Traditional Knives with Cocobolo Covers

KBA, thanks for the welcome! I've been a long time reader, just trying to get more talkative! I certainly can't resist a whole thread dedicated to cocobolo.

Primble,
Those fixed blades are amazing. I'm more of a folder guy most of the time, but I may need a second knife fund!

Welcome to the porch and thanks for the comments. I love my Humphrey fixed blades in Cocobolo. :thumbup::thumbup::)

I would rate them right up there with the TC Barlows, which I also regard highly.

It's John Landi's Bushcrafter model. I picked it up a while back, when I wanted a Kephart knife. I don't like the historical knife, but wanted something that fit the description in his writings.



It's a nice design, but I don't get much use out of it. The edge is rather thick so I can't get the blade as sharp as I like. I'm looking for someone to thin it out or perhaps reprofile it to a full convex.

Thanks, I am not a huge fan of the scandi grind since my knives are rarely pushed to the extremes where that extra thickness would benefit.
But man that is sweet.
 
Aha, I see. I imediately whent over to collectorknives to check them out and the one I viewed was scandi.
 
Mine finally arrived! Right into the pocket. Love the coco covers, GEC 85 is still #1, but this could replace it.

Great looking beer scout Jeff. :thumbup: I really had to fight hard not to get one of those.

 
Thanks KBA, Love that coco linerlock.
The BSK is one of the nicest GEC knives I have gotten. Perfect F&F, walk and talk is great, flush at the 1/2 stops.
Blades snap and lock into place. I am glad I got a couple, these are great knives!!!
I am also liking the bail, just trying to find the right lanyard to go with it.
