So I spent my $60 bonus twice. No regrets. (I'd already bought a slingshot with the same $60.)

My father gifted me this L66 on my 13th B-day in 1988. It was a big hit with the whitetails until 2005.

Theres nothing I wouldn't give to have one more sit with him, and my grandfather.

This Bulgarian knife in mammoth is obviously just for display; I dassn't take it hunting. I found it odd and amusing that whoever decorated the excellent sheath had the depiction of a mammoth's

or other elephant's tusk more or less upside down.

So many great pictures, so many pretty knives on BF, but that my friend WinMag775 , beats them all. I absolutely love it

elephant's tusk more or less upside down.

I think I've seen that in a kid's prehistory book ages ago, but I can't find it googling.

I finally filled the void in my Big Rock's walnut. (Epoxy and chalk.)

Here it is with the scar unfilled.

Looks like a bargain at $60 Jer

What wonderful history

Couple of old Whittle Tang Bowies from Sheffield. The one on the right went to Cambertree in Australia, who made it nice again

A Horsewright Paisano. Giraffe bone handle with an ironwood spacer:

The blade is 26C3 high carbon steel that was clay coated during heat treat for what I call a working hamon.

Beautiful knife Dave! Really like the Giraffe bone works really good with the DIW spacer

I have two sheephorn handled knives under construction right now. Hadn't used any in the last couple of three batches. It is perennially one of my customer favorites, particularly with the green liners. Thanks and nice shot!

Previous style OKC bushcraft field knife in 5160 and walnut. Ontario marked it as a second by not marking it at all.

The cosmetic flaw was a failure to finish polishing around the tang and along the back.

I think this is the other side.

With a Selkirk for scale. The OKC handle feels longer than it is, compared to the Buck.

O hey I got one of those too, mines also unmarked, looks like they hit the edge of the spine with a polishing belt and rounded one sides corner a bit. Might even it out but really incredibly small a flaw. Anyways this thing is so ugly but in a way that really grows on you. I would not have suspected okc's 5160 so be so fking good and I hate jeps and broad drop points in general. I reeeeally like this knife, what a surprise. If I bother to round the other side of the spine I'll prolly shave the guard down a bit. also came with the best factory grind I have ever seen from okc. Perfectly symmetrical and just a little bit of stropping turned it into a Lazer beam.

O hey I got one of those also unmarked with a similar minute flaw. As someone who hates both that blade and handle design somehow putting them together with that ass ugly wood makes it 180° into something cohesive and beautiful. Also the 5160 is also surprisingly great and it's got the best factory edge I have ever seen from okc by Miles. perfectly even and only a light stropping took it to Lazer beam levels. Might burn down the guard a bit just for preference. Got one of the DeSantis sheaths with it but the knife poked through the bottom so I had to add a little leather loop to the bottom to extend it a bit. Still pokes thru just no one can see

Mine they just seem to have left the back unpolished.
