Full grind with layered G10 handle scales .
Lovely.
When is ivory not ivory, when it’s elforyn, a German product made specifically to replicate ivory without the killing of elephants and the yellowing that ivory goes through over time.
Used now every place that ivory used to be used, got some cheap, thought I would give it a whirl,!tossed it in a kydex sheath, intended as a very handy and capable neck knife, but could also throw a tec-lok and wear it on a belt, or on the straps of your pack.
3mm O1 tool steel, heat treated and triple tempered in an oxygen free environment by me. Convex edge taken to 8000k on Japanese water stones, comes with copper pins. Large finger choil to get up a personal with whatever you are cutting.
About to throw some Paracord on it for neck carry.

Not a fan of choils normally but that one looks like a good comfortable design. Nice knife.
Getting through chefs knife orders, set of 3 to finish then hopefully have a chance to make a couple hunting knives next round.

A leather handled drop point hunter and a sgihn dubh
A little while ago a forum member did me a big favor and was very generous. This knife is returning the favor, early shape Boomslang hunter model.
14c28n stainless , full grind with G10 liners and handle scales combined with a dyed and laminated wood block.. He once again confirmed that on this forum there are some truly top people.Attachment 167650
And with the extra leather taken off, just waxing the leather now before a final clean up, never used a leather handled knife before, it feels amazing in the hand, warm and grippy at the same time.

Well, this one has been awhile in the line up. I have mostly had trailing point knifes all my life! from scouts to now and I like the design.
After seeing the others made by case, bark River, William's and schrade etc, they all had the blade a little small and the choice of steel wasn't what I wanted! except for Bark River could of gone with that steel but for the blade, as it wasn't in the line up.
There was only one choice, get one made and the steel is elmax, also the sheath has to points of attachment cross draw and what I'll call normal belt loop,the handle is in white corian.

I bought a knife kit from these guys
https://www.brisa.fi/catalog/categor...plies/id/2058/
It arrived in record time and I am very happy with the quality of it. The sheath in the kit is pretty shitty compared to the quality of the rest of it. So buy a couple of sheets of kydex while you are there and make your own.
Annual clean and sharpen today :)

now THAT is a mirror finish LOL.
I have a folder... the push down lock, not liner. anyway, I got some blood and crap in there. and the lock has gone floppy, or lost tension. iv cleaned and sprayed the likes of wd40 in there to free up anything like a spring or however it works. but no success. I'm guessing the wood liners may have to come off. I'm not sure how they work.
can this kind of thing be fixed, or even worth fixing? the knife is a boker, I like it, and has been around for a while, I kind of planned keeping it for longer. I didn't expect it to fail this way, when it seems so minor. ?
Sometimes you need to take them apart to get rid of whTs stuck in there, does it have screws that yiu can undo? If not then give it a really good wash with soapy water and then try and blow compressed air into dislodge gunk, then try spray, failing all else post a pic, most folders,can usually come apart one way or another.
Attachment 169504 a Mamba high carbon hunter, forced patina with a secondary stipple patina. Instructions were it was to be nice and bright so once it was put down it is easy to find again.
Following photo shows the knife straight into its work the following night.
I have lost count of the times I have put a knife down and then had to spend a couple of minutes searching for it. Mine now wears a strip of pink flagging tape.
@Shearer I went a step further and my sheath holds a steel with has a glow in the dark tag on it.... Doesn't stop you losing the knife though!
