Enough of them safe queens making the headlines
Let's make a thread where we post the custom we use the most, pictured as it is.
For me it's the 7" bladed camp/utility knife I got from Achim Wirtz. The steel is 52100 (AKA cuts good & stains fast), the guard is copper, the handle stag and the butt ivory.
I've been using it on every occasion for over 2 years. Except for the patina, still the same great knife.

I love that knife, even the patina. It adds character. Is it for sale?

You're right when you say 52100 stains fast...

Good thread flava, here are a couple of customs that we've been using in the kitchen for over 10 years. The long one is forge W1 and the other is 1095, both have cocobolo handles. They stain but have never rusted, we just rinse and dry them off, never put a drop of oil on either. Pretty good knives made by some guy in Missouri

Here are a few quick pics of a camp knife made by Matt Roberts.I'm trying to use it for anything and everything. It is starting to develop some nice colors and character.Great idea Flava.

That Roberts guy needs to learn how to finish a knife....

I've used most of my knives. It's nice to know how other maker's work performs. It lets me know what works and what doesn't work as well.
