Show me your Green River blades

Those are very nice Scruff, good to see you here :)



 
Had to put my Dadley to work this evening.

It's a handy kitchen knife.....when you don't use it spine down that is!

 
Sorry for the pic, it was sellers.

This one is on it's way to Pasadena TX ,today. Amber dyed Sambar
These are cool little knives,they get wicked sharp . Some guys see them & do not know what to think of the blade profile,so I sometimes refer to them as "cheese" knives,lol. In one site that sells the blades I've seen them called " Pacific Parer "

^^^^^^^^^ At the primitive shows they are referred to as patch blades or patch knives. Oh and beautiful cutlery and sheath.
 
Scruffuk,that is a new blank I handled with slabs of walnut that Ethan Becker gave me that he used on the very first Becker knives back in the 80's.A friend who is into blackpowder and has an antique flintlock as a wall display liked it so I used industrial strength hydrogen peroxide and salt to "age" it.As soon as I get a sheath made it is going on his wall to accompany the flintlock.
 
I have the Hunter/Belt knife (4215) sitting on my desk, it needs a sheath. Anybody have some good input on where to find a sheath or have one made?
Such a simple design such a useful knife.
 
willis - that's really impressive antiquing then! It looks like a museum piece from the Royal Armouries or such like.

I think it's gonna look just the part on your friends wall.

VCM3 - I like the class you've exuded into that Pacific Parer. With that sambar stag it's really a looker.

billym - I reckon you could whip one up easy amigo. There's some good example sheaths in this thread already and a second hand pair of boots or an old belt could be all that's needed to produce something unique.

VM inbound!
 
Since I saw these knives on Vince's website (in their upgraded version, I shall say), I got interested in Green River knives, although I haven't handled one (yet :p).
Now, for you people who own and use them...how do you think these knives work in the outdoors? a couple of them (the larger butcher knives specifically) caught my eye as a possible alternative to a short machete for light vegetation. I know the weight balance might be odd but...wooden handles (easy to contour as well), carbon blades, thin stock and grind...am I right? ;)

Fausto
:cool:
 
Fausto, I've found these to be great outdoors knives. You describe their key features perfectly.

I can contest to the butchers a knives ability for the use you describe too.

Although I don't have one personally an old friend and bushwhacking buddy of mine did, and I had a good play with it several times. It really 'sings' in use, which I find most satisfying.

I have a Dadley blank with your name on it if you fancy giving one a whirl amigo? (Also have the name of a European supplier for the butchers blades I you want it?).

You are far too kind :)
Glad to hear my thoughts weren't that insane after all :D
Please PM me with the info on Euro supplier and I will take a look at it... :rolleyes:

Fausto
:cool:
 
Is this the sort of thing you mean Fausto?



Or this (Elliott Butcher Knife and Sheffield Dadley)?



I've only used the top one for slashing and hacking in my garden, but it seems to work OK.
 
An early 70's Eddie Bauer edition of the Dadley and an 80's stainless Buffalo Skinner.

Jack - Now you are just showing off :p

SAK Guy - loving that Dadley sans the scaling ridges. The sheath for it looks really tidy.
