Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

Somebody in another subforum had a neat trick. He made stock-reduction knives from files, zone-tempering as he went, by letting the the stock get hot where he wanted it soft, and keeping it cool where he wanted it hard.

This is beyond my knowledge or skills o_O :D all I know is they sure make for an interesting blade. Charlie Davis of Anza says, "We choose to make our knives from files because a file is an excellent source of high carbon tool steel. Through a process called annealing, we remove the brittleness normally found in a file"
 
Michael Morris looks to make some nice file knives, well priced too. I'm surprised we don't see them more here, his friction folders were quite popular when I first started posting :thumbsup:

I'm sure I'd hurt myself with the "cut'n'shoot", but he does have some nice stuff.

lol :p I would have to agree with you, I really don't think Canada Customs would let it pass through. They would most likely classify it as a gravity knife. :eek: The only knives that are safe for me to order any longer are slipjoints.

Not many folks making that kind of thing these days. I'm surprised Cold Steel don't do them! :eek: :D :thumbsup:

Sometimes I like things rough. Handle is hemp cord soaked in white wood glue.

Some of you may have read about me losing my friend, Alan. Well, here is another of the treasures I got from the crate he gifted us.

And, in the hand for size.

That's a nice IMPERIAL H7 you got there.
I love my H6 which is the same knife minus the fish scaler on the spine, it really is a great fixed blade for daily utility.
Not a heavy duty knife with a grip you can bear down on, but a good size and nice and lightweight.
They also cut really well.
