Thread: Show me your knives

yeah its hard case just how many of them are split so straight,,,Ive been known to pick up a river stone as desperate measure before when knife got very blunt but this is whole new level. being about 8" each way makes it easy to keep grind angle constant and not worry about off hand slipping over edge of knife (that hurts and takes 8-9 weeks for tip of finger to heal over).... the best bit of knife related kit I own is a mesh glove for off hand....Mrs got sick of carting me off to be sticthed up LOL.

Latest one, based on a Bark River but I can't remember which model.
Make a great hunting knife.
Might have it sold but if not it could be available.
Kitchen knife for my lovely wife next.

Flash as

that is very nice indeed.

Representing the ugly brigade. 22" OKC machete with ugly handcrafted handle, 14" blade Condor Barong with ugly marine ply handle and Becker Bk5 camp magnum knife. The original handles were too small for me. All high use ,the machete gets flogged doing fence clearing work,( most tools in the tropics get the 'rust patina' lol so I don't care) the barong goes on my backpack for hiking, the becker magnum for general use. I think the barong and becker are now out of production.

My Silver Stag Bowie. Made in the USA has stabbed an chopped a few things.

That’s certainly different, not sure I would call it a Bowie though, looks like a spearpoint to me...the handle looks good to slash and hack with, is it comfortable for delicate or reverse grip stuff?

Got a few knives but none come close to these ones handed Dow. A few generations. Hold their edge really well and stay sharp as f**k

My new knife arrived in the post today, it was made for me by my friend Mark Bird.
Mark is a custom knife maker in the UK and this is number 112 that he has produced.
Made from 3mm 01 tool steel with a Scandi grind and Kirinite Venom handles with G10 liners and brass pins.
He is on both Facebook and Instagram as mbblades and produces some very nice work.
He makes his own custom knife sheaths too.

At the Sika Show there was a recurring comment from women as their husbands looked at knives... what a waste of time because you can't sharpen a knife. One lady was in raptures as her husband looked at the Scary Sharp stand. She said to hubby "I mend your hunting clothes at least you can learn to sharpen our knives." She looked daggers at me but smiled once I told her I had the old model as well as the new kit.

20 odd years ago I made some heavy blade clip-point hollow-handle survival knives from O1 steel. Last year I found some handles and a couple of blade blanks in a box of junk so I decided to make one up into a tanto style point. At some stage I will have to knock up a sheath as well, as it is just being used as a paperweight at present.

I will swap you a kydex custom sheath for a spare handle if you have an extra lying around.
