So for one month I'm only going to carry traditional knives.
And in that thread Blues posted about traditional neck knives....
So,I'm wondering if there are any production fixed blades in a traditional style and pattern that could be carried in a necker sheath or a KSF Adirondack Sheath.
Preferably Carbon Steel and jigged bone handle scales.
Pics and suggestions please :D
Also customs are an option but 250$ and under only please.
Thanks guys -Andrew

Matt is a great maker. I need to get a few more of his smaller blade. He also makes folders.
 
Try Michael Morris, He's got a couple of knives that might fit the bill and I am sure he can make an appropriate neck sheath. Plus he's a great guy with a high attention to f&f and a VERY FAST turnaround time.
 
Gerry Drew (gldrew) is another person who sells in the makers' forum and makes a really nice small knife. He is doing a lot of carbon steel knives these days. You could drop him a line and see if he could whip something up for you.
 
Ray Kirk (ABS Master Smith) would be a great choice imho. He makes great knives at a great price and knows something about sharp.
 
I gotta get some cash together :)
Then I'm gonna contact Charles may about a Handy Scandi in dark bone scales.
And see about getting it jigged :D
Thanks for the pics and suggestions guys, top notch as usual :)
Do any of you own a handy scandi? I'd love to hear how they handle, carry, etc.
 
Not a Handy Scandi, but I do own a Big-Hand Scandi. Charlie May makes a great knife for the money & is a character too. He makes his handle scales kind of slim so if you like them thicker you will need to specify this.
