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

An engraved Ranchero from AEB-L with a swedge and camel bone:

Nice! If I ever wind up with one of your knives I think that’s the model I want.

Been carrying this one today, Joseph Rodgers 1900-1910

Hello Jack,

When I was a child living in a rural area the local Cafe had one just like this , they used it to slice the Polony.



Cheers.

I used to have Polony as a kid too! Really nice Sting, I'm afraid I only have the CRKT version

Thanks! Normally the Ranchero is damascus but I can do er in any steel really.

Buck 476 Mini Diamondback, 2004 tang stamp. I bought it new because it was an amazingly inexpensive Buck, then saw the Taiwan and never gave it much of a chance. Now I've opened my mind, I guess.

A little less unfocussed, I hope:

Today I received a package I've been looking forward to for a couple weeks now. My custom pancake sheath for a Western L88 arrived this afternoon from Dave "Horsewright" Ferry. The materials, design and workmanship are absolutely tip top, the fit is snug and the draw is smooth. My gun belt and several holsters are in black, so it matches beautifully. This sheath is to be worn at the small of the back and drawn with the right hand.

That's some top notch work, Jeff! That leather suits the L88 beautifully.

I got in a Puukko today that I've become rather taken with. The knife and sheath were made by Tommi Mäkelä and the blade was made by Saku Honkilahti. Forged 80crv2 steel, fitted with Bog Oak and stainless/white coriander fittings.

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Dylan, that puukko sure has a pointy tip on it . . . I like!

 

[Prester John]

I'm going to make a sheath and pretend these are punales.

One sheath at least for starters, because I doubt I'll be carrying more than one of these at a time.
I don't know, though, one for each hand and one to throw?

Those are good juggling knives. Three at a time is my limit.

 

[Prester John]

Think of Stan Shaw Jer, he still hacksaws all his own steel at 93! He told me, in his workshop at home he positions himself with his back against a tall chest of drawers, to get extra purchase, and reckons he goes through it like a hot knife through butter! It's very annoying Jer, the substitutions are often completely nonsensical

Disable spell check -- you'll be happier.

ANOTHER pattern I gotta get!

Kind of funny to think that now what is essentially the current version of this in the Bucklite max series are all American made and still dirt cheap at around $20.
They've compromised nothing, but they've got everything down pat and realized they actually can make it just as inexpensively in house here in the USA.

Thats a beauty Dylan. It has the look of a well thought out knife with perfect balance in proportions and material selections, plus built to last.

Thanks sir! It was fun working with your knife and a challenge too.

Thanks for the compliment, Jack! Dave, I imagine that large guard was the "hang up" . . . but you did great! I'm glad I could contribute to your arsenal of knowledge.
