Traditional and Modern pairings

Had some time today to enjoy lunch alongside the Mighty Mississip. HK Mini Axis and Boker Pen Knife.

These two easy open spears for a little Cinco de Mayo dinner and a few margaritas tonight.

This one isn't a real pairing per se. But I used the Alox to loosen the pivot of the M16 in order to remove the autolawks. But I thought I would take a shot of the pair as this is my second cadet. The first one was stolen a few years back.

Loving this Cadet though, it's really handy!

I don't think the enjoyment ever ends. No matter which traditionals come with me, the PM2 is almost always (95% of the time) with me. :thumbup:

Really like that GEC clip!

Thanks. The PM2 is a great knife and really lives up to all the intrenet hype. The blades on the Muskrat are very thin and nearly slices as well as my Opinels. I believe ebony has become my favorite traditional handle material.

Is that 'rat 1095? For me, I think favorite covers might have to go to camel bone:



Nice, dark ebony is pretty great too, just a little underrepresented. I was slow to the party, I only recently discovered the wonderment of the Osage orange tree. :confused:

It is 1095, camel bone looks great, i have not had the pleasure yet to enjoy it in person.
 
I see I haven't posted in this thread. The only work of this kind I've done is re-profile the blade on a POS Imperial fish knife that had the blade tipped. Certainly no big deal.

However I do have a few that were modified by others. Let's start out with a couple of Electrician Knives by a fella you all know, Glennbad. Glenn has re-handled a few others for me but I'm sorry to say I had work done by three or four others so I don't remember which ones are Glenn's work and which ones are done by someone else. Should have kept track but it's too late now. I also have a Camillus 23 in Glenn's work queue but you all know what a busy fella he is so it may be a while before I get to display it.

I'll probably get my unit slapped for this one but I don't care. I love it. A fella down in S.W. Missouri re-handled this Kershaw Leek for me in Culpepper smooth bone with the colors of the Viet Nam Service Ribbon. Thanks Rob (Whitebuffalo58), it's one of a handful of favorites.

Rob also put together this Camillus 72 Frankenknife for me as a surprise gift. He used a Stockman sheepfoot blade in place of the coping blade and Whitetail antler handles. He also put a regular clip blade in it instead of the 72 clip blade and a pen blade on the cap end instead of the small clip. Another of my favorites.

Rob did this Frankenknife for me at my request. I had him replace the small clip blade on a Camillus 72 with a small screwdriver/cap lifter. It's my EDC. Are you starting to notice a theme here? :D

This one was a surprise gifted to me by Dale Vincent (orvet). Made my jaw drop. What a guy and what a knife. I believe this one started life as an Electrician's Knife too.

I think that's enough for now.
 
An Ancient and a Modern. Both beautiful in their own way. The most excellent belt sheath was made by Gary Graley.

These two are with me at my busy shop today,

Sprint run Military, M390 and carbon fiber, very well used by my me(pretty sure it has been run over by a car too), along with a slip joint by Bruce Barnett J.S. in Sheoak lace and Bruce's own mosaic starburst damascus
