Is that an Olsen?
Damn handsome right there
That's a unique one
Bolo, water buffalo horn handles, 10 1/2" blade length. This was my father's. He gave it to me 3 years ago.
GorgeousIronically there isn’t much of a knife tradition here in Australia, as has been discussed before. We have to import them from far off places. This is my best example

It's a Kissing Krane/Robt. Klaas of the typical Solingen 8" fulltang bowie model.
The blade looks just like my typical Solingen Olsen but the guard is thicker.
At some point I decided this was the perfect knife, and put on a glue-lam handle to encapsulate the tang so it wouldn't rust. The thin original guard is forward of the fatter one I thought was needed to balance the thicker handle. I intend to cut some designs into the handle to make it grippier. The original Olsen stag grips are on the GR boning knife.

This one should do. That's a Camillus sailor's knife next to it to give you a sense of scale.
:Thumbsup:
Anybody would be transfixed by that beauty Christian
A recent one from Bill Siegle.

The Camillus-Fisk OVBs are such great looking knives. I should have bought them way back when. I'm glad you were able to find one.
