What Survival Knives Are Ya Wantin or Waitin On ?

i recently pulled the trigger and ordered one of these beauties, from Matt of ML knives.... it had been a while since i had gottena knife from him and i figured i was a bout due..:D

This knife from Koyote is in the mail right now. This picture was taken when he was rough sanding the handle, thats why it looks dusty. I'll be sure and post some more pics when I get it.

I am wainting on a few right now. A Skookum in 3V & a couple of Condors. I am glad to see the Condors where in stock at SMKW, I ordered the Bushlore & the Large Basic heavy work knife.
I also need to get another Fiddleback & a Laconico, just can't decide which ones.
 
Looks like my long-awaited Diving Sparrow Knife Works Bushcrafter's from Abe Elias are almost done.
9.5" overall - 4.75" blade - 3/16" thick.

I've been waiting on a Vic OHT for some time. The order has gone into back-order limbo due to another item being out of stock.

Hey Mike do ya have this one yet ? How ya liking it, any pics ?
 
Just received a Hibben IV factory second... 10 bucks. Did a neat leather wrap on the handle, the factory grip sucked. The spine is half an inch thick. It chops like an axe... but I'm having trouble keeping a decent edge on the thing-dunno what the deal is. Could just be me I guess. I've got a bunch of old traditional folders on the way-Camillus Eagle and US issue folding knife, Case Sod JR and an Imperial Sod and Barlow knife, a bunch of other trappers and stuff like that.
 
Just gave in to the blow out sale at Warriors and Wonders and ordered a Spyderco Bill Moran Drop Point with orange handles.

Also have a BRK Fox River with special request handle materials(Red linen Micarta,white liners, reppin home country colours:D) that's in at KSF, I just have to send payment this coming payday.
 
6 new mora's and a puukko from the evil bay...:thumbup::D

I think the issue is it's actually too hard... a bastard file won't touch it. It's a full flat grind with a really horrendous convex edge and microbevel, which is at least 45/90 degree edge. I need to do some major stock removal and my file isn't touching it
