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

Just one of those weird tidbits of trivia about Western knives I collect.

Thanks for sharing them.

It would be so much easier if I used eBay, but I don't.

I use it a bit. I try to limit stress and time-loss by sticking to "Buy it now"s.

Oh, the jumping was added by me a while ago.

Nice job.
So this L36 with unstamped guard and Boulder Colo / USA on the tang would be pre 1968, if I have learned aright.

Thanks ! I've added jimping to knives before, but this is my best work .

WOW, those Nordic/Finnish knives look like they're straight from Middle Earth. Beautiful to my eyes

Thanks David... I don't actively look for them but certain ones really catch my eye and I can't resist There is such a good range of sizes, styles, handle materials, sheaths, etc. that they are partially works of art in my eye. The smallest one I have is 4-3/4" long and the largest is 10-3/4" long See thumbnail pic.

I like that red-handled one, veitsi_poika . Is that the old milk-protein plastic? (I can never remember the name.)

Here's a Montero El Camino from Terry Primos, 1084 and ironwood. Terry's not making knives anymore, as far as I know. He was mentored by Jerry Fisk. Nice knife!

Great Knives Kev mate. Any type of knife from Finland / Norway etc is usually pretty darned good.

I agree; I am hoping to expand my inventory in that direction whilst contracting it in others. Kevin's knives are good'ns.

Boris Krylov. He makes his knives here but imports his blades from Finland. This blade is a Lauri. Boris' sheaths are beyond exceptional; you won't understand this until you hold one.View attachment 1029927 View attachment 1029928

WOW Kevin!!! very NICE

Not old in any way shape or form but I LOVE this Kephart tribute repo from Ethan

 

[John A. Larsen]

I got to talk to Ethan and handle that Kephart at the Blade West in Portland. he and Ka-Bar did a great job with the knife. John

John, I've only played with it briefly aside for in house use I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this knife. I told my pal Duncan that this size fixed blade isn't what I usually carry for a daily carry. I'll carry my Bushboot in a clip pocket sheath for that, but this is such an amazing knife, it will be my in the woods, prairie walk knife from here on out, it's simple appearance is highly exceeded by it's function
