my sheath knives...

[IVANKERLEY]

here is my small collection of sheath knives... from the top
An old Tramontina Carbon Bowie that i fixed up and rehandled (my first)
A Cattaraugus 225Q
My new spike knife courtesy of BF member butchesforge:thumbup:
unbranded "esco" sportsman
The spike knife is a great little knife with surprisingly good ergonomics (i have pretty big hands) and it shaves hair even after whittlin sticks and cutting some cardboard yesterday
Big thanks to Butch for taking my suggestions and crafting one cool little knife for me. Anyway thought i'd share
cheers

not sure which last one ya mean so,
the small sportsman style is carbon steel only marking is a blade etch that says esco high tempered carbon steel ? dunno never seen another one like it not a bad score for under 20 bucks and its got the sheath too
the spike knife is carbon steel railroad spike dunno what kind typically lower quality steel but it takes a wicked edge so even if it doesnt keep it as long as some of the newer steels at least its easy to sharpen back up:thumbup:

The bowie was a chore i had never fixed up a knife before, its not perfect but its done
The RR spike knife is amazing, i had read about the lower quality steel and edge retention being a problem, what ever Butch is doing its working:thumbup: I whittled sticks and cut some cardboard not hard use but its still shaving so we will see.
cheers
