Full size.

Great blades - both the new and the vintage.

Really like the spears. I go hog hunting with a knife and have considered a spear for the sake of variation but presumably the pucker factor is higher when hunting bear with a spear.

I like the checkering and the contrast between black and shiny silver. The symetry is neat. It awakens the my teenage dreams of a knife

 

[makandr]

Yes, though there is a saying - symmetry invented fools ...

 

[Bigfattyt]

I tell you what, makandr, if I ever make my way to your neck of the woods, I'd visit your collection like a museum! More interesting than any museum I've ever seen!

 

[makandr]

Spasibo!

This is AMAZING!! Finally a ferrule that is a real deal ferrule, not a "spacer"!! :thumbup:
And the knife itself is beautiful

 

[BladeScout]

Art Deco style to somehow diversify severe classics. Wootz, blued steel, artificial tusk.

Looks great.
I really like that handle and have bought ELFORYN, which looks like ivory, in order to shape handle slabs for a couple of my knives. Mostly for the sake of the difference a white or aged ivory look makes.

What is the material of the 'artificial tusk' - ELFORYN or other ... ?

 

[makandr]

Thanks all! I don't know what material but very similar even the veins are reproduced. I have another one piece put on a large blade.

 

[makandr]

Test the blade of the bears knife. The blade is forged from 1883 Krupp rails.

Same rails forged sword. The rails are found on the lake bottom.

those are some neat relics, and it's awesome that they've found a new life in something that will continue providing use well into the future

 

[makandr]

Thanks!

Spasibo!

Няма за какво!

Благодаря ви много за споделяне на всички красиви ножове и копия с нас.

I don't speak much Russian, but do speak Bulgarian, so I understand a few phrases in Russian.

 

[makandr]

My sister lives in Sofia so Bulgaria to me is not an alien. Let us show you a selection of my bear knives.
