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

Nice Pilot's Knife. I carried the Camillus version when I was in the Army. Gave it away to a fellow soldier who needed a good knife. I don't regret giving him the knife, but I do wish I had held onto more of the knives I carried while in. Keep meaning to pick up another one.

I don't really collect fixed blades, I only have a few. My son on the other hand, loves them especially when they're military issued. He has a lot of other bayonets on display, but it is too much of a hassle to take apart and photograph right now. So he let me take pictures of some he already had out.

Here are three of mine. The top two are German and the bottom one is supposedly a cut down banana knife

Here are some of his

Ontario Mk2

LF&C 1917 Trench knife

Plumb Bolo 1917

Ontario and Camillus Pilots' knives

My two fixed blade, the top one isnt so traditional, but the bottom one HAS to be

and this is one i used to have, traded it for a handmade leather machete sheath for my Ontario 12" machete

oh well, here is my machete and the new sheath i got for the buck

 

[Corso]

not much of a fixed blader either - this being my only one - sees a bit of field use every now and then

old, swedish and carbon steel - its about all I Know about it....

ppretty shart and fairly compact - its paired with a modded opinel no 6...

I call this one my Remington Puukko. It has some fatastic heat treated 440A steel. I use to have a SLH Remington drop point but it had a crappy heat treat so it went away, but this one is a cutting bastard and I think I gave $20 for it brand new from Sportman's Guide about 20 years ago!

Real Nice one Corey! Somebody took good care of her in the collection you snagged her from - Fine Score to be certain!

Here is a good used, really stout and well built, Pilots Air Force Survival knife by Ontario I just picked up.. Got her real cheap and am in the process of cleaning her up a little before I use her as an all-purpose all-around hard task knife for 'in-camp' this fall / winter season..

.. This is the first such Ontario Pilots Air Force knife I have had before. I am hopeful she'll work pretty well for a good general beater around the camp.. Anyone else ever use one of these for similar purposes?


Best,
Anthony

Yes! I have one (dated 2-80) that I use all the time. Since it's a little smaller than my Buck 119 and Ka-Bar, I tend to use it more. It's a perfect size for just about anything I need to do; the bigger ones come out on the longer camping trips, while the Ontario PSK sees general purpose duty. It even makes for a pretty useful heavy-duty-work carry in the city, as long as I slide the bottom of the sheath into my back pocket.
Nice one!

Hi there everyone, this is SUCH a cool thread-good on you Anthony my friend for striking this one up!

Thank you Erin for the wonderful job that you have done on this knife!

I know I have posted this knife before. It is an I.Wilson rehandled in ebony by grand master knife maker Tony Bose.Recently I sent knives to Larry Parsons fore sheaths & got one made for it,too. I wanted soimething subtle but different. Larry suggested buffalo leather front cover. He is a master craftsman,as well.

What a great frontier knife Vince. Understated yet elegant. The ebony was a great choice, as was the buffalo sheath.
Would look very appropriate at a frontier rendezvous.

Very nice, Vince! It's good to see you around these parts!

 

[Pipeman]

Here's a pair of traditionals, a Green river style Buffalo skinner with a stag handle with a fantastic tyne. I made the sheaths with rawhide over veggitan decorated with plains motifs.

Thank youi Anthony..its amazingly light as well-very nice knife-thank you for the kind words!
Robin..that fixed blade looks real interesting!..in fact a awesome matched grouping!

You beat me to it. This is exactly what I thought when I laid eyes on it.
What a BEAUTY!

Thank you Gentleman, I think thats what Erin has in his mind, from the short readings from what erin said in his thread, the Khukuri style is in his tastes...as it shows...this knife is great!

 

[comoha]

Randy Lee "Sidekick". Randy made the knife, Sonja Lee made the sheath, Bruce Shaw did the engraving. About 5 1/4 overall.
