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

As I said to you before, ~P, I'm really glad you like it. I think everyone would agree that you are an incredible asset to this community. All the best!
 
Had been itching for one of these and finally got to try it -- not bad for 30 bucks! This is a Svord "kitchen utility" #6KKP, 11" OAL, 5" blade. looks like a full-length tang, 3/32" of glorious L6, ash handle. Interestingly, it is chisel-ground with a convex bevel for a right-handed user. I very much like the gaucho/facon-esque shape and could imagine this knife handling a number of camp tasks outside of the kitchen. Next step is probably to make a sheath. There is also a smaller model with a 4" blade.

Robeson from my great uncle. Probably from the late thirties, or early forties, I'm guessing.
 
Thanks Sir! They are great knives, they feel in hand just great and the blade shape is very universal to many tasks... but it seems that this type of knife has been banned to the abyss.

Maybe it would be a nice idea for the 2015 Forum Knife... :confused:
 
Realized I purchased a nice traditional fixed blade this last year.

It's very nicely put together, and is a real beauty. Cold Steel's Warrior O-Tanto.

Both of these were gifts, one 15 years ago by my wife (thanks Andi for reminding me of my sharpfinger, yours are great examples) and one 35 years ago by an old friend, a buck kalinga with a pointed guard instead of a squared. Excuse my bad cell phone pics.

I have been lusting after Bark River Knives for a while and finally decided to get off my butt and get one. Originally I wanted a Bravo 1. However, I ran across a Survivor one day and "had" to get it. I still had the desire for the Bravo 1 though. There are too many to choose from. So I started at an Olivewood Bravo 1. The knives are great, but I think eventually I would like to upgrade the sheath that they come with.








 
I like this tread. It's a pity it goes down so fast!
Here is another traditional I have got: traditional Saami knife. :)

One of my Frosts of Mora Lapplanders. Had these 20-odd years.

 
Ahh, the Sharpfinger. What a lovely little knife; a true classic.
There are plenty of "nicer" knives, but not many "better" in my opinion.
I have plenty of prettier blades, made with fancier materials or higher-end steel, but none of them feel as much like an extension of my body when I hold them in my hand.
Really love the Sharpfinger.

Nice ones, gents. Here's mine.
