The style is perfect, but the handle choices leave something to be desired. That pattern screams for jigged bone, which I have not seen offered.
I had to look that one up. Very nice. :thumbup:

Nice old Model 11, George!
Here is another from a friend of mine's collection which I hope you'll enjoy seeing. One of the 1st one's made in 1952. Sheath is by C.J. Moore because Heiser had not tooled up for it yet. The translucent snaps were leftovers from the original run in mid 1946.
Best,
I love model 11s and that one is spectacular... :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have quite a few "favorites" but this old Marble I rehandled is near the top...
I have bigger knives but I really like the 'button hole' knife from Northwoods. I bought one this fall and used it to gut a couple deer and was pleased with the performance. No need for a giant pigsticker. 1095 with a 4" blade. I swiped this pic from knivesshipfree, where I bought it. Very good value too, particularly for a made in USA knife.
I recently picked up this A.G. Russell camp knife on the 'bay:

The owner was a lunatic but I got a decent deal and it's unused.
I was going to just put it away but it's got such great balance I might break down and strap it on for my next outing.

This knife was made by Graham Clayton back in the early 1990s when he had a workshop at Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield. It is 14.75 inches long with a 9.5 inch blade. The blade was ground by Rowland Swindon. The scales are beautiful rosewood. Graham and Rowland are shown hard at work in one of the museum's brochures.

My favorite fixedblades is all handmade.
If I should pick my favorit that is recognised its the mora #1.
All my knifes has great simularities to that typ of knife. Simple and good.
The handmades can be of workingstyle, simpler knifes made to the risk of destruction and knifes with many hours of work made for beauty and funktionality but not for the "bad" work.

As far as users, these 'traditional' fbs have been great users. The KaBar is legendary - and my Dad's old WWII version was my camping knife for years. I have found a Buck 119 to be most utilitarian, although still a bit large - but $34 from WallyWorld. The Bark River 'Boone' in bocote is too pretty to use... almost! The Marbles is 'Ideal' for many tasks. The last two are convex edged - a recently acquired taste here.
Oddly, with careful shopping, you can likely get the other three total for what the Bark River would run. Below is a pair of small commemorative Marbles - the old Carl DaWeese special and a bird/trout knife - bought for $110 for both, inc s/h, from an evil-bay store. They are just a handy sized CS knife, the longer being ~7.5" OAL. Bark River makes a near equivalent to the smaller one, too.
