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

Boker did a very good job with those. I don't know where they were made and would like to know. I have one also.

Variations on a theme:




A KERSHAW and two GERBERS. The wooden handled GERBER came to me with no sheath, and the bumps between the finger grooves were pointy but damaged. I filed down the damaged points, enhancing its appearance IMHO, and making it possible to hold the knife with a reverse grip. I've never found a reason to carry any of these, but I sure enjoy owning them. If I could only keep one of them, it would definitely be the model 400; it's a one-of-a-kind. I'm glad I recently stumbled upon this thread, as I enjoy it immensely. T-A

Speaking of Gerbers, this was a Big Rock camp knife. I decided I didn't like the spiky thumb ramp or the undersized plastic handle slabs.

This new Old Hickory outdoors mini fillet just arrived, been waiting a good while for BHQ to get them in stock.
I'm still not 100% positive if they're carbon or stainless, but I'll know soon enough I suppose
The site says carbon, but the rep in the blade show video said stainless.

It should make an excellent ultralight EDC belt knife, I'll give it a go and see.
I don't do much heavy duty cutting so I can't imagine any issues and I know it'll sure be great for cutting my lunch.

I'm not too impressed with the sheath regardless of COO but it is functional, as a lefty I'm sure I'll make one eventually but I will give the factory sheath an honest try.

great little fur skinning blade! Not to mention general daily utility. I will have to look into these.

Uh... I think you posted in the wrong thread,

I've had this a long time. Colt Black Diamond Defender. After I drilled out the lanyard tube to put on a longer handle, I decided the old handle was fine. Maybe some day I'll drill out the dowel and put in a lanyard tube, or maybe I've done enough damage.

The sheath was made in USA; the knife doesn't actually say so.
I was thinking I needed a 6" tanto, and then remembered that I don't.

Got a new one in recently - I've been really enjoying this maker's work. 52100 steel with walnut and Micarta.

Nice lines. The micarta and walnut combo looks pretty good IMHO.

Doesn't get much more basic than these old Kershaw Bear/Antelope Hunter's.

Isn't that one of the Vanguard variants?

I am cleaning it up and sharpening this one for a friend. So it is on loan to me for a week or so. It hasn’t been cleaned in years. You can see the deer fat on the blade. It must be stainless. I really don’t know much about it.

If memory serves correct, I believe it was called the Zipper

I'm pretty sure I have an advert from the early 90's. I'll try and remember to have a look for it

 

[OldHercDude]

Yeah, that Buck above is the Buck Zipper. Currently on their website, so either back in or still in production.

And since it's a pic thread - here's a snap of my Buck Vanguard 692 with their "Heritage Walnut DymaLux" handle.
