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

I'm not sure I'd have bought this knife if I'd known there would be no sheath, so I'm glad I didn't know.

That's a shame about the lack of the sheath Jer, useful-looking knife though

Thanks, I like it. Like a little brother to the 225Q.

I have been known to buy a BUCK knife just to get another one of those flap-over sheaths. This is a true story.

They're making them for the 119 again, but as a lefty I'm SOL.

I just paid for a snap-around 119 sheath on the bay. I'm hoping that will fit the Seneca, and the naked 119 can have its flap sheath back.
With the $10 discount the Seneca dealer gave me, and about $17.50 for the new sheath, I have around $57 in the knife. I like the knife, I like the lake, I like the company, and not every kid on the block has one, so I'm pretty happy.

I'm even happier. Whoever is selling them through Llamaland now is charging $60 with no sheath. Which brings it up towards $80 overall.

You did well there Jer, it can be harder to find a good sheath than it is to find a good knife! The autocorrect on my not-so-smart phone keeps trying to call you 'Jet'!

I love that blade profile... What is blade length and OAL?

The blade length = 12"
OAL =17 1/4"

It's quite a substantial knife... one of my favorites.

I'm not sure if my previous reply went through.

I see two of them.

OOPS...it's an age thing I guess.

So I figured I needed to do a mini homage to the good old Ka bar usmc. I call it the ka baby



I used a grinding machine to form my miniature ka-bar from an old utility blade, cutting the guard out of a tuna can. Stacking leather was difficult so I used a leather string and super glue instead

Cool project.

 

[Hickory n steel]

Very cool.

I used to forge a lot of miniature knives out of 16D nails, basically just hammering the nail flat then shaping with files and a dremel.
About 10 years ago I bought a plumbing torch for 1 repair and having no use for it at the time that's what became of it.

I made a bunch for family and friends as gifts, they all thought I should try to sell them but I never considered it more than a hobby or good enough to sell.

forging, that’s more hard core than machining them from utility blades

Two of my lesser known and shown Hudson Bay style, a ML 5 incher with black walnut, and one I got off flea bay awhile back, rustic but just a user,I think the blade may be in mid 50s.

That's really neat. The smallest knife I made was a lapel dagger. I suppose I would use my needle files to try a miniature. I guess you could completely file the bevels in just a few minutes.
