Ok...TAH...OK
 
I like that scene by the way....I never knew that was a fake knife blade against Teasle's throat until I read about it, lol! Well,not fake but a very very rounded dull edge!! I guess they didn't want Stallone cutting Dennehy for real! LOL

I agree Tom, nice pic. Here is an older thread about hollow handle knives I made when I first started, http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...le-quot-Survival-quot-Knife-What-do-you-think .

That's back in September 2013 when I made my first knife and had never even spoken about making knives before. Not quite, but almost three years ago. Time sure flies. Some things have changed in how I make the knives, but it is an interesting read. Lots of good suggestions from experienced makers.

Sorry for the delay... Nothing bro, It is a pleasure for me to save your money!! This great forum and above all this fantastic thread, does just that.. To give and receive opinions, recommendations! I know that you surely have heard good things about the ER, you know why? Because they are very good at marketing.. But then just look at a couple of tests on YouTube to understand better.. Anyway, I'm sorry, I caused all this mess with only one question..... Really you're half Italian?? Great!! Sometimes I feel myself a bit alone, there are not many Italians on this forum....

Jackal,

You didn't cause all that drama bro! It had been built up since the issue transpired in 2015! I reckon it just all came to a head, and I was told in the wrong thread!

But all is good bro!! Yep, I am half Italian and half Native American!! And YES you sure did save me some big bucks with the ER news because I sure planned to buy more of those!! I cannot thank you enough bro!

Thanks for your good words! I am just trying to relax, clean and Polish some of my knives, and have the rest of a good day after all this drama earlier, LOL!

I love hollow handled knives...always have and always will!! And I'm sure like a lot of 80's Rambo child dreamers, I too got duped more than once by those cheapo "Here, buy this superb hollow handle mass produced knife from China and be like the Veteran John Rambo!"

But what the didn't tell anyone is that those knives only lasted maybe an hr with extreme use! Lol! So, it was back to the general store to buy yet Another awesome superb $5 Rambo knife! LOL!!

But now, as an adult, I am able to finally own the Top Quality ones, LOL!! Feels great too because we grew up Poor! Anyway gotta run bro! Wife just informed me that it is a Mexican Restaurant Night!! Lol. Later buddy!

Pls keep in mind...Never pay a knifemaker upfront to make your knife because as someone said, it is the Hardest knife for a knife maker to make...One that is already Paid For!!

Hmm, never thought about that before.

I paid, up front, for a HH a couple years ago. It was like pulling teeth trying to get my knife after every missed deadline.
The maker finally got sandy with me and told me that he would refund my "deposit", $40 or so, he could always sell the knife to a willing buyer in his"available" section. I had to explain to him that I had already PAID for the knife! After a few more weeks, he finally made the knife and got it to me.

It's one of the more awesome looking blades in this thread. It hasn't broken yet. But I certainly don't trust the workmanship after dealing with the lack of moral integrity from the maker. I will never buy another from him that's for sure.

My suggestion is to make a deposit, put the money away, be patient, and keep shopping!

On a lighter note, it's nice to see a Robson X46 in this thread. I bought one of these at the same time I bought the "other" HH. The Robson is great!
 
A few new HH's delivered today. They may be on the "budget" side of the spectrum, but sure get a lot for the bucks.

Schrade SCHF2 and 2M

 
I was just going to ask someone here about those Schrades! You read my mind!

I guess I'll have to try one.

Sam, the thing I remember the most about your introduction is that crazy video of you doing chin ups on the handle of one of your knives. You had me at hello! :D

Ha, yes I wanted to show they were no joke right off the bat. I need to redo the video and do less talking and more showing.

Thank you, Ian. I think my photobucket was running out of room awhile back and I cleaned some of my photos out.

Too bad CR quite making the HH knives.

I bought a CR Shadow but always wanted a Project II.

Apropos nothing at all; I feel like buying a Sam Wilson knife:)

RPWs are built for hard use and pretty comfortable. Nice folks to deal with. I don't have one with the threaded cap but he showed me the protos a few years back and I was impressed with the precise fit.

Copy that. I don't own a Wilson HH yet, but if the quality of my Kephart is any indication of his work you will not be disappointed. Exceptional attention to detail. The sheath craftsmanship almost surpasses the knife.

To answer the e-mail question regarding the person in the pic with my son. First one is Vaughn Neeley. He still is making the same high quality stuff and is modest as ever. He is a walking encyclopedia.

Second one is a good friend from TM Hunt Customs. Todd and Murph are good dudes that do some amazing work as well. Now if I can con them into doing an M-18 HH version.

That RPW looks dang nice. Ive liked those ever since noticing them for the first time.
 
What's the story on the Robson buttcap? They started out as a plug and are now threaded?

LOL yeah I feel ya bro...But I tried that deposit crap too...That doesn't work either. To me, all that is is a bait-and-hook thing!

Lately I have been getting into the Japanese katana swords, esp the Zatoichi katanas aka hidden stick swords! I got 2 of those so far...both made with high carbon steel. And I also bought a regular Japanese katana...41" blade also of high carbon steel!

My thought lately is about one that also has a hollow handle type build! That might be kinda dumb idea though!! But hey, a lot of naysayers think hollow handle knives are pretty dumb.

But they just judge them from those cheapos!! My M1, as much as I hate to admit it, is a solid Solid build knife! As well as my hh knives by Andrew Clifford, Martin Knives, and my Ray Matton First Blood Tribute knife!! And I'd go to bat and defend their quality against Anyone!

I have always loved hh knives!!
 
My wife and I are taking a long-awaited trip this coming October!! We are going thru Colorado, Dodge City, Kansas, Wyoming, maybe up around Oregon but not sure! Then we are coming back through Oklahoma to see my daughter whom we just reconnected and started getting close to after her mother ran off with her and filled her full of lies!

Anyway, I wanna find a way to really put a couple of my hh User knives to good use! It's gonna be a lot of fun...kinda like a very long camping trip!

And I'm also making plans to go on a hiking trip myself and walk part of the Appalachian Trail! I know a couple of my hh knives will be put to some great use there!!

I just wanna finally do things and see places I've never seen before!!
