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

Blackberries vines don't stand a chance against the power of the Skrama.

I think not my friend!

I just got the photo for this Bagwell tribute. Bill passed last year but will influence Bowies for a long time.

Coop shot this other one from earlier this year at the same time.

Love the clean simplicity of this one, and I'm always a sucker for a coffin handle. In my mind, this is what a more accurate historical Bowie looks like.

Thanks, I love it too. I just kind of winged it and then was happy with how it turned out.
I'm going to do one more this year, a dog bone handle just to be different.

Can't remember if I posted this here or not. Hunting knife I made for my brother with some Axis stag handles. I'm pretty proud of how this turned out despite the primary bevel and plunge line being uneven. It is thin behind the edge and has a wicked tip. 1/8" 154CM steel that I had heat treated by the vendor here in TX. My first as-ground finish. The other two I did were hand-rubbed to hide the imperfections in the grind lines .

Well done, those are very impressive Great lines

My mate with a second-hand tool stall, picked this old Robert Sorby Butcher's Knife up with a garage clearence he was doing. Let me have it for a quid (£1). The last owner made a mess of the edge, but half a dozen strokes on granny's old kitchen steel, and while it's no prettier, it's as sharp as a razor! Hopefully, I can make it look just a little bit better

Nice. I like seeing the kitchen and butchering knives. Here is a 19th century all metal bread knife.

Here's another one. Goins’ Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings 1998 edition says circa 1825 until 1852, at which time the firm became Wingfield and Rowbotham. The handle is hand carved in a wheat motif.

Thanks Lee, those are very interesting, and in lovely condition. I do enjoy using an old Bread Knife, though the one I use everyday is barely a century old I have a load of stuff in my kitchen, and tucked away, I should photograph. Old Sheffield kitchen cutlery still sells for very little here, even nice old carving sets

Maybe even especially old carving sets?
That's what most of the Sheffield knives I see here are, so there must have been a lot of them, and nobody seems to use a carving set anymore.

Bread knives have had a lot of tooth designs.

The Quikut of Fremont Ohio looks to me like a bread knife, but if it had any teeth at all, someone like me has ground them off.
The loop-handled one has "Christy Pat[ent]s".
The bread knife that didn't come over on the Titanic has the wave edge like the Christy, but a wooden handle.

That's true Jer, they don't. These days, I think I only use one about once a year myself. I have my grandmother's old Joseph Rodgers set, which like a lot of other things, she, rather annoyingly, had EPNS plated by an old mate in the cutlery trade. I do use the steel quite often though. Nice pair of bread knives

Nice. If the plunge gets away from me like that I take the easy way out...I was planning a full flat grind!

I am liking this thread. Here is an odd duck- looks like it could have been seized by a crusader in the 1300s from an infidel, but it is actually made for releasing succulent slices of (mutton? lol....wait.... beef) from a joint, at table. I tried to give this to Duncan but he made the sign of the cross and stepped aside.View attachment 1920795View attachment 1920796View attachment 1920797View attachment 1920798

Wow! That's an interesting knife Lee I have a big, but far less attractive, Joseph Elliott Butcher's Knife on my kitchen wall
