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

That looks like the one I thought would be the perfect knife, but it was so expensive, except it had a fancier handle. Nowadays I would think the blade too thick for a cutting knife, but I'd bet that handle would more comfortable and less confining.
Review it for us, in your ample free time!
[I'm thinking of the knife in Zulus's post 4085 above, which I think was a version of the LMF.]

Indeed it's
original serial numbered LMF

Very handsome

I took this huge Sheffield Bowie into town yesterday to show my barber (who collects)!

What's the length on that dirk, Jack?

He does a full range of them. That one is 19" overall, with a 15" blade. Thought I could use it to supplement my Peanut!

'Where was the goat?'
'Under my arm.'"

My departed Dad's Marbles hunting knife that I restored from being a rusted mess. I made the sheath - the original one completely disintegrated. Note the Bakelite pommel.

I gotta echo Jack's comment - nice work on the resto.

Thank you Jack. Very special knife for me as my father got to skin out a few deer with it before he passed on. He bought that knife in Rapid City, North Dakota on a big game hunt to Wyoming back in 1954. He was ecstatic that I was able to restore it and also make the sheath with his initials on it. My memories of that time in my life are very special to me.

Thank you very much for the kind words. No other knife that I own means as much to me with maybe one exception and it comes in second place. My Buck 303 that my Dad gifted to me over 45 years ago. I keep it in very nice shape and wicked sharp too.

The sheath you made looks like Pal RH 36 WWII sheath.View attachment 1775063
