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

"FLINT XXX HI-CARBON USA" with 6 brass tacks on each side of the handle and a buckskin lanyard in a 1920s Cheyenne beaded sheath. Found in a Cody, WY antique store many years ago.

This has been in one of the Sheffield museums since my dad was a boy (if it's still on display).

I never really liked it Jer, it's ground like a cold chisel, and I don't find the blocky Zytel handles comfortable, nor do I like the noisy, Zytel sheath :thumbsup:
But it's so rugged!
I had a feeling.
I don't have a clear picture of myself from 1993, but I'd have loved it in the '70s.

I don't remember what came with this sheath, but I bought the knife a few weeks ago in Saugatuck for $5. It has some awkward grinding but it seems to be plated. It's a nice little knife, however it came to be.

The forward pin is a bamboo skewer.
With foamy gorilla glue.

'Rugged' ya say?! A friend bought me this for my 50th birthday, must be 1/4" thick! :eek: I've never even photographed it before, let alone carried it. Hoping I can give it back to my pal one day :D :thumbsup:

Funny how designs have changed, I was watching a video of a couple of Navy SEALs laughing at a BuckMaster recently! :D I used to like Robert Parrish's designs in the 80's :D :thumbsup:

By coincidence, I have this one out on my coffee table :thumbsup:

I think the 53rd fighter squadron, the Wild Cards, used the BuckMaster as their "Kabar" in Space Above and Beyond. It seemed to fit in space. I thought it was a very nice touch that the Marines were still calling their belt knife a Kabar way in the future.

It has more utility than a lot of combat knives, but I haven't used it much.

I don't know where my Buck Nighthawk is, but I found my Carhartt mittens. I'd put them in a box of china while looking for something else.

Now THAT'S a knife! :cool: :thumbsup:

I've been carrying this Brisa Kephart today :) :thumbsup:

I don't have any fine or collector grade knives... More like an accumulation of users that I find interesting.

These are a few oldies that I've enjoyed quite a bit.

Stacked leather is my favorite. That union has nice bone scales though. At least I think it's bone... Doesn't melt.
 
Well... I think that those are fine and collector grade knives. Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
Agreed!!

I have a Schrade bowie that is quite similar. I think I've posted it here in the past, but maybe it's time to post it again 😝 Very nice pile of knives you have there!! I too liked stacked leather on fixed blades. There's just something about it I can't quite put my finger on.
