That's a great pic. I really love the lines on the originals.
Thanks very much. My wife just calls it my dirty habit....

Then the last one I got was one from Sursum Knife Works that I simply couldn’t resist, even with only the little I have had a chance to do with it so far it is most certainly a favorite.
I love that one, what a great looking knife.

Say Hear Guys,
Sorry no pic's here either, but I'm going lighter too. I went from my Ontario Ranger Afghan 1/4" 5160 steel and my Ontario RD 9 also 1/4" 5160, to a Ratmandu and the Rodent 9, the RMD is 3/16's and the Nine is 1/4 then I lightened my Himalayan Import M43 18" blade to a M43 10" thinner blade , but other than a Moral clipped I never had a 1/8" blade all were thicker blades, so now I have To John Bradley Camp Knife 1/8" 52100 blade and fella's lemme tell'ya its awesome scary sharp and its everything I want to do bushcraft wood work, I even went from a Cold Steel Reconcile Scout I carry at camp to a Fallkniven NL-3. A smart man learns by his own mistakes, but a wise man learns by there's mistakes, Thank You very much fella's for all your Great inputs I learned over time at this Forum. God Bless Y'All for Your knowledge you taught me.
As You were Gentleman,

Say Heah Guys,
I just got a knife from a knife maker by the name of John Bradley. He made me one of his camp knives, in a 1/8" thick 52100 steel. I was a bit hesatent because most of my knives are 3/16's thick. You men taught me there are more factors to knives ei. geometry, tempering etc. the knife is a real scary sharp, nice pointy knife. then I found out it wasn't tempered, but banite hardened or austempered? anyhow I knew something good that the knife was special. it does my sort of bushcraft and then some. But? can anyone tell me what low banite austempering is? because that 4 1/2" camp knife with ironwood handle is one excellent knife. Yet I don't know what I have.
Thanx in advance,
Paul'ie

Machine26,
Awesome pics. Kinda puts the whole "hollow handles are weak and worthless" thing in perspective. I to have a Randall 18 that I find works excellent in the woods. Thanks for posting.
