Post up your 4-5" Bushcraft blades

Great pics! This makes it difficult to figure out what my next purchase will be. A good problem to have.

This forum will make you extremely poor! Once you figure out what knife you want and order it, you will look for knives to get in the meantime. It's a vicious cycle!
 
Must make deciding what to carry very difficult. Nice selection.

You have no idea. I'll freely admit that I have way more knives than I know what to do with. I keep buying ones saying to myself this knell be a user. And then buying other users anyway!
 
My new Favorite is a JK Kephart in Tigerstip Maple. Personally this is Johns' best design and it fits the hand like a glove, super light weight and a real pleasure to use. I cant recommend the knife enough and dealing with John is second to none, a true gent! Here are a few pics

This is a pic of the Kephart next to JK's Scout Jr, another favorite of mine in orange g-10. A bit heftier and more of a brute, this is another fine blade by John.

John's Kephart is top notch. He has this pattern perfected!
 
Here is my newest to the big blade category. Blade length almost 5 1/2 inches. OAL around 10 1/2. This one really came out sweet.

Here are a couple of other knives I got recently. Not as big but definitely good bushcraft blades...

I wanna know the secret
How do you all keep your blades so brand new looking ?
I cant match it .. mine get scarred up unless I keep them for kitchen duty only .
What it the secret ?
 
This is by far one of the best thread of the whole forum...made me decide I will start taking pics of my knives when I get back into the outdoors (when summer is over).
Trevytrev's JK Kephart Tigerstip Maple is simply awesome...someday I will buy one of his knives for sure.
HandofCod, what's the fourth knife from the left in ur pic? the one with lanyard? Ya, I guess choosing can be hard sometimes...that's why I try to keep only a few knives, don't wanna spend too much time wondering what to bring, even tho that's part of the fun too...
:cool:
 
Here are my best. The bigger Koyote Great Basin is my newest along with the Scrapyard War Dog. The War Dog surprised me- she's a chunker, but what a great bush blade! The smaller Koyote is out of this size range, but is simply one of my favorite blades and is very capable of a lot of work.
