Thread: Show me your knives

Are you sure it's not yr thing as the trench knife post makes two vintage military knives now? If you aren't really into them I'd be happy to give them a home with some similarly elderly fellows and could even offer swaps in the hunting field in production or custom?

Definitely my sort of thing, it's always nice to have some knives that are older than me after all the years of collecting as it helps justify the obsession, "it's preserving history". I have fixed hunters and general folders too but will have to dig them out for more photos to come. Of course all collectors are just hoarders with good taste, lol.

Wow! I can’t help but wonder what action that dagger might have seen.

Probably not as much as you @Rushy ,

They were ornimental uniforn accoutrements Rushy. Not a fighting item at all.

What type of leather do I need to try and make a sheath for a knife?

I have been meaning make a Santoku for awhile , composite handle with a mosaic pin , 1084 steel .

Classic Bark River.

Classic fillet knife for a local spearo. Simple stabilised swamp kauri handle and nitro v blade at 61rc with a medium to stiff flex profile. Convexed down to almost zero edge so should cut super well without being chippy.

Extra long handle as owner has big hands. This will see a fair few fish...

Bought these last weekend. The Sheffield folding knife is good, $10.99, I have another but they do need a good cleaning up with a whetstone to get them razor sharp, this one has a burr from the factory sharpening. The Green River outdoors knife is great, $41.99, I did run it over a leather strop to improve the edge. I was really impressed with the Bahco knife, like a razor blade and didn't have to touch up the edge in any way, lady at the shop said they get alot of farmers buying them, sold six to one farmer few weeks ago. I'm going back in tomorrow to buy another maybe two, at $13.95 each why not?

the green river is same shape as what I use...the yare an awesome knife and will do pretty much anything...... welcome to the bacho club...we have one in each vechille and they get used a LOT.... easy t oresharpen when they eventually loose the edge too.

George Henry often have them on special. They're on now for $12 incl GST. I bought half a dozen for me and a few others a while back

I assume none of these come with a sheath as standard? Except of course the Bahco.
