Show me your custom camp knife/chopper.

[mike deibert]

I really appreciate all the compliments. Doug, it makes me happy that a style you don't typically like has caught your eye. That's kind of what I was going for on that piece.

 

[Doug C]

Good deal, Mike.
I think every collector that likes the brut de forge style should have at least one example in their collection.
I was fortunate enough to recently get to test and mess around with just such an example on loan from Jimmy Fikes.
With much appreciation. Thanks, Jimmy.

Edit: Both this knife and the Shiva Ki from the testing all those years ago.

Doug,
That's a sweet piece by Jimmy Fikes. Very clean and the forging texture is very well done also. I don't know Jimmy personally but I have seen his work and really like it. Thanks for sharing that pic! You going to Blade? It would be cool to meet you if you are going. I'm at 10Q.

 

[Rick Marchand]

I dig those Fikes/Keeslar BdF type blades... yours is no exception, Mike. Well done.

So I'm a little slow on the uptake... How is this thread so old?!?!

There's a lot of lovely knives posted, I really like the patina on this one

Paul Savage just finished this up for me, W2 and Hawaiian Koa:

 

[JayGoliath]

Shockbrain,

I'd like to use that for slashing off a new trail! a very ergo handle and a long blade.

 

[Infi-del]

My Siegle Scythe. 14" long, .25" thick, 3" wide 5160 blade. 29" OAL. I think it's differentially heat treated. It's a chopper for sure.

 

[Jetzler1]

Some very nice knives.:thumbup:
I recently finished up a knife that I think would fit this category.
5160 14 1/8" overall length 3/16th thick 2 1/2" tall at its widest point with Cocobolo scales.

Man, that's nice. I love the shape of the handle and the recessed lanyard hole. Great job. :thumbup:

Dave Behrens I really love that second chopper. Love the sheath also. Looks very functional. What is the blade length and thickness of that second one?
