Traditional Fixed Blade

[dispatch 510]

What is everybody's favorite. Mine is a Sharpfinger. Just love the way it fits my hand.

I have a Boker Loveless style droppoint that I have carried for 15 years every deer season along with a Schrade trapper. It has a been very good knife.:thumbup:

I have to admit to divided loyalties.

On one hand, my old Buck 102 woodsman has been a solid companion on too many camping/fishing/hiking trips. It's one of my favorite sheath knives. On the other hand I love the simple wood handle Frosts number 1 with the laminated blade. I used the plastic sheath for the base of a nice leather puuko style sheath I made for it.

But if I run into an old little finn somewhere at a resonable price, I'm gonna get it!

Funny you mention the Sharpfinger. I just read a great book (Dead in 5 Heartbeats) that made me do some research on that exact knife. I like it, I am trying now to find an authentic older Sharade version.

To pick one on my own would be a recently acquired Case Lil Devil. Nice size (for me), full tang. I need a custom sheath though, the one it came with is twice the size of the knife!

I recently got a Nessmuk from SDS, a forum maker. Its shape is very faithful to the original, and it is handled with curly maple (my favorite). I have always admired the unusual shape of the Nessmuk, and although I haven't used it much (yet), I have found the broad blade very useful for preparing kindling and food.

You got one heck of a deal. It should give you years of service.:thumbup:

I love sheath knives.:thumbup: The only time I don't have one or two on me is at work. Lately I have been buying customs from one of our board members, sort of traditional as they are "bushcraft" style made from carbon steel.

But I do have a few vintage traditionals around. I can't seem to pass them up when I bump into them in my travels.

My favorite ,and my first fixed blade is a sc205 Sharpfinger, a gift I got as a teenager in the mid 80's.

This one gets carry time every now and then.

My other favorite is a Robeson #2 Bird&Trout,this one is a drawer queen. If I can find one in lesser condition It would definatly get carry time.

Sharpfinger is my all time favorite. It sits right in the hand and is very handy. I bought one in 1982 while stationed overseas and have used this knife for everything. Great knife! :thumbup:

I just recently got some fixed blades. Was never a big fan of them. Well that has changed.

My hands down favorite. Case Slabside.

But this is a close second.

And 3rd.

The other fixed blades I have are just junk.

Traditional Scandanavian-style fixed-blade knives are great, Bowie knives are OK, and I also like the Canadian Grohmann knives. But if picking only one favorite, I really have a 'thing' for drop-point hunters with natural handles.

But this is a close second.

I sure wish Case would make some of those stacked leather knives with carbon steel.

So would I ! I am suprised that they don't offer one or two . I would think that outdoorsmen would snatch them up even if the collectors did not.

I don't own one but Queen Cutlery make some drop point hunters that look good as do their Amber Bone range in Barehead style.

A Puukko, my home grown product ,makes a nice traditional sheath knife(they have some of the best sheathes,simple and effective)

Bark River's Escort Boot Knife is a smallish knife with traditional aspect,sheath isn't much good though so I use a puukko pouch style or 1 from another BR.
