 
, I deemed it wise to corral my current fixed blade knives and assess what I have, what I actually use, how I feel about 'em, and where I want to go from here.
These images aren't up to my usual standards, but they'll do the trick for reference and so forth.
I think we can all agree that my vintage pink formica table is the true winner, here.
The line-up:
From the top:
LT Wright Knives (LTWR) Bushcrafter HC, natural micarta in 1075, ie, Mr. Ugly
Grohmann DH Russell #2 Trout & Bird, rosewood, full flat grind, carbon
Terrio Handmade Knives (THK) Strix, paperstone, O1
Fiddleback Forge Patch, navy burlap micarta, A2
Redmeadow Knives Grittler, walnut, O1
GEC H20, OD green canvasmicarta, 1095
Russell Green River Works Patch, clad in African Blackwood and finished up by VCM3, carbon
Fiddleback Forge Esquire, navy burlap micarta, A2
Burt Foster Small Dark Side, forged damascus
Arno Bernard Porcupine, giraffe bone, Bohler N690
LTWK Patriot, desert ironwood, D2
The specialists:
... Just because.
The Foodies:
The first two see regular use in the kitchen, while the Patch knife is my go-to travel companion for on-the-go (including, in-the-hotel) meals.
A pared-down grouping to see some of my main squeezes more clearly:
The core group of do-ers:
(The Redmeadow should be in this picture as well. It usually lives in my Jeep, ready.)
The blues:
... and the two that are catalyzing the current overthrow:
On the whole, I'm pleased. I have a few that I respect more than I enjoy, which may lead to some departures in the near future. I'm trying to eliminate as much 'should' from my life and collections as possible, including any knife that pushes on me to like/use more/want-- vs. just plain liking, using, and wanting it.
A work in progress.

I got a better 225Q yesterday. Actually it's my Christmas present from my big brother.
I knew someone had tried to grind an edge behind the point of the 3-dollar one above, but now I can appreciate how much damage he did before giving up.

My latest is a large hunter (9.3" OAL) in CPM-3V by Taryn Collins of Wind River Wild custom knives. The handles are green canvas micarta with catalpa burl bolsters.
