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

Well, I found the Fiskars in the Schrade sheath, but I don't think it's right for the Remington. The Remington would be enclosed to just barely above the balance point at the first rivet.

Olsen Knife. OAL 9 in. Blade 4 in.

On the smaller side. A Poco Cowboy Toothpick. Similar in shape to the Cowboy Toothpick but smaller dimensions.

Black Walnut handle:

A qama or kindjal from an antique mall. Not that it looks very antique.

The back is plain. The off-center band on the scabbard looks meant to receive a cord for tying to a belt.

The band on that qama looks a lot like a clip holding two halves of the scabbard together, with the help of the button on the end and the collar on the handle. Inside the sheath are two wooden (?) liners that hold the knife in and keep it from rattling. One of the liners has a bit of green felt over the top, that looks like it went down the inside of the liner.
Someone has scrubbed off some rust at the base of the blade with some not very fine abrasive.

No, I'm not going to melt the solder off that clip to see what happens.

Interesting find Jer, looks like the sort of thing my Sikh neighbours wear for weddings and funerals

Interesting, too. My big glossary says it's a qama in Georgia, and I've assumed that the qamas mentioned in the Persian autobiography In the Imperial Shadow are the same implement. That big glossary also describes a lot of hoplological items as "Indo-Persian".

I was only speaking vaguely Jer, but that's fascinating stuff

I got two of these cosmetic second Ontario Bushcraft Field knives about the time Ontario was being sold out. They didn't have sheathes, so BPS to the rescue again.

The Buck 476 has always been my favorite pattern for hunting; a couple years ago, one of my co-workers made me two custom fixers based on the Buck 476 pattern. One is stainless steel with dark walnut handles and blue liners; the other is carbon steel with flame box elder handles and red liners.

Factory Marble’s stacked-leather knife that earned its lambsfoot profile the hard way (“In the Navy,” musically speaking) with all the ear marks of heavy rope cutting work, bent brass hand guard on pull cuts. Maybe not born a lamb but someone thought it should have been.

Definitely has some character

I was in grade school or high school (don't recall which) when a friend of my parents gave me this Western L66. (It's marked BOULDER, COLO. PAT'D. MADE IN U.S.A., so a late 40s to mid 50s model, I believe.) I never had a sheath for it until a couple of years ago when I asked a local craftsman to make one for me. He did an OK job, but I was never completely happy with it. Well, last week I found a nice one with a basket weave pattern at the local knife shop. It was in the "bargain bin" for $10 and is about 5/8 inch longer than it needs to be, but looks great with this knife.

That sort of implement looks like it could "cause" weddings and funerals.

Here is the first finished knife that I have made in D2 steel. I am impressed so far with the edge holding of D2 after skinning 2 deer last weekend. Still shaving sharp afterwards. Couple design inspirations from some factory knives as I try to find out what I like.

This one is a bit large for me at 5" blade length, but the extra blade made short work of cutting through skin and meat. It's a 1/8" spine and full flat grind.
