I have the same one Tim but with plastic handle. Looks the same. The name John gave it is a bad word on these forums Ha Ha

My old Svord rabbiters knife that I put together from a kit years ago when Svord was a fairly new name on the knife scene . Sheath I made from some old heavy leather I found at the same time .
This knife has done alot of miles .
Nice job on the sheath i.e. it stops the knife falling out. Our Svord's are now very sharp but the sheath is loose and you need to be extra careful.Choice job on the handle.:thumbsup:
Here's my favourite one

Very nice
Nice knives Taff. I especially like the last one, did you make these?
Very nice
Bryan, sorry but no, my ability at creativity is crap, the last two are backwoods customs, the next is a William Jarrett bird/trout, and the second is a emberleaf , and the first a drew which is my go to first at the moment.
Your Jarrett and Blackwoods knives are fantastic, knife porn of the highest standard :thumbsup:
no where near as flash as some of these knives but has put in some work for me

Top knife i made from a 57 Vanguard leaf spring. The bottom i made from a builders flat jimmy bar.
Both handles (aluminium slabs top and hikory sledge hammer handle bottom ) are pined ,glued,and bound with builders line .
Not flash but both are over 20 years old and strong as hell.
Brilliant Mohawk. There is a saying that the best knife is the knife you have when you need a knife. Those two look like they would be very handy best knives.
Yup its always nice too use something you've made yourself . They were both made with just a 5inch angle grinder and sand paper (and lots of water too keep things cool ). The handle pins I just drilled and snaped the drill bit of in the hole. Both hold an edge far better than I expected and both blades are the full length of the handles .
I bound the handles with builders line over wet epoxy then ran fishing rod binding over that in the gaps.
The little one has a rubber block on the end of handle and makes a mint rifle rest , real old school (Bipods are gay )
One on the bottom is one I made a few years back out of an old industrial saw blade. The handle is black Maire.
One on the top is the one I use most hunting because I can see the bloody thing when I put it down.Attachment 13934
Had a Mercator for a while, but looking for another knife, anybody able to suggest something solid for a reasonable price?

My top knifes ... the little pocket knife travels with me every day at work & home etc its a Gerber easy to flick out with one hand and easy to keep sharp and handy all the time.
The Indian sheath knife is from my Black Powder days - a hand made Bill Reddix special - he sent me this knife to trial for him - then let me keep it, 20+ years later the steel might be thinning but its sure a nice knife that handles skinning and gutting easy & stays sharp ...
The black sheath Knife is a Gerber, drop point I got given for my 21st birthday by a good friend of the family's ....... its done some yards - Has some hard hard steel that takes a bit to get sharp but stays that way for ages.........three years ago I boned out two stags a Pig and a spiker before it needed and new edge....this is my favourite .

Just outta the couriers hands after a rather different trip from the US.
Put my Gerber hack in for comparison.
You are hooked now :) Looks great.
Nah I think it was last week or the week before
G'day
I'm bored , because the weather is crap and I can't do any work , so I thought I'd show my two most used knives .
The Surge is always on my belt everyday I go to work , the Skeletool is for weekends and going out .
These are not hunting knives but everyday working tools .

Spyderco Delica4 Full Flat Ground.
These knives are amazing. Shaving sharp out of the box and still cuts paper after processing a few hares. Been through a few others over the years, a Cold Steel Mini AK47 more recently. Never gets used any more - complete trash compared to the Spyderco.
It's almost beneficial that they're hard to find in NZ, as damn we get ripped on knives even more than on guns! I also invested in the Spyderco Sharpmaker - well worth it. Absolutely fantastic once you get the hang of it.
Arrived yesterday. Bark River Nomad. Chechin burl.

Nice Tahr, has a bit of a Fallkniven look to it :thumbsup:
Just picked up a Bahco, I wish I could put an edge like this on my Svord! Insanely sharp.
And insanely cheap! Best bang for buck knives there are I reckon, seen them as low as $10 a while back.
No tears if ya lose them either :thumbup:
