Looks like my pic was deleted from post 57, so I'll put it up again.

For those old-timers who know, my uncle was Master blade smith Ralph Bone (Lubbock TX). Although I could never afford to buy one of his knives, I did receive this for my 14th birthday. Truly a sweet hunting/fishing blade. The bone handle is hand carved for my hand from a wax impression.

This pic doesn't do it justice. I'll try to get a better one up

Very cool steel pattern! Reminds me of an episode of Forged in Fire, my boys and I used to watch that all the time.

My boss made this out of a piece of scrap steel

Took him about 4 hours with a grinder to cut it down to the thickness he wanted and then sharpen it

I guess mom liked the edge Deuce out on the kitchen knife...

Just snagged an Esee 5 for the coming apocalypse. It’s a beast of a knife.

I think Spyderco knives surpass BM knives in quality and desirability.

I totally agree 100%.

 

[tulkas]

Spyderco Chapparal with Raffir scales (very cool 3D effect)

I have every model of Chaparral made... love love love them. it’s the knife most frequently in my pocket and it’s the one in it right now.

But who would have a bat'leth just sitting around waiting for the throats of enemies and the glory of your house?

Oh yeah...

Kar-Plah!!!

First knife purchases since 2019, it had been much too long. Spyderco Para 3, and the Benchmade Bugout Mini.

the Para 3 is a great size for a folding EDC, this one is going get a lot of pocket time. The Bugout Mini was a spontaneous add, have the Bugout already and wanted to see the smaller version. Also, the bright colour caught my eye, and I like a little variety in my collection. It also weighs virtually nothing, so very discreet if need be.

 

[CLKin]

I'm currently carrying a Ferrum Forge Crux, or a PM2 from Spyderco or a suwannee river puukko knife...

Currently, I've started making my own.

That's four and five I've ever made....

My EDC is a Manx 2 and an Esee 3P. Love’em I’ll have to get some knife pr0n uploaded.

I had an opportunity to snag a couple of these TOPS knives for a steal (brand new). I've seen some reviews that put them in the same category as Esee knives. I ordered sight unseen, without getting my hands on one in person. Hoping I didn't make a mistake, but the price was right. Thoughts?
